The January blues have (nearly) faded and we're looking onward and upwards to our favourite season of all: ski season.
Yep, that's right. While we're still a few months away from tropical beaches, and uneven tan lines, the time has come to choose the winter version of the perfect bikini set. We're talking about the ski suit, of course.
Unfortunately, skiwear is notoriously expensive, and if you're not a frequent skier (AKA only do it once a year) then you might be hesitant to splash the cash on the full monty of ski jackets, trousers and general ski accessories. But, we're nothing if not problem-solvers, and we've just discovered a way to shop stylish, high-quality skiwear for prices that would have you fooled.
Forget your go-to high-street retailers or professional skiwear shops, Aldi (yes, the supermarket) is coming in clutch with a full-fledged range of skiwear. We're talking ski jackets, snowboard jackets, ski trousers and all the ski accessories you could ever need. The brand has also launched skiwear for children, so you can get the whole family fitted and kitted with the best ski clothes.
The range is currently on sale in the highly coveted 'Specialbuys' section, with prices starting from as little as £6.99. No, we're not joking. So, before you hit the slopes, shop the full range of Aldi skiwear below.
