With temperatures starting to drop in our hometown of New York City, here at VMAN, we can’t help but get excited for ski season. The flurries, the heights, and the accessorizing are really what make up the whole experience, but before you jump the gun and book your tickets to Aspen, it’s best to take a moment and think about what you might need before touching down on some fresh, powdery snow.

Skiwear comes in many styles, but if you are leaning towards a serious fashion meets functional side to dressing for the slopes, you’ll need to find pieces that will help you not look bulky but remain waterproof, protective, and just feel *really* good. For our latest digital issue, we’ve rounded up a few of our must-have pieces from the latest ski capsules of the winter collections to show you what to look out for when snagging up a new ski look.
