Ski gear colors advice!

[brownelb]

When I got my ski gear, I wasn't focused on matching. I don't really want to be "matchy matchy" but I'm also finding that I might be too..."clashy," especially with my recent addition of a bright dusty orange/coral-ish red helmet (I wanted to be easy to pick out in a crowd).

Do you guys think this set of gear looks okay? Or maybe the helmet just doesn't work? Haha.
I wear black mittens and a black turtle fur.

I think this all goes well together! Very sleek looking

 

[MissySki]

^^ Agreed, I like it!

Yes, these clothes and helmet look great together. As for the skis, everybody here told me nobody can see your skis because they're covered with snow. Although they look terrific with your pants!

Now, here at theskidiva.com, we will encourage and indeed, enable you on any purchase of gear or clothing you might plan, want, or even imagine making. Heck, we'll enable to you dream of purchases you don't even want to make!

Definitely feeling the orange and the teal together--I don't know I've seen that anywhere else, looks very nice!

I somehow ended up aqua blue from nearly head to toe, aside from my black pants! My helmet is blue, my jacket blue and white, and my skis blue/white/gray. I didn't quite plan this...

Thanks for the confidence boost, guys! I feel MUCH MUCH better about my orange helmet now, haha. <3

Aqua blue is so fun! I originally ordered an aqua helmet but it didn't fit -- so orange it was! I bet you look awesome!

Good point on the skis. I'll not worry about it! Oh, I'll definitely take you guys up on that new gear-enabling. ;)

Your outfit plays in the area of coral and turquoise ... natural companions in the southwest US.

Beautiful combo!

Very complementary colors! Looks like it was put together by a famous fashion designer ‍. The Helmet gives it a great “pop” of color without being too brash. Good job

Gorgeous combination - zero worries.

I used to be super matchy, but have gone to the dark side lately with my combination - today I was in an orange shell, olive pants, teal helmet and plum purple goggles!

 

[arbusch]

Love it. Trust me the orange helmet will help your family and friends find you on the hill.

I have bright coral pink pants and helmet with a bright blue jacket. Every one loves it because they can always find me.

 

[Tvan]

It's a great combo. I've been skiing in orange Hawaiian print ski pants with a blue jacket and orange helmet. DH likes it because he can find me on the hill.

This may be an over-abundance of caution, but I have only one rule about ski clothing colors: I will never wear a jacket that is white/off-white/grey, or any combination of white with small splashes of dark color (esp combined with a white helmet!) -- too easy to blend into the snow if I end up crashed in deep snow on a poor-visibility day. I tend to think in terms of worst-case scenarios, but I've seen wipe-outs where you could barely see the skier from the lift...

Great outfit, I love the colors. Really sharp. Bonus: Black jacket would go with any other color of pants you might get later on.

Colors of the sunset against the ocean

And someone that loves to take pictures on the snow, I really appreciate people that wear orange. It looks terrific against the snow. Most bright colors do, but there is something about orange (and bright pink) that I really love.

 

[NewEnglandSkier]

I really like the combination of colors!

What....really?
Those colors are awesome together....
Maybe get a color wheel. Lol go enjoy no-Mater what you look like.

 

[WaterGirl]

Maybe get a color wheel.

Did we every have a "color wheel" inspired thread for potential outfits? I have some vague memory or maybe it was in a pants/jacket slut thread, but maybe it would be fun to have a thread for complete outfits. OK so this suggestion sounds so 'girly girl' but really I'm very limited in artistic expressions at work (ultra conservative) and surf (wetsuits are primarily black), equestrian (traditional) so skiing is one place where can have some cheeky color.....
