Cubitts Emerton with Transition Lenses, transitions.com

If you want eye protection that’s stylish off the slopes, crucial for après-ski, there’s only one option: get a pair of frames with Transitions Light Intelligent lenses. Upgrading your glasses with Transitions lenses you won’t need to worry about swapping from specs to sunnies. And best of all, they lighten and darken in a matter of seconds. We like Cubitts’ frames, which are all handmade in England and can be suitably specced (sorry) to your eye needs.

Acne’s beanie has a pilled finish and a luxurious wool/cashmere blend.

Hemisphere goggles, £110, zealoptics.com
