The Best Skiwear For Conquering The Slopes In Style

Nailing women's ski wear can be tricky. Is bright neon or head-to-toe black gear best? What about technical kit, like gore-tex gloves? Moon boots? You'll also need chunky knits, fluffy boots and lots of layers. Ski clothes require quite a lot more forethought than you might have initially imagined...

You want to be warm and snug, with few gaps for the snow to slip in, but you'll need to be able to access the toilet in probably a tiny cubicle half way up the mountain, so you don't want to be too locked in either. And then how do you arrive at a stylish overall look, taking all those things into account? Not to mention incorporating the essential après ski chic aesthetic too...

Feeling overwhelmed? Fear not, for we have scoured the finest skiwear brands to bring you our pick of the best-looking (but equally useful) ski wear around to ensure you're ready to hit the slopes in serious style. From Perfect Moment's cult jumpers and Jimmy Choo's super cool (but warm) balaclava, to the hottest high-fashion pieces from Fendi, Balmain and Prada – these are the pieces to pack for your next ski break.
