The North Face x Skims Collab Is Now Available To Shop – And It’s Selling Out In Record Time

It was only a fortnight ago when Skims dropped a collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, the latest designer to join the list of those who have worked with Kim Kardashian's brand (others including Fendi and Swarovski). A lot of the key pieces sold out within hours (although some are still available to shop now), cementing the Dolce collab as yet another successful partnership for Skims. Hot on its heels, however, is a brand new collection from The North Face x Skims, a limited edition offering that's going to get you through the winter.

From its best-selling puffer jackets to a smash hit collaboration with Gucci a few years ago, The North Face is no stranger to the kind of viral fame Skims also enjoys on a regular basis. So, it makes sense that this new collection has delved into The North Face's archive to find some of its most famous designs, which have then been given the Skims treatment – think body-hugging silhouettes, a neutral colour palette and a merging of logos.

There are sleek bodysuits and form-fitting tops, both of which are ideal base layers if you're planning a ski trip (or you just want to protect yourself from freezing temperatures in the coming months), as well as the famous puffer jacket, available in a variety of different shades. There's also joggers, leggings and a host of accessories, all designed to keep you as warm as possible. The hero piece? The down-insulated one piece, boasting that distinctive Skims signature design detail: a cinched waist.

Jens Grede, CEO of Skims, said: 'At Skims, we’re always focused on what’s next and are constantly working to design new solutions for our customers. This collaboration with The North Face allowed us to leverage the brand's heritage expertise and enhance it with our own creative and solutions-based design codes, for one of our most technical collections yet.'

It's true that these are technical pieces which will no doubt be added to the list of the best skiwear available, but they're also clothes which can fit into your daily life as we all face a bitterly cold start to the new year. Just be quick – the collection launches tomorrow, 10th December, and will undoubtedly sell at rapid speed. Those puffers, in particular, will not be on the shelves for long.
