Skiing endures as one of the world’s most aesthetic sports, with luxury fashion houses capturing its allure both on and off the slopes. This season, none have done this better than Louis Vuitton, whose 2026 Men’s Ski Collection effortlessly fuses high-style streetwear with performance-driven sportswear.
Designed by the storied French maison’s men’s creative director Pharrell Williams, the versatile collection features both authentic skiwear garments and off-the-slopes pieces, creating a holistic interpretation of the mountain lifestyle as seen through Louis Vuitton’s singular lens.
For those thrill-seekers gliding down the mountain, the 12 activewear options include a ski suit in the Louis Vuitton Tartan Pixel motif, which begins brightly with blue and red on the jacket and gradually fades into the matching pants, as if the pixels are falling like Tetris blocks; and another ski suit made of a dark blue technical material that reads as denim, giving it a relaxed yet elevated daywear quality — and ensuring it looks as good on the hill as it does at the summit bar. Optimized for performance, both suits come complete with waterproof closures, insulated phone compartments, and ventilation components, all the while employing the strong silhouettes, well-crafted materials, and sartorial elements that the brand is known for.
For added warmth on cold bluebird days, consider the grey and white shearling scarf with LV Monogram, or the plush white half-zip hoodie subtly printed with the house’s signature Monogram Flower on the shoulders and arms. The LV Frost ski mask, meanwhile, comes in either black and white or beige and brown, inspired by the maison’s trunk heritage and helping achieve a cohesive head-to-toe look.
When it comes time to stroll the village or relax in the chalet, the off-the-slopes options abound — from the LV Yeti snow boot in intarsia shearling Monogram and metallic gunmetal variations, to the LV Crush toque in luxurious chenille bouclé wool. The LV Remix hiking boot is done up in black hydro leather, while the Christopher Sport backpack comes in denim-like trompe l’oeil nylon and features a tight-fitting hood flap and easy zip pockets for maximum utility. The LV Trainer Maxi combines functional warmth and style with shearling and fluffy wool laces, and a collection of metallic PVC Monogram-embossed bags conjures images of pristine, glittering snowscapes.
Après-ski fashion reaches its peak with items such as the sophisticated black cashmere-blend coat, the casual tan-coloured shearling trucker jacket with matching pants, and the cozy white vest complete with enlarged LV Monogram.
From end to end, this capsule draws on the beauty of the outdoors in winter — from fabrics reminiscent of powdery snowfalls to shapes that embody majestic mountain peaks.
The invigoration of crisp alpine air, the sound of snow crunching underfoot, the warmth of returning to the chalet after a day spent on the slopes — skiing is not just about the sport itself, but about the lifestyle it offers. This is where Louis Vuitton shines: in making pieces that celebrate adventure and leisure in equal measure.
