The skiing 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 snow-ready boots. Oh, and don't forget your 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 Boot is currently having a moment, taking you seamlessly from the chair lift to chalet, whilst outdoor brands The North Face and Moncler have you covered for puffers.
For salopettes and ski trousers try Perfect Moment for a luxury moment, or Zara's new skiwear collection if you're after something a little more budget-friendly. Even Aldi, yes, the supermarket, is getting in on the affordable skiwear hype.
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 on your next ski holiday. You'll be up in that mountain air in no time.
