Hitting the slopes..

After a quick skiing trip, i’m back…But naturally it was all in the name of this blog.

Pyrenees

Slope Fashion

When people think of Barcelona, they think chic, colourful fashion.

And you wouldn’t be disappointed. The Pyrenees are choc a block full of cool spaniards donning a myriad of colours.

Rule of thumb: The more colourful the better. In fact, garish is a skier’s dream!!

SKI FASHION:

Flourescent pink trousers

All in one white suit covered in multicoloured swirls

Oh and my favourite – A zebra print ski jacket. Divine.

Don’t get me started on the headscarves. They range from the cool to the totally bizarre.

But that’s the point. Anything goes.

It seems the slopes let you free your inhibitions. Clothes wise that is!

However, comfort also matters a great deal. Let me tell you…those ski boots are not comfy. After doing my first run each day, I felt like dying from crippling cramp from doing them up too tight!

But when you get into the swing of things ( and loosen your boots) there is nothing like it. Plus a good pair of apres ski boots will always help!

Helmet wise – you don’t have to, but you should. Better safe than sorry eh?! My helmet is a gorgeous sleek black and gold, with faint fleur de lis panels on each side. When head protection looks that good, you don’t mind!

So if you are thinking of hitting the slopes anytime soon and think you can just chill out in sports gear, you are wrong!

Clothes have never been more important. It’s just another catwalk but you are on a pair of skis!
