Going green!
From acid green onesies to fuchsia jackets, skiwear is all about bold colours this season, writes PRUDENCE WADE
WHO knew the latest trend in skiwear would actually be geared towards safety?
This season, the key looks for slope style are all about bright, highlighter colours.
Not only do these popping shades look amazing, but wearing them means you stand out on the mountain, making it far less likely someone will crash into you.
Many of us are understandably wary of following trends in skiwear – after all, pieces tend to be expensive and you only really wear them once a year.
However, the trend for bright colours and acid tones feels a bit different – they might be bold, but that doesn’t mean they’ll go out of style anytime soon.
If you want to go bright when you hit the slopes this season – as well as completing your outfit with fashionable thermal layers and accessories – here are some of our top picks...
ONE-PIECES
THE late Princess of Wales has always been a style icon, and now in 2020 she’s become our ultimate inspiration for skiwear.
A keen skier, Princess Diana was regularly photographed in eye-catching outfits (see above) on the slopes in the late Eighties and early-Nineties.
She consistently wore brightly coloured one-pieces which nowadays can only be described as retro fabulous – and her trademark style has been getting a modern update.
One-pieces are hugely popular; they look good and mean you don’t have to faff about with salopettes and a coat. Instead, you can just slide into your onesie and you’re ready to hit the powder, which is a bonus if you’ve slept in after a bit too much apres-ski.
Go for bright pinks or purples to channel Diana, or the brighter options are highlighter yellows and acid greens.
