Where to Buy Vintage Ski Clothing

Why would anyone want to wear vintage ski clothing? Well, vintage apparel is trending, so there's no surprise that some skiers are looking to deck out in retro ski wear, too.

Rocking a bright, neon ski-suit can be a great conversation starter at the apres-ski bar. Also, some ski resorts host "retro ski days" where you can score a discounted lift ticket if you show up in vintage ski wear.

Here's a look at skiing in vintage ski clothes, including what to wear and where to shop.

Can You Ski in Vintage Ski Clothing?

A word of warning: vintage ski gear isn't necessarily your best bet for function. Over time, the features necessary to keep you warm and dry - like waterproof fabric coating, windproof fibers, and insulation - wear out over time. Not to mention, each year ski wear technology improves significantly, so when skiing in vintage gear, you'll be behind the times in more ways than one.

But, that's not to say you can't swap out "function" for "fun" every now and then. If you're looking for a funny ski outfit, look no further with these awesome stores, where you can buy hilarious vintage ski clothing.
