Luxury ski travel provider VIP SKI has reintroduced its iconic ski persona quiz, offering a fun way for winter holidaymakers to explore their on-slope fashion identity.
As the ski season gets underway, the slopes are alive with diverse styles and trends. Some experts suggest that, on the slopes, “you are what you wear.”
With vibrant colours like sunshine yellow dominating this season’s palette and 90s houndstooth patterns returning in full force, the winter of 2024/2025 is shaping up to be a stylish spectacle. But does your outfit match your expertise? VIP SKI’s quiz is here to help you find out if you’re a fashionable novice or a seasoned pro.
Nicola Hardy, Associate Director of Marketing at VIP SKI, explained: “It’s fascinating to see how ski fashion trends change year on year and how the tech continues to evolve to better the ski experience.
“A ski holiday is accessible to all levels and abilities but there is no harm in feeling you look the part. Our quiz is a light-hearted way of reminding people you don’t have to be a pro to sport the best looks. Whether you are a skiing old-timer or new to the sport, if your outfit gives you the confidence to hit the slopes it was worth it.”
With your ski persona defined, VIP SKI has shared top fashion tips to ensure you look your best on the slopes this season.
The 90s Revival
Retro is back in a big way, with vibrant puffer jackets, flared trousers, and bold prints like houndstooth making their return. Expect to see slopes filled with nostalgic styles echoing this summer’s high-street trends.
Sustainability in Style
Eco-friendly fabrics are leading the charge, as more skiers opt for recycled and plant-based materials. Sustainable ski wear is not only practical but also cutting-edge in style.
Bright Colours Steal the Show
This winter, it’s all about bold, single-tone outfits in colours like electric blue, sunshine yellow, and vivid orange. These bright hues ensure you stand out while enhancing visibility.
Futuristic Vibes
For those who prefer forward-looking fashion, metallic finishes and tonal reds are dominating the après-ski scene, delivering a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Stylish Technical Accessories
Practicality meets style with oversized goggles, heated gloves, and mirrored face masks. These accessories bring high-tech innovation and bold designs to the slopes.
Fashion expert Oriona Robb added: “This year we are leaning into the future, with sleek metallics and deep reds, offering a modern edge to classic ski wear. With the resurgence of monochromatic looks, we can be sure to see bold head-to-toe colour schemes that are both striking and sophisticated hitting the slopes in 2024.
“Winter 2024/5 is all about making a statement. In accessories, we see oversized hats, scarves, goggles to add personality to any outfit. And of course, retro-inspired patterns, think bold stripes, vintage-inspired colour blocking, and a nod to the classics.”
