Here’s where to shop the best kids’ ski jackets, salopettes, base layers and accessories this season.
Toastie
For the best baby skiwear our first stop is Toastie. The quilted snowsuits are fleece-lined and waterproof making them ideal for cold weather and the perfect first ski suit. They’re thoughtfully designed with a double zip to make changes quick and easy, essential when temperatures drop. What sets them apart is the aesthetic – dreamy colourways, muted florals and charming, unique prints, with detachable fur trims or cute animal ears making them feel special. Not just practical.

Complete the look with matching gloves, socks, very cool ski goggles and fun character ski helmet covers. Ideal for coaxing reluctant little skiers out into the snow.

For affordable yet stylish kids ski (and après ski) looks, Zara delivers. Its kids’ ski collection combines playful design with technical features including windproof finishes, water resistance and thermal insulation. We’re very much into the new monochrome polka dot children’s ski collection – ideal for parents to want high style without the quite so premium price tag and a strong option for growing children who may only get one seasons wear.

As you’d expect from a brand like Bobo they’re also designed for practicality and comfort. Fashion still means function. Matching jackets and gloves are available too.
