Was just having this conversation with a friend... I rock tan pants and a black jacket, but I wouldn't really call it plain more just "dark" colors vs "bright/colorful" colors

how about rainbow. to show that you favor an alternative lifestyle due to how much thought you put into the colors you wear on the ski hill.

Don't do super colourful. I have done this and unless you have black pants to mellow it out it looks kinda bad.

I just wear the plain colours, the most colourful I'm willing to get is the Saga PB & J jacket.

If you couldn't tell from the use of shitty dubstep, the extremely terrible editing and the earthquake affect then there is something wrong with you.

I've got white pants that have a black pocket (saga ivory) with a orange jacket (saga lobster) that I wear a black vest over (Ignant). So I'm all black and white except for orange sleeves. Looks really good IMO

I used to have bright as outerwear and gear. Going more subtle this year - keeping the bright pants, but going with darker hoodies and sweats and stuff. I'm mellowing in my old age.

black saga jacket, tan pants, murdered out crowbars with the black smith holt, last years 2012s and rasta skull candies, i like the plain outerwear way much more but i like how my skiis and headphones throw in some color.

I prefer a more plain look in contrast to some people who look like bloody Skittles on the mountains.
If I go for a bold bright colour it's going to be just one piece of my outerwear.

For instance my Pow setup consists of white pants with bright orange/red jacket.
My park setup is this years FD suit, considering the busy pattern I went for Black and white to tone it down a bit.

It's of course your own preference, but i.m.h.o. you don't need to look like a rainbow to stand out.
