OK Tricia, fashion advice needed

[VickieH]

Personally, I'd go for the abyss dark blue color over red-on-red

And the abyss dark blue opens up the options for jacket colors.

But skiing in a red jacket means that you're more likely to get pulled over by ski patrol...

That probably is correct but if you didn't break any rules, you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Looks like it's all sold out now anyway. I guess we will have to wait until next year for a decision to be made (barring super sales at Lahoutt's when I am in Lincoln next week).

Bummer. I like the green shade that was sold out with the red. That’s only if you still have your black pants as a 2nd pair. The blue was second for me. So if you find a pair when you’re shopping next week are you gonna post pictures so we can help you?

I have been wearing black pants all year as a sign of mourning for my usual ski season

My sentiments too. Over the past few years my wife has been influential in me procuring some yellow and orange Stio pants (which I love, normally); I've been of the black pant family for decades. This year I refused to wear colorful ski clothes in mourning of very truncated ski year for me. Next year hopefully will be a full on rainbow season

Why pick just one color when you can have them all?

 

[Erik Timmerman]

Found and ordered a pair of the red ones. Hoping to be mistaken for Austrian demo team member from now on. Call me Franz.

So you went with the red/red setup? Nice. You're like my brutha from anutha mutha.

My red/red setup:

Yeah I can do something different later if I want. Life is short.

^ Great, now accessorize the outfit with either a fanny-pack or backpack and everyone will think you're ski patrol!

 

[crgildart]

That's really cool looking. I like it!

I like it, too. The black accents add enough contrast to make it interesting.

Only if they can catch you, those red jackets are deceptively fast

Since you guys helped @KevinF what I need to know is is monochrome an acceptable look? If I have a red coat, can I have red pants too. Can it be the exact same red or does it need to be a different one?

I didn't read any of this thread, so I'll go ahead and weigh in at full throttle.....

1. No on the monochrome.
2. At all costs, avoid the dreaded "almost a match".
3. Most importantly, drive fashion, don't follow it.

Off to ski, now.

Snowbasin/Sun Valley uniforms. I love them. Some people don’t.

I don’t like mixy not-matchy stuff. Of the outfits @dbostedo posted, only one looks good to me. Brown or red or green pants with a colorblock blue jacket? No, nope nope.

How I wish NSP would make deals with HH.

[Seldomski]

Personally a fan of the look where it's obvious I'm not trying to match... at all. Funny, no one seems surprised when I tell them I'm an engineer.

 

[LiquidFeet]

Obviously trying (Bogner) and proud of it.

Trying to not look obvious about trying.
