As every seasoned skier knows, eyewear is your unwavering ally. Whether sunny skies or snow squalls, find wraparound sunglasses and goggles for every fluctuation, with features such as anti-fog and glare-resistant polarised lenses created for maximum UV protection. For your next accessory, wrap up in resilient, windproof gloves in ripstop nylon, GORE-TEX and leather – or opt for a pair of mitts if you’re looking for additional warmth when the temperature really drops.

While a pair of hiking boots might work for lower resorts late in the season, most mountain destinations require something sturdier and truly snowproof. Key details to look out for include shearling linings, seam-sealed constructions, vulcanized rubber toe caps and gripped soles to tackle icy paths. Then, consider a beautiful pair of gloves – a well-made style in soft leather will only get better with wear – and finish with woolly socks, balaclavas and scarves to stay toasty, no matter the temperature.
