Luxury ski wear brands: Designer snow boots, jackets and one pieces to keep you stylish on the slopes

The chalet is booked and the ski passes are in the post. But let's face it, without one hell of a stylish get up, there's snow chance you'll be hitting the slopes. So where to begin the search?

Sourcing genuinely stylish, high-performance ski wear can often feel as insurmountable as the most devilish of black runs. And for those of us who like to peacock on the slopes, finding an outfit that’s not being worn by half of the mountain's inhabitants can feel trickier than getting a table at La Soucoupe.

But fear not, for below we've rounded up a bevvy of lesser-known brands so chic not only will you be the best dressed at après, but you’ll be tempted to stick in your ski kit for dinner.

Perfect Moment rigorously tests its activewear to ensure optimal athletic performance and an exceptional fit. Extreme sports documentary-maker Thierry Donard launched the Chamonix-based brand over a decade ago with skiwear at the forefront. The line has since evolved to include surf, swim and workout staples plus men’s and kid’s collections. Counting fans like Kate Middletons amongst its ranks, the new collection is a delightfully colourful one full of houndstooth patterns and rainbows.

The idea for Cordova struck when Jane and Cody Seim married on the mountain slopes of Sun Valley, Idaho, in 2014. After delving into the history of ski fashion, they launched a collection of tailored snow-ready suits inspired by the ‘70s. We are loving the seriously extra shearling-sleeved ‘Chamonix’ onesie.

Sweaty Betty

Designed to be figure flattering with waist-cinched ski jackets in fun retro styles, we’re big fans of this blue all in one which is giving us Princess Diana vibes.

French brand Fusalp was created in 1952 when it launched the first technical ‘fuseau’ ski stirrup pants that would revolutionise skiwear. Adopted by ski champions in the 1960s, Fusalp’s signature silhouettes combine French elegance with a sporty and slender cut. If baggy trousers are not your bag, Fusalp could be the one for you.

While Shackleton isn't technically ski wear per se, their chic menswear is designed to withstand even the harshest of climates. Inspired by polar explorer Ernest Shackleton (whose granddaughter gave the brand her blessing), everything in their extreme-weather range is designed to keep you warm and stylish - even when the temperature drops below zero. With plush sweaters ideal for layering and down-based performance gear to help you battle the cold, they're classic pieces you'll want to hang on forever.

Born in the 70s and, for the most part, banished to the attic of the ski chalet in the 90s, Moon Boots have made a major comeback in recent years. Not convinced? Take a look at the totally revamped collection they just dropped for autumn/ winter 2018 and you might just change your tune. The extensive and impressive selection of rainbow colours, metallics, shearling, embroidery and sequins means there's something for everyone. They've even reworked the classic shapes into more streamlined styles for an 'urban' collection that would look equally at home on the pavement as the piste.
