Musings on Men’s Fashion – What to wear to the slopes

Skiing! The puffy pristine snow, hot coco in the log cabin, exponential increases in downhill speeds: who doesn’t enjoy a trip to the mountains? We all look forward to skiing holidays (or wish we could afford them), but even though you might be taking a white vacation from the daily grind, that doesn’t mean you can to take a holiday from dressing to impress.

When you’re out there on the slopes, be sure all your attire (hat, scarf, jacket, etc.) works together as an ensemble. Don’t wear yellow snow pants with a pair of tie-dye gloves or else a Yeti, driven by bile, might attack. As for the trendy stuff ready for consumption this year, fur is pretty much a big no-no (what with the success of PETA et. al’s marketing campaigns) but faux-fur is smiled upon for once.

Designers like Patagonia and Gorsuch included several snazzy parkas and fleeces in their collections this year. Nylon vests have also made a comeback – even Prada has a few in the works for the coming season. As for footwear, Uggs have hit the market with new, ski-friendly designs that both men and women can enjoy. Whatever the case, be sure to look hot and also stay warm!
