SKIMS and The North Face just flipped winter shopping on its head. The second SKIMS × The North Face collection is live, and I have the full breakdown on prices, sizes, and the smartest buys. This drop fuses sculpted, body-conscious cuts with proven mountain tech. It is built for the holiday rush and, for the first time, it invites the whole family.
What’s New Today
The capsule expands fast and smart. Sculpted puffers arrive in fresh shades like Bone, Kyanite, Gunmetal, Phoenix, and Onyx. Calf-length wrap coats anchor the outerwear story. You will also see scarf hybrids, shapewear-infused ski suits with corset styling, and full base layer sets.
Technical specs are not an afterthought. Expect 700-fill down for warmth, plus WINDWALL, FLASHDRY, and VENTRIX in select pieces. Adult sizes run XXS to 3X. Prices stretch from about 55 dollars to 800 dollars. That top number is lower than last year’s 1,200 dollar peak, which opens the door for more shoppers.
This is not just about style. It is about fit. SKIMS brings contour and hold, The North Face brings protection and durability. The result is a winter wardrobe that looks sleek and performs in real weather.
The Big Shift, A Kids Line
Here is the headline within the headline. The collaboration now includes kidswear. Sizes span 0 to 24 months and 2T to 7T. The shapes echo the adult line, so parents can outfit a family without mismatched quality or color.
This is a smart retail move. It takes a hype capsule and turns it into a household plan. Price points in the lower bands, including accessories starting near 55 dollars, give gifting options that will not break a budget.
Family sizing is the unlock. One launch, one checkout, matching performance and palette for everyone.
Deals Playbook, What To Buy First
Last year’s launch vanished in minutes. This year, the brand narrowed the top prices and broadened access. That means better value across the line, if you move fast.
- Sculpted Puffer, the hero. New shades, 700-fill down, lighter price than last year’s top-tier jackets.
- Calf-length Wrap Coat, sleek belt, warm, a rare blend at this price.
- Shapewear Ski Suit, corset styling, technical stretch, a true on-mountain to chalet piece.
- Base Layer Set, the best under-200 dollar pick, great gift, high wear rate.
Availability sits on SKIMS and The North Face online, plus select flagships. Expect limited runs per color and size.
Set an account and payment ahead of time. Use fast checkout. Add two color options, then remove one at the cart to beat sellouts.
Fit and Fabric Notes
SKIMS cuts hug the body. If you plan heavy sweaters, consider sizing up in puffers and wraps. Base layers run true to size for a close fit. FLASHDRY pieces are strong for sweaty climbs or crowded commutes. WINDWALL adds wind resistance on blustery days. VENTRIX helps with breathable warmth in stop and go activity.
Resale markups can jump within hours. Buy direct first. Many returns land within 7 to 10 days, which can trigger small restocks.
Why This Drop Matters
This is the modern winter formula. Performance first, shape second, same cart. The collection shows how outerwear can be warm, technical, and streamlined at once. Inclusive sizing, a wider price ladder, and the first kids line shift this from niche to mainstream family shopping.
There is also a gift logic here. Accessories and base layers hit the sweet spot under 100 to 200 dollars. Outerwear peaks at 800 dollars, which keeps high-end buys within reach compared to last year. The color story is tight and seasonless, so you will not feel out of date in March.
