The ski trip is booked, the mountains are calling and finally, it's time to get excited about skiwear (and après obviously). But before your trip, it wouldn't hurt to compile a shopping list of all the things you might need to look and feel great on the slopes from ski jackets, ski helmets and thermals.
If you're a veteran skier, champion snowboarder or just getting your head round the snowplough - the right gear all lends a helping hand. The classic Moon or UGG boot is currently having a moment, taking you seamlessly from the chair lift to chalet, whilst outdoor brands The North Face with its recent Skims collab has you covered for puffers.
For salopettes and ski trousers try Moncler for a luxury moment, or Zara's new skiwear collection if you're after something a little more budget-friendly.
From green to black runs, beginners to expert, slopes to aprés, we've found the hardest working (and best looking) skiwear and accessories you will need for your next ski holiday. You'll be up in that mountain air in no time.
Shop: The Best Pieces For Skiing and Snowboarding
Oakleywww.oakley.com
Grazia's Shopping Writer Emily Farquhar swears by these snow goggles. She says: 'If there is ever a need to splurge on a ski item, it should be on your goggles. And, Oakley's newest addition does not disappoint. Designed with switchlock technology (meaning fast and secure swaps in changing conditions), the goggles come with two different lenses. Both, might I add, with incredibly sharp optics. You'll never lose your partner on the slopes again.'
Dare 2bwww.dare2b.com
In need of the ultimate aprés ski fit? Dare 2b has got you covered. Complete with all of the necessary ski features, the Supremacy II has everything you need (and more). Top tip – to remain snug on the slopes, go up one size so you can wear some thermals underneath.
ROXYwww.roxy-uk.co.uk
If there's anyone you can trust when it comes to ski gear, it's two-time Olympic gold medallist, Chloe Kim. Incorporating ROXY hydro-smart technology and sensational waterproofing, this jacket is perfect for downpours and heavy snow.
