Going down in style…

With our Blog Ambassador recently writing from Cerro Bayo Patagonia and our office soon to become A Little Slice of Iceland we’re feeling unusually wintry at Black Tomato. With that in mind, we thought we’d flag one of our downhill favourites. Hakuba Valley in Japan is definitely one of the hottest (or should that be coolest) ski destinations this season. And though Christmas is still a ways away, we’re already in the seasonal giving spirit. What’s on offer you ask? Oh just £200 to put towards your winter wardrobe. With our help you’ll certainly look good when you hit the slopes.

So, what’s the latest look on the ski run(way)? The neutral colours of the past seasons have been left behind with the new bold mix of clashing colours coming to the fore. The trend is the combination CMYK – that’s cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). Now, they might just sound like your printer cartridge colours but CMYK coloured ski suits are certain to be springing up in resorts everywhere. So that’s the outerwear, how about the après-ski attire? Well thankfully the 80’s turtleneck and the less than attractive ‘long Jon’ are…long gone. The under-clothes need to be at once practical and chic for the all-important transition from piste to bar. So why not try black metallic leggings teamed with oversized knitwear. With this look you are guaranteed to be hot on the slopes in both senses of the word.
