Topshop

This oversized denim jacket-style ski coat is from high street favourite Topshop. The fabric is water repellent and moisture wicking, so any tumbles in the snow shouldn’t leave you feeling wet and miserable. The huge pockets mean you can take the essentials with you while you hit the slopes. Best of all, you can chuck it in the washing machine.

A dash of neon brightens up this otherwise subtly hued choice and, of course, helps with visibility when it’s dark.
