Would it be weird to wear like Palace or Polo jackets on the mountain if they were good quality and looked nice? No one ever does it, but I don't see why not.

If I wore “nice” street wear while skiing I would shred it to pieces.

This has nothing to do with the original post but fit a long time I wore board shorts under my ski pants. Halfway between wearing nothing and a base layer for those in between sorta hot sorta cold days. Plus the material held up well to water. Unorthodox... But Effective.

Dudes used to ski in sweaters, and I guarantee they ripped way harder than you

Old fishing and boating jackets are great for spring days or rainy skiing, or even super wet late season storm riding.

I also rock 10+ year old wool sweatpant bottoms over my baselayer, been doing that ever since i can remember

I wear my neck tube at my hairline like a wig so it looks like I have long and luscious black hair from a distance

If it’s dry snowing, you can just wear a long sleeve shirt over a sweater. It’ll catch the snow but because it’s not melting on you, you won’t get wet and it’ll come off mostly on its own. Really though a windbreaker is both trendy and effective when it’s snowing

I don’t know if I’d call this unorthodox...
As far as I know board shorts or just shorts is something pretty much every park/freeride skier does

Get some work clothes, carhartt type brands, way cheaper than ski gear and if you get the right stuff it holds up fine. I had a pair of carpentry pants for half a season and could hardly tell the difference, used the hammer loop for my pass.

Do that same thing, pair of wrangler ones from Walmart for like $15. On their second season now. Pass on the loop and everything.

I also wear board shorts, it’s a nice extra layer for your ass and nothing else, which is perfect imo

I ski with board shorts under my ski pants.

I absolutely shredded through my expensive neoprene sailing gloves, and found that some $15 dish washing gloves from William Sonoma gave plenty of dexterity, waterproofing, and a warm fabric liner for spring sailing. They also make great rainy day gloves for skiing, assuming you don't cut the rubber grabbing or something.
