Whether you’re a pro on the slopes or your priority is raclette and fondue, there’s no disputing that getting dressed for the slopes is fun. I mean, it has to be, right? Before you even start skiing, the whole experience is exhausting. Just walking in those heavy boots is a week’s worth of squats, and that’s before you even try to carry your skis. But if there’s anything that will get me enthusiastic about an activity, it’s a cool wardrobe.
That said, technical skiwear is an investment. After all, expert technology goes into developing each garment to ensure it’s warm, waterproof and durable at the same time, which is why it’s no surprise ski-clothing rental is one of the biggest areas of growth in the fashion rental market right now. Specialist site Blanqo recently launched with a concise edit of stylish ski-wardrobe essentials, featuring brands such as Poivre Blanc, which means instead of having to fork out over £500 for a ski jacket, you can rent it from £50. As someone who started learning to ski later in life and clearly has a long way to go, this was music to my ears.
But how to choose what to wear? Gone are the days of plain black, white or red oufits. You can be as creative as you want, and I’ve been told that what I lack in technique I make up for with my outfits, so when it comes to spotting the hottest trends on the slopes this season, I have you covered. Here are some of my favourite influencers showcasing the must-have skiwear trends for 2022, including the new-season colour palettes, prints and accessories.
