Whether you're a certified snow bunny - or someone who prefers to snow-plough their way down the nursery runs - no one can resist the siren call of looking good on a ski slope. Put simply, perfecting your parallel turn might be your primary goal, but christening fresh powder in a killer outfit has got to be a close second.
The fashion editor's go-to for alpine adventures is Perfect Moment, the performance sportswear brand that has made a name for itself as the gold standard when it comes to marrying function with fashion nous. For this ski season, it's partnered with BOSS, another brand who knows the power of the athleisure aesthetic, on a 23-piece collection of stand-out ski jackets, ski pants, all-in-one ski suits, salopettes, knitwear, base layers and accessories. From the first chairlift of the day to the final run home - not forgetting the all-important après-ski - BOSS x Perfect Moment, available from today in-store and online, will definitely make a statement on the slopes.
A stand-out are the flared all-in-one ski suits, one of which is printed with the combined logos of both brands which, from afar, looks like the sharpest of checks. If you're more of a minimalist, it also comes in black (with cream and beige accents on the cuffs and hems) or a look-at-me tangerine that will ensure your friends don't lose you on the side of a mountain.
'This collection is for the Moment Makers - those who are seeking out unique, authentic experiences on and off the slopes, and who want to look and feel great in the process,' says Jane Gottschalk, creative director of Perfect Moment.
When it's time to peel off your ski jacket and sip a well-earned beer, the collection also has the best knitwear and base layers in the business. There's a great selection of polo neck jumpers that will keep your neck cosy at high altitude. My favourite is the beige, black and cream style logoed with BOSS. Whether you mix the collection in with your existing wardrobe of high street ski wear or wear it top-to-toe, you're guaranteed to be the best dressed.
