The Most Stylish Plus-Size Ski Jackets for the Wettest Winter Days
No winter wardrobe is complete without a quality coat and accessories like warm hats, cozy scarves and handy gloves, but if you're inclined to jet off on a winter holiday, you'll need a ski jacket made specifically for your outdoor adventures. These duds should be warm—of course—but also water-resistant and windproof to ensure you stay dry and nice and toasty while skiing, snowshoeing, or simply walking through a winter wonderland. Bonus if they also match your ski pants.
Like shopping for a winter coat, if you want a plus-size ski jacket that will hold up to wet conditions, opt for synthetic fillings. Natural down is warmer but unless the outer shell is fabricated to repel water (which many options are now), feathers tend to clump together and thus, take longer to dry. And for you ski bunnies and snowboard enthusiasts, keep an eye out for game-changing details such as powder skirts, roomy hoods (for helmets) and handy pockets for necessities like ski passes and goggles. Here, the best plus-size ski jackets for curvy figures that fit the bill from affordable finds to worthy splurges.
