With the sporty luxe trend still ruling the runways, sportswear brands have upped their game when it comes to the fashion credentials of the kit you wear for actually keeping fit, and especially when you take to the slopes.
And the key to looking chic when you ski is all down to snow wear with a fashion-forward edge, like the new Dare 2b ski range in collaboration with Julien Macdonald. Discover five pieces below that will help you up your style (and performance) on the slopes...

Women's Affluence Ski Jacket JM Floral, £240 from Dare 2b
Choosing the right ski jacket is no easy feat. Attention to detail is everything, so invest in a jacket that has both style and substance, like this one from Dare 2b. The striking print on the feminine silhouette reflects an on-trend streetwear aesthetic that everyone's coveting right now, while the clever-working fabric will move and stretch with you on the mountain.

For an easy-win outfit, pick an all-in-one number that does all of the fancy styling for you. Go for glamour on the mountain-top in this slick ski suit, which boasts waterproof, breathable qualities and a flattering cinched-in waist. See, who said you have to choose between style and comfort?

Women's Grandeur Ski Suit White, £325 from Dare 2b
For an ultra chic skiing look, wear this minimalistic white and black ski suit on the slopes. It's got the perfect marriage of form and function (think moveable stretch fabric and high-shine zips) that you'd expect from high-performance snow wear with the luxury styling that's unmistakably Julien Macdonald.

Women's Plentitude Softshell Ski Pants White, £120 from Dare 2b
Another key tip to looking stylish whilst skiing is to choose pieces that will take you straight from the slopes to the après-ski. Cue these flattering full stretch trousers from Dare 2b. They feature a slight flare at the ankle, meaning you can sit them over chunky snow boots, yet they're fitted elsewhere for a figure-hugging finish. Genius.
