This skirt with this jacket and I would never feel a cold chair again... well maybe only if they are waterproof?

 

[Jilly]

Just no words....

 

[MissySki]

Wow, and I was hoping the Michelin Man look was out for good.. It certainly is for me

Northface has been pairing up with designers prior to this Gucci thing. Here's a jewel designed by Maison Margiela and made by Northface. Want one of these Himalayan Parkas? $1,550.00.
Here it is zipped up for the snug look.

I was thinking that skirt would make for cozy après attire. Imagine being able to hang out, next to a fire, on a comfy armchair, drinking a boozy hot chocolate...with a sleeping bag skirt from your waist down. I could get down with that.

Of course it would be paired with a fleece top and slippers, instead of a blouse and heels.

"11 out of 10 hikers would not take directions from any of these people"
Hahaha. They are more likely to be asking directions from me. Just based on prior experience in the woods coming up on lost city folks, clearly out of their element but doning the hottest gear!
Sorry, but I'll take the Bernie Sanders style with a Burton puffy and cozy mittens. Should I get a tear in them, you won't find me balling my eyes out after having spent $$$$ on the darn things. Some seam grip/tape and I'll be back out there. I've never been one however with the latest style in fashion...

I'd be asleep within 2 minutes with that combination...

This article was just the laugh I needed. Thank you!

I really liked a few of the looks. I hope bold colors and patterns make a comeback in mainstream ski fashion. It not only enhances my people-watching enjoyment but it makes it easier to ski in a group.

I am guessing I will not be seeing any of these looks at a ski area, just like I didn't see anyone wearing Chanel "grunge" styles at rock clubs in the early 90s.

Pretty awful looking ..... but what would amuse me would be to see something like this on a street somewhere to see what sort of human would spend that money to look like that.

I bet if anyone actually ever wears these things, they will be walking the sidewalks of NYC.

A Skhoop down-filled skirt can be bought on ebay or poshmark for less than $1,000.00

Lord, that model looks miserable. But I guess I would, too, if I had to wear that.

Oooh! I always have seen the short skirts....those long ones look cozy!

 

[HikenSki]

I will say that long down skirt would be great for staying cozy around a campfire. I too would probably fall asleep wearing it, hot adult beverage in hand..Not exactly functional for anywhere else tho. Way too warm for inside wear.

That one-piece tho’. The shoes and the handbag just make it even funnier. The styling is 5-year-old-in-the-dressing-up-box crazy, but if you took each item separately, there are some nice pieces. I really liked the floral puffer and skirt but not together. I read something recently about Northface being really popular with cool young people. Apparently Northface puffers are selling for high prices second hand. Who knew?

 

[Getting Ready]

I was teasing my hubs saying I was getting him this for Valentine’s Day https://www.adidas.com/us/prime-cold.rdy-down-parka/FT2426.html
but now you guys have opened up so many other options. How will I decide?

 

[DeeSki]

@Getting Ready that coat is ... confusing ...

I have been looking at them for years. But even the $125 or so that I found on eBay is more than I can justify when I probably should start thinking new boots and always want to play with new skis! Not to mention my money pit which floats on the water in the summer!
