Dreaming of the Slopes
Winter has us daydreaming about the slopes again. There's nothing quite like the thrill of soaring down a mountain, the wind whipping through your hair. The exhilarating feeling of gliding through the snow is truly addictive, drawing me back to the ski slopes time and time again.
Ski resorts are opening their gates, letting us know winter has officially arrived. As always, my first thought turns to skiwear. Just like when packing for a trip, the anticipation of a new adventure is often reflected in what we wear. This year, I'm ready for something different. I'm tired of renting ski gear and compromising on style. It's time to invest in my own personal skiwear. You too? Slide down to check out our carefully curated skiwear wishlist!

After scrolling through Pinterest for hours, trying to find the perfect ski outfit, I was obsessed with all the stylish looks I've found. I'm definitely recreating a few of them next time I’m on the mountain if I can. Speaking of photos, have you seen the new trend of taking selfies in your ski goggles? So cute!
Our Skiwear Wish-list
Stand out in the snow with this puffer from MIU MIU

A puffer jacket is more than just outerwear; it's a statement piece. When MIU MIU released their skiwear collection on Mytheresa, I knew I had to have that gray jacket. It was love at first sight. The brand's unique blend of fashion and function, as seen in their FW21 show, perfectly captures the spirit of winter sports. It's no wonder that their skiwear has become so sought-after.
There's something about MIU MIU and skiwear that just clicks. Remember that FW21 show with the models in balaclavas, confidently striding through the snow? The juxtaposition of lingerie and skiwear combined with the pastel color palette was so striking. And knowing that Miuccia Prada herself once skied in a bikini adds an extra layer of romance to the brand's skiwear. It's like stepping into a movie.

It’s all about the gear, PRADA

While most of us start by renting equipment, seasoned enthusiasts eventually need the personalized feel of their own gear. This is especially true for skis, and Prada's latest collaboration with Swiss ski brand Fraction is no exception. The iconic red logo on the plates is a standout feature.
Prada has a long-standing commitment to winter sports, dating back to the 90s when they first started producing ski jackets and suits. Their Linea Rossa line is particularly noteworthy, offering high-performance sportswear that seamlessly blends function with fashion. The signature red line, symbolizing personal bests is sure to inspire you to push your limits on the slopes.

Sportswear Sponsor Influences from BALENCIAGA

Balenciaga's ability to reimagine everyday materials is what sets it apart. This ski turtleneck with its playful graphics and overt branding is a testament to that. While I'm not typically a fan of overt logo-mania, there's something undeniably appealing about sporting a piece that clearly states, 'I invested in this.' I've been a big fan of Balenciaga's skiwear collection since its launch in 2023, and I love how the brand consistently challenges our expectations of sportswear.

Stylish and Form-fitting Skiwear, ZARA

Did we all know that Zara has been a bit of a go-to for skiwear? I always check their annual collections, especially for pieces like goggles and socks.
I'm a fan of fitted skiwear, and these flared pants are right up my alley. I couldn't resist adding them to my cart, and then I stumbled upon this glossy ski jacket that was the exact look I'd been pinning on Pinterest. It's amazing how quickly Zara can replicate runway trends at affordable prices.

You don't always visit the site to buy something either; sometimes I just go to see how they styled their pieces. Their editorials are usually a visual treat, with beautifully styled models and a keen eye for detail. If you're ever stumped on how to style your skiwear or need a winter fashion moodboard, their site is a great source of inspiration.
The highlight piece of your winter look, Chrome Hearts

If I had to choose just one pair of ski goggles it would be Chrome Hearts, without a doubt. The brand's signature edgy aesthetic combined with the gothic cross detailing throughout the goggles is a dream come true for any Chrome Hearts fan. The graphic-printed band and the brown and pink color combo are perfect.
These goggles aren't just stylish; they're also incredibly functional. With Carl Zeiss lenses and a triple-layer foam, they offer superior clarity and fog resistance. It's a splurge, but it's a piece you will use and cherish for years to come.

The essential proper ski jacket, MONCLER

This camel Moncler jacket has completely won me over. Never thought I'd find myself drawn to such a warm, neutral tone, but the longue saison nylon fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable, and the waterproof zipper and hood add the right amount of practicality. The perfect piece for those who want the style without sacrificing the warmth.

Hailing from the French Alps town of Monastier-de-Clermont, Moncler has been synonymous with mountain sports since its founding in 1952. The brand's deep-rooted connection to skiing has made it a timeless icon in the industry.

This season's floral patterns add a playful touch that's hard to resist. Despite their trendy reputation, Moon Boots have a rich history dating back to 1969.
