Chances are that if you walk into any ski shop, you'll be affronted with an array of ski apparel options. Fortunately, ski clothing doesn't have to be complicated. If you aren't sure what to wear skiing, it's best to start with the basics and then move on to the accessories. Here is a guideline for what to wear to skiing, which you can use as a checklist when you begin to assemble your ski wardrobe.
Below there's a list of optional and essential skiing gear to fully enjoy & experience skiing like a pro
Base Layer
For your base layer, you should invest in long underwear designed for winter sports. The woolen or cotton-thermal long underwear of your grandparents' generation is no longer your best bet. It's important to wear long underwear that is wicking, breathable, and fast drying, so if you work up a sweat you won't find yourself shivering. Also, your base layer should be form fitting and contoured so it fits smoothly under your ski clothes.

Mid-Layer
Your mid-layer is worn over your long underwear, and under your ski jacket and ski pants. Although you may shed your mid-layer on warmer days, you'll find that in colder temperatures, wearing a fleece layer really cuts the chill and prevents the wind from reaching you. Another option is a ski vest, which keeps your core warm without bulkiness.
