If your favourite hobby is perusing the 'new in' section of Zara, you may have seen the brand's latest Zara skiwear collection landing on the site. So, if your other hobby is going skiing or snowboarding at this time of year, then you'll be very pleased indeed. It includes thermal snow jackets, which all have built-in RECCO technology (to make it easier for you to be rescued in the event of an accident), snow boots to match and loads of other après ski-worthy pieces.
And on the subject of safety, there is also a pair of 100% UV-protected goggles, as well as lightweight helmets. But back to the clothes. If your mountain vibe is a one-piece, then you'll be interested in the Windproof Ski Suit. Or how about the effortlessly stylish black dungarees? As well as being fully windproof and waterproof, they provide thermal comfort in temperatures as low as -16ºC.
Excited for après ski with a cup of hot chocolate or mulled wine by a log fire? Then of course Zara has all the pieces. From a cable knit jumper dress to roll neck tops – you'll be able to cleverly layer under your special ski gear so you're ready for these activities, too.
Keep scrolling to see – and shop – the new Zara skiwear collection. And now we all need to book a wholesome snowy holiday escape ASAP.
