Matching colors - jackets and pants

[Susan L]

I only have black and navy ski pants because they are easy to match other colors. I received a matching set of jacket and pants for Christmas and am on the fence on how matchy they are! Thoughts?

 

[AJM]

I for one love them !!!

 

[elemmac]

I love them too!

Plus...you don't have to give up your black and navy...mix and match.

I have a full pink suit...bibs and jacket...but I sometimes wear the pink jacket with green pants, pink pants with black jacket. Variety is the spice of life

Orange is one of my favourite colours. Love it!

I think it looks great.

 

[Basil]

I think it looks cute!

 

[cosmicplanks]

On trend. Love the color! I’ll be looking for you this weekend, it’ll be easy to spot you.

I have a salmon colored jacket and pants I got last season and have been enjoying some days of all the same color. Seems to be in currently as I see people doing it a lot lately.

 

[Iwannaski]

I love that color! And, as a bonus, it will look great with black and/or navy for days you aren’t vibing monochromatic.

It doesn’t match the new skis I am picking up this weekend

Not only do I like orange, but I've always liked Oilily clothing colour combinations. In other words orange with pink with red with.... things that are said to clash. Hmmmph. Colour is good. Have fun with it.

Now I'm curious, what skis are you picking up?

 

[Peppermint]

I think the outfit looks great.

I just don’t want to look like a pumpkin

Here are my new skis - have not seen it in person yet! Laser SC

Well, I think that means that you might need to add another pair for the full monochromatic look?

Editing to add, I THEN saw your ski pic and GORGEOUS!!! You’ll look fantastic!

Any more orange I will definitely look like a walking pumpkin!

It's copper, not orange. It picks up the gold labels on the gorgeous skis. Looks fabulous.
Just wondering, what length are your new Laser SCs Orea?

 

[VickiK]

Copper--more muted and earthy than orange but still makes an impression. Beautiful set.

I just looked at the tags - color IS copper

The skis are 156.

 

[scandium]

Simple to solve - copper jacket, black pants, skis.

FWIW, single-tone copper and the black skis will work together as well.

Hmm. Late season 2023 I bought a pair of 21/22 minimally used Laser SCs, 149, to push me toward carving. Prior 10 years I’d been in 154-159 and I was afraid that that length would be “punishing”. It was the narrowest ski I’d been on in decades. I’d heard that ski would be great bumps and carving, and it was fav of Alain’s. I’m 5’5” 140. They hold me in all conditions and are great in bumps, spring soft conditions, but I think I need the extra length to feel stable as I’m still not hanging over on edge. Gotta drill more. I’ve since added a 171/96 to my quiver and like that length for chasing around. I’m gonna push myself a few more times toward carving on the 149s then maybe sell them and move to a slightly longer, narrower ski for carving practice. Let us know how you like on your SCs. They look beautiful and for sure the SC is a versatile ski.
