How to put it together

Step into the neon one-piece ski suit and zip it up, leaving it slightly open at the collar for a relaxed look.
- 2
Adjust the built-in waist belt or add your own neon belt to cinch the waist.
- 3
Put on the neon sweatband or beanie, pulling it down just above your eyebrows.
- 4
Strap the oversized mirrored ski goggles over your head, resting them on your forehead or over your eyes.
- 5
Clip the neon fanny pack around your waist or wear it across your chest.
- 6
Finish the look with chunky retro sneakers or winter boots.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair big and voluminous with a high ponytail, crimped waves, or a messy blowout. For makeup, go for a sun-kissed look with heavy pink blush across the nose and cheekbones to mimic a fresh-off-the-slopes goggle tan.

- Keep your goggles resting on your forehead during indoor parties so you can see clearly and talk to people easily.
