The 2014 Holiday Gift Guide for Women Who Love Ski Fashion (Giveaway)

November 24, 2014 by braveskimom

christmas gifts for ski moms
What’s going to be under your tree?

braveskimom logoLast Friday’s gift guide featured everything from a handmade hickory bicycle to bamboo ski poles, as well as a gift card giveaway from Heather Rogers Designs.

Today, I focus on women’s ski and winter clothing. It’s the perfect “hint, hint” post – as in “Hint, hint, Honey. Santa can bring me any of these…”

Sweaty Betty: Bold Designs, Solid Construction

Sweaty Betty’s Mountain Climber Ski Merino Knit Top and Legging. New to the U.S, Britain’s Sweaty Betty offers high-end, technical running, yoga, workout, swim and ski clothes.

sweaty betty base layers and sweaters
A fun look at several of the different base and mid layer designs from Sweaty Betty. If you like these, check out their ski coats and pants!

Infused with an offbeat sense of design and creative use of color, these wool layers are my new favorites. Made of double-weight, super soft merino wool (with a touch of Lycra), the Mountain Climber Ski Sweater is street worthy with jeans, skirts and boots. Even my sons like the skier motif.

sweaty betty ski sweaters and leggings
Beautiful, luxurious mid layers from Britain’s Sweaty Betty.

The Mountain Climber leggings are like no other leggings I’ve tried.

Thick enough to pair with an après skirt for cross-country skiing, they are so comfy you might never want to take them off. Ski in them, run in them, lounge in them, I think I might even sleep in them when its super cold, or I’m napping on the couch. These aren’t your average base layers, but more like a beautiful sweater, for your legs. 

Mountain Khakis: Practical Streetwear with Western Flair (Giveaway Details Below)

I’m no cowgirl, but I do love my new flannel shirt and fleece sweater from Mountain Khakis. Styled with just the right amount of western flair, I can channel my inner range-rider while looking comfortably casual at home.

Cache Creek Flannel Shirt: Super soft, rosy flannel makes me reach for this shirt whenever I feel a chill in the air. But my favorite detail is the floral print lining at the collar and cuffs which makes it unmistakably feminine.

A curved front and back yoke, whose lines are echoed in the front patch pockets, provide solid style, while the coordinating white stitching and buttons bring our the variations in the flannel fabric.

Old Faithful Sweater: A favorite from last season, Mountain Khakis is offering this sweater in two new colors this season: eggplant and oatmeal (yum, yum!).

Made of fleece, cleverly woven to look like a wool sweater, the Old Faithful is layer I reach for constantly, when I’m staying indoors or heading out.

Super warm, it layers well, and the black collar and cuff lining dresses it up. But my favorite detail? Buffalo Nickel buttons on the sleeves.

FERA: Flattering Ski Clothes, From Outerwear to Baselayers

A family run company from Hong Kong,my sister-in-law introduced me to FERA several years ago. This season, I tried several products from their extensive line. Well made, with classic designs and tailoring, these are flattering and functional ski clothes.

Please note, while I’ve included links to the FERA website, most of their sales are via retailers.

Lucy Pants: FERA started with stretch pants, and while they’ve left those days behind, their current ski pants line up is solid, clean and modern. I tried the Lucy pants, and found them as comfortable and flattering as well-fitting jeans. No slouch, just solid, classic tailoring and warm insulation.

Etna Jacket: A technical jacket with all the features you want (pit zips, RF ticket pocket, interior pocket, powder skirt, adjustable cuffs, detachable hood and weather-stopping construction), the Etna jacket builds on FERA’s reputation for tailored, slimming looks. The jacket fits slim, so I went up a size to leave room for bulky midlayers. Available in solid colors with contrasting reflective trim, I’m in love with the Cerulean blue.

Postcard and Kiss Me Sweaters: FERA’s sweater line is extensive, many with really cute alpine and Nordic designs. And while I’d happily wear all of them, my favorites this season are the Postcard Sweater and the Kiss Me Sweater.

An updated take on vintage ski style, the Postcard Sweater features a fun ski girl photo. The Kiss Me sweater is a bit more subtle, with a cute XOXO motif highlighted by an alpine flower. Both sport flat seams in contrasting colors and are made of lightweight, warm merino blend that washes up really well.

Soul Seamless Long Sleeve Crew: A base layer that is too cute cover up, I like the two-toned gray weave, the stretchy material and the side panel ruching, which flatters everyone. Good for skiing, running, yoga or just zipping around town.

    • braveskimom says

      December 1, 2014 at 7:38 am

      The sweater is so ridiculously soft (as are the leggings…) and double weight. It’s amazing quality.

  33. Lisa Garner says

    November 30, 2014 at 7:02 pm

    They have great winter styles. I like the Women’s Granite Creek Windshirt.

    • braveskimom says

  36. kristie says

    • braveskimom says

  37. Paulette Karolczak says

  41. Saralynns2 says

    December 1, 2014 at 5:23 am
