Ski fashion trends have gone through some big changes over the last century. When skiing was first introduced to the world, it was for a very select few. All of the top designers were restricted by the limited number of ski resorts that would let their names be used in any type of clothing. The trend changed dramatically after World War II when skiing became popular among the general population. The ski industry boomed and a variety of new manufacturers was invited to take part in the growing industry.
Skiing was no longer just for the rich and famous. It was more of an activity that anyone could do, and even more so when they had access to better equipment. Because of this, manufacturers began to make clothing for the skiers that were meant to be comfortable and to keep them warm on cold slopes. Over time, ski pants began to take on a style of their own. Today’s ski pants are stylish, useful, and even fashionable.
Ski goggles have always been considered an important piece of ski clothing. Initially, ski goggles were made from hard plastic and created a sort of “hockey mask” look that helped to protect the eyes from snow, wind, and other flying debris. Wind tunnels were built so that skiers wouldn’t be blinded by the brightness of the sun while skiing. Today, ski goggles have undergone a tremendous transformation. Users can choose from different types of gel lenses and prescription lenses, and skiers can choose from various colored and patterned goggles.
