Ski Wear
By Dianne Barry
Soft, shiny shockingly colorful fabrics make skiing a
smashing sport this season. Bright green, purple, orange and
yellow join a traditional list to color the skier from head to
foot.
liven ski hoots, once only available in black, now come in a
variety of bright colors.
Ski boots have shied away from the foam liner that came
to be as independable as Nebraska weather. The firm Nordica
now offers a putty ski boot in a synthetic foam material that
molds itself to the foot.
New in total ski outfit is a bib overall look, again in bright
colors. Both one and two-piece suits are hot-selling items.
Ski pants have gone fiom inside the boot to outside
because of the tighter fitting boot. Pants also have a tapered
leg instead of the old baggy look.
The softness in fabrics can be felt in the downfilled outfits,
especially the jackets. New is the look of foam padding around
shoulders and elbows. This especially is for the hot-dogger
stunt skier.
The trend in jackets is toward the short baseball jacket
look. Making these jackets soft and adding a cool shine to
them arc fabrics like anti-glisse. a tcxturied nylon, and nylon
cotton, an Iron and nylon and 100 per cent polyester.
Wool still is a popular fabric for sweaters. More colors and
patterned fabrics also are shown in knit skiwear. Women's
sweaters have a haltered look, making them loose on the top
and close-fitting around the midriff.
Covering the head is everything from wool and fur to
popular knits. The big-cuffed knit cap is big with women,
while the newsboy, poor-boy styles in bright colors, tweeds
and plaids seem to go well with the short jacket trend.
Gloves are changing because o! a leather shortage. Coming
out in bright colors, the styles combine leather palms with
backs of vinyl, denim and other fabrics to cut costs.
While the outdoors fashion h coloiful, indoors the skier
keeps warmer still with an old standby long underwear. This
year it's two-ply with wool on the outside and cotton on the
inside for a less scratchy and obviously more comfortable fit.
