The Ski Travel Edit: 2026 Trendy Ski Outfits

Gone are the days of baggy, shapeless, or simply “not cute” feminine ski outerwear. Today, everyday brands are taking high-end ski fashion to a more accessible level without sacrificing functionality.

Whether you’re planning a luxury ski trip or just refreshing the ski outfit you’ve had for years, 2025/2026 is all about ski gear that is both stylish and practical. Let’s dive into some of the season’s trendiest ski outfits, layering tips, and shopping strategies so you can look amazing on the slopes.

Ok, so you are looking for cute ski outfits for your next ski trip, or just looking to refresh that ski outfit you’ve had for years. Lucky for you, in recent years, brands are stepping up to provide functional, feminine, ski gear that won’t cost you thousands of dollars.

Disclaimer: just because this article is titled “affordable”, doesn’t mean everyone will agree that the pricing equates to affordable. They are listed as affordable, solely in comparison to large brand ski apparel companies.

Also, hi there! My name is Sydney and welcome to my blog, The Après Society! I cover a variety of travel and skiing related topics, as these are my passions in life, and I am so excited and fulfilled to be writing about them. I hope this blog makes your life just a little bit better either with travel hacks, outfit inspiration, or just pure entertainment.

Why Functionality Still Matters

Before we get into brands and trends, let’s talk functionality. As someone who competitively ski raced for 15 years, I can tell you that style alone won’t cut it if your gear doesn’t perform. You want to look polished without freezing, slipping, or dealing with annoying snow getting inside your jacket.

Key functionality tips for ski gear:

• Fit over boots: Snow pants must fit comfortably over your ski boots. Nothing screams “newbie” like pants tucked awkwardly inside.
• Internal snow guards: A good jacket and pants combo will prevent snow from sneaking in, even if you take a tumble in deep powder.
• Pockets, pockets, pockets: Your phone, ski pass, chapstick, and snacks all need secure spots. Zippered pockets are non-negotiable.
• Layering: Base layers are critical for warmth and flexibility. Think thermal tops, merino wool, or Primaloft® layers.

Looking good on the slopes doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort or performance – 2025/2026 ski gear proves it.

So, without further ado, let me walk you through some of my favorite picks for this year’s trendy ski collections:

Bo & Tee 2025 Ski Collection

I purchased Bo & Tee’s ski collection last year skeptical on the quality as they are marketing themselves, in my opinion, as “Instagram Baddie”, and the epitome of a “trendy ski outfit”, but let me say, I was pleasantly surprised by the functionality and quality. Here’s why their ski collection has my approval:

1. The snow pants fit over ski boots (no ski pants tucked into boots, PLEASE, ladies). In addition, they have zippers at the base of the snow pants for adjustments
2. There’s an internal snow guard waistband along with plenty of pockets. The additional waist band makes sure you don’t get snow up inside you jacket, even when it’s the deepest powder days, or when you take a tumble. Pockets for your phone, ski pass, chapstick are also important.
3. Last but not least, zippered pockets. A MUST for any ski jacket. You don’t want your phone or pass falling out.

Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of fabrics, warmth, and functionality of Bo & Tee’s ski products and would recommend to any girlie looking for a cute, trendy ski outfit.

Styling tip: Pair Bo & Tee pants with a fitted, insulated mid-layer in a neutral tone to balance the bright colors or go for a monotone look!

OYSHO 2025 Ski Collection

OYSHO is less known in the U.S., but their ski collection is a hidden gem. This brand delivers quality without a designer price tag, offering warm fabrics like Primaloft® and thoughtful design features.

Top features:

• Primaloft® insulation: Lightweight yet incredibly warm, perfect for powder days.
• Slim-fit jackets: Flattering without restricting movement.
• Coordinated sets: Jackets and pants designed to match, making outfit planning effortless.

OYSHO’s aesthetic leans modern and minimal, often using muted tones with subtle pops of color. This makes them perfect for skiers who want elegance over flashy patterns.

Styling tip: OYSHO’s neutral palettes pair beautifully with colorful accessories. Think a bold hat or patterned gloves to add personality.

Halfdays 2025 Ski Collection

Halfdays, a female-owned Denver-based brand, combines timeless ski essentials with modern style. While slightly pricier than Bo & Tee or OYSHO, their pieces are made to last, making them an investment worth considering.

Why I love Halfdays:

• High-quality fabrics that hold up season after season.
• Classic silhouettes with trendy updates. Perfect for skiers who want a chic, classic look.
• Thoughtful design features: zippered pockets, adjustable hoods, and reinforced cuffs.

Their jackets are versatile enough to wear both on and off the slopes, making them ideal for après-ski events or resort strolls.

Styling tip: Pair a Halfdays jacket in ivory or soft grey with black snow pants for a timeless look. Add a matching knit beanie for cozy elegance.

Don’t Count out Amazon

Believe it or not, Amazon has some surprisingly stylish and functional ski options. One standout is GSOU Snow, a brand that balances affordability, functionality, and trendiness. Many of their items are inspired by high-end designers like Goldbergh, but at a fraction of the price.

GSOU Snow highlights:

• Wide variety of prints and colors.
• Warm fabrics with waterproof features.
• Trendy cuts that flatter the figure.

If you want to try a designer-inspired look without the high cost, GSOU Snow is a reliable option for 2025/2026.

How to Layer Like a Pro

Layering is essential for warmth and comfort. Here’s a simple guide:

Tip: Layering isn’t just functional! It’s an opportunity to mix colors, textures, and patterns to create a fashionable ski outfit.

Color Palettes That Are Trending Right Now in Ski Fashion

When it comes to ski outfits, color can transform your look just as much as silhouette or layering. Also, if you are reading this, I KNOW you are a fashion girly 🙂 so here’s what’s trending this ski season.

This season, ski style is moving beyond basic blacks and reds, and fashion-forward skiers are opting for palettes that feel modern, elevated, and surprisingly versatile!

1. Winter Neutrals

Neutral tones are the quiet luxury of ski fashion, and I know you want to come off as “quiet luxury.” I mean… how wouldn’t?

Think creams, off-whites, taupes, and soft greys, aka colors that feel rich without being loud. These are easy to mix and match, making them perfect for creating a chic capsule wardrobe that transitions from the lift to lunch effortlessly. Neutral ski looks also photograph beautifully on snowy backdrops, which is why they’re so popular on Instagram and Pinterest right now. Hello, Pinterest inspo!

2. Earthy & Natural Tones

Rooted in the “mountain lifestyle meets atelier” trend, earthy palettes add warmth to your winter wardrobe. Sage green, mocha brown, charcoal, and muted clay are big this year. They echo nature while still feeling surprisingly polished. These tones work especially well in technical layers and shearlings, giving a refined, intentional look on the slopes!

3. Soft Pastels

Pastels are shaking up ski fashion this season in a big way. Powder blue, blush pink, and lilac bring a fresh, youthful energy to the mountain. These colors pair beautifully with crisp white or cream accents, making pastels a fun but still elevated choice for skiwear. I have been wearing an all light pink ski outfit recently and have been getting a ton of compliments on the mountain!

Classic Contrast: Black & White

While neutrals and pastels rise, you can never go wrong with the timeless contrast of black and white. Sleek black base layers with crisp white shells (or vice versa) feel both sharp and luxurious. They’re especially popular for statement outerwear pieces.

Ski Shopping Tips for 2025/2026

1. Timing is everything: Shop off-season sales in spring or early fall for the best prices.
2. Try before you buy: If possible, test jackets and pants for mobility and comfort.
3. Don’t overlook online: Amazon, brand websites, and luxury discount retailers often have hidden gems.
4. Mix high and low: Pair a designer jacket with more affordable pants, or vice versa, to save money while looking polished.

Final Thoughts

The 2025/2026 ski season is all about merging fashion with function, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice style for performance. Brands like Bo & Tee, OYSHO, Halfdays, and GSOU Snow show that trendy ski outfits can be both functional and affordable, giving you options for every type of skier – from powder enthusiasts to resort cruisers.
