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.

Superdry

Puffer & Windbreaker Jackets

You’ll also need to add a puffer and/or windbreaker to the packing list for when you’re taking a break from the slopes, ideally with hot chocolate in hand. What to look for? Something toasty and warm with added space for your layers underneath.

Stylish Ski Gear: Warm Layers


Helly-Hansen

Sweaters

Whilst your average sweater can work in a pinch, going for something made predominantly from wool is going to keep you cosiest.

Falke

Baselayers

Layering is key to a comfy day on the slopes and a quality baselayer is going to be a game changer. Look out for merino wool options. This moisture-wicking material will ensure any sweat is absorbed without staying wet.

Stylish Ski Gear: Accessories


Celine

Goggles

Pretty self-explanatory, ski googles are another non-negotiable. When searching for the perfect pair, you’ll want to ensure they offer 100% UV protection alongside a comfortable and adjustable strap. Just like a pair of sunglasses, they’re worth the investment.

Balaclavas

Aside from being one of our favourite accessories of the moment, balaclavas protect the head, neck and face from wind, sun and snow. They’re also great for popping on under a ski helmet.

Socks

A good pair of ski socks is going to support your ankles, provide some cushioning and, of course, keep your feet toasty.

Patagonia

Mitts

Waterproof and windproof, mittens are a ski holiday essential. It’s worth investing in a quality pair that is lightweight and dextrous. Look for pull loops for easy removal and clips or cords for fastening.

Perfect Moment

Beanies & Earmuffs

A good beanie is worth its weight in gold but luckily, you don’t have to shell out bucketloads if you don’t want to. This Le Bent bobble hat is perfect for something simple whilst this Perfect Moment beanie is our pick for a ski season splurge.
