Ski Fashion according to Cosmo?

Cosmopolitan (UK) posted a list of best women’s ski wear to shop 2019. Some of these items gave me a chuckle. Would you wear any of these?

No. *Maybe* the intarsia sweater for apres, but the rest, no.

I am not going to lie, I loved the neon green ski gloves. I got knit gloves in the exact same color for Christmas this year.

Some of these gave me a good chuckle, too! I could get down with the neon base layers, and I like the look of the camo jacket. A lot of these looks seem more like they're focused on being "a look". A LOT of look, at that

@Pixie Perfect I have very similar gloves for cycling. I got them more for visibility than style but I could definitely go for the neon base layers too. I would wear both sweaters with the stars, but they‘re hardly ski gear. I love the Moncler jacket (£1,690) but I wouldn’t wear it skiing. In my alternative life, where I sit on a terrace drinking champagne, this is the jacket for me.

I would definitely wear the faux fur headband! It looks like onesies are coming back with a bang.

Most of it is not ski gear though, it is fashion. It looks like only a few of the items have what a technical ski wear pieces should have - waterproof zippers, insulation etc. Some of them are fun as fashion choices. Decathlon jacket in the end may be a decent ski jacket if has waterproofing, same with dare2b red ski pants. I liked that they have some plus size ski clothes, I didn't know ASOS carries plus size ski clothes. Those also look like they could be technical ski wear pieces. The black pants and pastel jacket from ASOS look more like normal ski wear.

I love the neon base layers and my 13 year old would adore most of the snow suits!

Fascinating.
Not all the models are emaciated as I expected. Good for Cosmo.
But they are all very young, which I am not.
I try to wear ski clothing that does not call attention to itself because of its flamboyant design.
Most (not all) of this clothing does.

Decathlon is a big a French sports store. They stock gear for every imaginable sport at very reasonable prices. I‘ve bought ski gear for my kids and a variety of sporting goods for myself there -including the neon cycling gloves - and I’ve always been happy with the quality. They usually have goods at a range of price points and that jacket is probably the cheapest and least technical, but I’d say it would be fine for someone who only skis occasionally. Their helmets would also all meet EU standards for ski helmets.

What about the metallic silver onesie with fur trim?

Amazingly I have seen more than one metallic onesie on the slopes of late. I guess space suit looks are trending.

I’m just sitting here imagining what would happen to me if I ran into a tree branch in this £2,260 suit and also how to carry things without unsightly pocket bulges. Then again, the version of me that would wear this probably wouldn’t go tree skiing and may even have a servant following me around carrying my things.

Come on, now. Everyone needs a vinyl padded snowsuit!

There was a girl wearing a metallic silver onesie at Sunday River last week. Other onesies as well. Looks like they are making a comeback!

 

[newboots]

It’s so hard to imagine sweating in something so shiny, and with fur trim all over.

And in most of the others. Can you imagine trying to impress with a chic overpriced metallic number and helmet hair?

 

[MilkyWookiee]

I can't even get past the pants tucked into the boots to look at the outfits. My shins are killing me just looking at it!

For many reasons, I can’t wear that. First, the sleeves are probably not flame retardant. I could catch that sleeve on fire while cooking over an open flame. Second, the zipper looks to be a commercial grade size and is too wide for my figure. Third, the crotch looks like a bit pouchy and I don’t need all the attention that look will bring. I’m just sayin, this outfit is not as functional as it appears.

Shiny and hot. God forbid you’re carrying around popcorn kernels.
