Skiing? Snowboarding? Snow angels? Or just like looking good sitting in the lodge? Here are my favorite ski and snowboard fashion trends plus the cool gear to enjoy a winter getaway. With El Nîno hitting the west coast the forecast calls for lots of snow so there’ll be plenty of opportunity to hit the slopes this season.
Ski and Snowboard Fashion Trends
Women’s Snow Style
Snow shoeing, skiing, snowboarding, or cross-country skiing? You choose, but look stylish while doing it. When I found Fera, I found a collection that looked good from the slopes to the lodge. The Jen Insulated Ski Parka ($275) from FeraStyle.com has a detachable hood and the Montage Zipneck Ski Sweater ($150) could not be more PERFECT a sporty winter getaway with the graphic image of skiing swooshing down slopes. And if you really want to look fashionably coordinated then check out these multicolor Salomon skis from REI.

Layer up for a day in the snow with a puffy jacket, fleece zip up jacket and even add in a workout top that wicks away moisture so your stay warm, but dry. These items from Burlington and the boots and ski goggles are from REI.
Men’s Snow Gear
Go bold! Wear brights on the slopes when you swoosh by your friends and yell, “See you at the bottom.” They’ll be able to spot you in the stylish outerwear from Fera. The men’s Davos ski parka and Fera ski pants ($165) come in long, regular and short.
If you want an intense workout at a slower pace, then snow shoeing can burn about 500-1,000 calories per hour especially when you have poles to get your arms working too. That deserves a hot toddy as a reward afterwards. Snow shoes from REI. Grey men’s puffy jacket, sweater and shirt from Burlington.
Snow Gear For Kids
The 3-in-1 jacket ($56) from The Children’s Place is their warmest all-weather jacket that works triple duty. Wear the outer water resistant shell with the inner fleece liner jacket for the slopes or snow boarding and wear the pieces separately when the elements are tamer. The pink helmet ($75) is from REI as well as the pink and white patterned girl’s skis from Rossignol.
The 3-in-1 jacket from The Children’s Place is also available for boys. I dig the DUDE hat too. The Rossignol skis are available at REI.
Accessories
The Berna Muffler Bag ($249) is an incredible piece from Patricia Nash Designs to bring along on a winter weekend getaway. You get the ease of a cross body leather bag with the addition of a fur muffler to keep your hands warm while you head to the lodge to meet friends for drinks by the fire. For guys, the Tuscan Backpack ($298) is the ideal bag for vacations to business trips.
