Hit the Slopes in Style With This Edit of Sleek Ski Gear Essentials
Keep form and function in mind with this edit of sleek ski gear.
Heading to the mountains this winter? More than any other kind of holiday, ski holidays are best when you’ve put in the prep. After all, no one wants to suffer snow blindness or frosty fingers. This means, you’ll need to figure out what your wardrobe is missing. Your typical outdoor gear won’t cut it, as ski wear is purpose-built to block out wind and moisture while giving you the freedom to move. From goggles and gloves to ski jackets and beanies, there’s a lot to consider.
To save you from endless scrolling, we’ve curated the chicest and most functional ski wear for 2025. Whether you’re carving down the slopes or sipping a hot choccy or mulled wine fireside, these stylish picks will have you covered, literally.
Stylish Ski Gear: Outerwear
Ski & Snow Jackets
A proper ski jacket is a non-negotiable. If you’re planning to be out on the slopes, a standard winter jacket won’t cut it. Instead, you’ll need something purpose-made from waterproof or resistant material, pockets (that ski pass won’t keep itself safe!), and a hood that allows for your helmet. You’ll want to size up, too, so you’ve got plenty of room for your different layers.

Ski Pants
The aim of the game when out on the slopes is staying dry yet mobile. But that doesn’t mean you need to get around in baggy pants with no shape. These Rojo pants offer a flattering and snug silhouette with removable suspenders. Looking for something roomier? The North Face’s Descendit Ski Pants are relaxed without being too slouchy.
