No brand defined the past few ski seasons quite like Perfect Moment. The Chamonix-base label was founded in 1984, but only in the past few years has taken off quicker than a beginner on an icy black. Whether hitting the slopes in Whistler, Verbier or Courchevel, a flurry of Perfect Moment ski suits are bound to whizz past you as you perfect your snow sport skills.
The ubiquity of the star-clad Perfect Moment ski suit has piqued overall interest in the undeniably elegant jumpsuit design. A one-piece is a true fashion statement, worn by those who consider mountain sojourns as an excuse to dress to the nines. Unlike flashing a brand new pair of snazzy Black Crows or Salmon boots, a ski suit doesn’t require excellent sporting ability to match its reputation. Why? Because it's a fun fashion showpiece. Nothing more and nothing less.
Of course, ski suits come with all the technical features and fabrics to make it a solid piece of skiwear. However, the truth is they are far from the most practical item of clothing. Take lunch breaks for example. With a handy pair of salopettes, a quick bathroom dash or vin-fuelled après is a fairly straightforward matter. Ski suits, on the other hand, require a full undressing, which when stuck in sub-zero temperatures, may not be the most tempting of thoughts.
No matter, they still look utterly fabulous. Sported by leading ladies of 20th-century pop culture from Princess Diana to Bridget Jones, various Bond Girls and Lady Gaga (her red patent number in House of Gucci remains firmly etched into our imaginations), the ski suit is the ultimate signifier of the style savant.
The ski suit silhouette has evolved dramatically over the years. Today, we are spoiled for choice with streamlined, aerodynamic designs created by expert brands like Rossignol, Goldberg, Fusalp and Cordova. Technological advancements have enabled designers to enhance the construction of their collections, resulting in steep price tags to match.
This wasn't always the case. The Eighties oversaw a period of voluminous, colourbomb one-pieces as encapsulated most famously by the beloved People's Princess. For those wanting to avoid shelling out, opting for a retro second-hand suit of the aforementioned ilk or renting may be your best bet. High streets brands Superdry, Jack Wills and Topshop also offer punkish designs to shimmy into, minus the need to take your pension out early.
Browse the best ski suits up for grabs and kit yourself out in time for your next devilishly stylish alpine adventure.
