Ski weather lasts into spring in New England, and a good thing, too. Ski clothes and gear have seriously leveled up and you’ll want to take as many opportunities to wear them as you can.
The best ski clothes of the moment are incredibly comfortable, but they also take style into account, and are inspired by everything from global trends and classic Nordic motifs to sleek tech that goes along with your every move.
Up first: the base layer. Instead of the usual ho-hum long underwear, reach for Terramar Women’s Thermasilk Pointelle Scoopneck Shirt ($45.22 on amazon.com) and Terramar Women’s Thermasilk Pointelle Pant ($50 on amazon.com). Both are lightweight and don’t add bulk. They use thermoregulation Comfort Technology to regulate your body’s natural temperature.
And now for the sweaters. We’re talking sleek, fitted, and flattering — as in the Kate Mockneck Sweater ($328 on alpnrock.com). The retro-inspired pullover design is a quarter-zip with an “Après” motif with intarsia lettering and colorblock striping. Just as minimalist and elegant but more Scandinavian in approach is the Dale of Norway Geilo Fem Sweater ($166.41 on bobleisure.com) It’s made of 100% super soft merino wool in Norway that’s also great for exceptional insulation. It’s a clever mashup of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.
Ready for the pants? Some of favorites out there are the Glacier Bootcut Pant ($159 on athleta.com) in bright white. Their semi-fitted cut is so sharp and crisp and skims right over your body, with side zip pockets to secure your essentials and they feel incredibly luxurious thanks to a brushed lining. They come in a durable water repellent fabric. If it’s a one-piece you’re after, I highly recommend taking a look at the Isabel Soft Shell Bib Pant ($355 on halfdays.com), which is flattering, functional, and comfy thanks to a stretchy fit and adjustable elastic straps. And they come in all kinds of sassy hues, too. Keep an eye out for the lilac — just the pretty jolt of color a wintry day needs.
Speaking of jolts, you won’t want to miss the Metallic Talia Pant ($590 on perfectmoment.com) in silver foil. The high-shine, big-glam, down-insulated quilted pants have extendable flared legs (which not only look cool, but fit perfectly over ski boots). They keep keep you comfortably dry with water-resistant breathability and also sport four-way stretch.
As jackets go, the Women’s Verglas Glacier Down Jacket ($270 on hellyhansen.com) is the total package. Constructed of uber soft and warm European goose down and PrimaLoft® water-resistant synthetic insulation, it packs into a small sack and has an adjustable hood and hem, a brushed tricot chin guard, and durable water repellency. It also comes in a hot tangerine that’ll straight-up light up your vacay.
