With the Ski and Snowboarding Show in Earls Court looming and the ski season ahead of us we started thinking about what trends will shine out in Val d’isere this winter. It is just so important to be warm yet stylish whilst skiing in Val d’Isere.
Hopefully we will get a glimpse of the latest ski-wear and find out how the brands have mixed the latest clothing technology with the funkiest cuts and colours whilst in Earls Court. However, we found these style tips in the Guardian and have to say they’re pretty spot on:
The Trapper Hat, with ear flaps, in fake fur or the knitted variety, all are headwear of choice in the snow. This on-trend piece replaces the ear muff – somewhat 2009 – as a way of looking stylish and keeping warm. Topshop has reported a substantial rise in people buying the company’s knitted faux-fur trapper, which has dangling wool plaits as well as pom-poms. Gordon Richardson, Design Director at Topman states that the trapper hats have “become a unisex hit that fuse function and fashion.”
Cashmere Joggers – Gap have reported that their classy jogging pants are practically selling out. Vice President of Worldwide Public Relations and Special Projects, Anita Borzyszkowska, says “Those pants do a great job as they’re warm and comfortable but still have a sexy slouchy-ness to them that feels young and modern.”
Down Padded Coats – Uniqlo’s selection of padded coats that are vibrantly coloured and possess fake fur-trimmed hoods have supposedly “flown off the shelves” during the cold weather. The Japanese manufacturer has sold this particular variety of ski coat for many winters.
Extravagant and Fun Gloves – Among the best sellers at Asos during the cold weather are their pom-pom gloves. These are grey mittens in a simple design – but have a large red pom pom attached to each glove, which makes a style statement and will turn heads.
Please let us know what you would add to this heady mix!
