1. Title: "A Chic and Warm Winter Sports Outfit: Dressing for the Slopes in 1935" 2.. Step back in time to the 1930s and discover the ideal outfit for a winter sports enthusiast. In this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, a stylish woman is seen preparing for a day of skiing, showcasing an elegant and functional ensemble from Army and Navy Stores. The outfit consists of black and white check plus fours in proofed serge, which were a popular choice for winter sports due to their durability and water resistance. The high-waisted trousers feature a classic plus-four design, with four buttons running down the front, adding a touch of sophistication to the outfit. Underneath the plus fours, she wears a scarlet sweater with a high neck, providing both warmth and style. The sweater's vibrant color and cozy texture make it a perfect companion for the chilly winter weather. To shield herself from the wind, rain, and snow, she dons a white Grenfell cloth wind jacket. This jacket, specifically designed for winter sports, boasts a waterproof and breathable fabric that effectively keeps the elements at bay. A knitted headband with ear protectors completes her winter wardrobe. The headband not only keeps her ears warm but also adds a fashionable touch to her outfit. Her white spats with red leather facings not only protect her legs from the snow but also add a pop of color to her ensemble. Lastly, she carries a rucksack or bun bag made of waterproof twill. This practical accessory allows her to carry essentials for her skiing adventure while keeping her hands free. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and functionality of winter sports attire during the 1930s. The combination of style, warmth, and practicality in this outfit continues to inspire and influence winter sports fashion to this day.
