Every winter in Japan, thousands head to the snow for a spot of skiing or snowboarding on some of the best slopes in the world. For the fashion-conscious, style is just as important as skill and fashionable snow gear is becoming an important part of the winter wardrobe. Catering to demand, designer boutiques and chain stores carry a huge range of trendy ski and snowboarding wear.
This season, stand out on the slopes in bright fruity colours or strike an elegant figure in subtle mineral or pastel shades. Snow wear in stretchy fabrics that follow the contours of the body cut a more streamlined silhouette than the bulky gear of old.
Look for outfits that combine fashion with function such as waterproof wear, seamless suits or styles with internal pockets for all your bits and pieces. For those on a budget, head to variety stores or the many fantastic recycled clothing shops around Japan to find some cool ski wear at affordable prices. The idea is to look good both on and off the slopes.
