Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that skiing is the chicest form of exercise. And with that, comes the need to pack accordingly.
Before jetting off your chosen resort, be it Val d'Isere or Vail, one must carefully curate their snow-ready attire. Unlike a weekend beach jolly, a ski trip is no time to pack light. Think gloves, goggles, helmets, neck warmers - even poles for those who want the works.
Take it from the pros. Kendall Jenner is rarely seen without her Y2K shades when gallivanting in Aspen while on the border, Victoria Beckham clung to her Chanel on the lifts in Whistler. Novices fear not, as a great outfit can also detract from the fact that you never made it past the pizza stage of skiing.
Thankfully, there are plenty of brands to take your skiwear arsenal up a notch. From classics like Helly Hansen and The North Face to cult favourites such as Perfect Moment and Arc’teryx, discover the best ski accessories below.
