The highly anticipated SKIMS x The North Face collection has finally landed—and promptly sold out within hours of its launch.
When two powerhouse brands like SKIMS and The North Face unite, the results are nothing short of spectacular. This collaboration seamlessly marries SKIMS’ signature buttery-soft, body-enhancing designs with The North Face’s expertise in technical, outdoor-ready materials. The collection delivers a perfect balance of form and function, offering pieces that are as practical for hitting the slopes as they are chic for winter city outings.

Standout items include the 2000 Retro Nuptse Jacket, a reimagined archival piece from The North Face, updated in SKIMS’ signature neutral tones like Ochre, Sienna, and Cocoa. The 1995 Retro Denali Fleece Jacket combines plush fabric with durability, providing protection against harsh winter elements. Other highlights include the waterproof and breathable Woven Seam Taped Pant, fleece gloves, a co-branded beanie, and layering-friendly leggings. True to SKIMS’ ethos, the collection incorporates flattering details such as cinched waistlines and body-shaping stitch designs, ensuring both style and comfort.

Notably, the collection’s earthy color palette aligns perfectly with Pantone’s recently announced 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, making these winter staples even more on-trend.
The buzz around the collaboration was astronomical. Pre-launch social media activity generated an impressive $5.4 million in media impact value, while teaser videos garnered over 8 million views and Instagram posts received up to 149,000 likes. David Whetstone, director of collaborations at The North Face, explained the brand’s decision to partner with SKIMS, citing their cultural influence. “We recognize the world is changing quickly, and SKIMS is driving culture in a unique and iconic way,” Whetstone told WWD.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the slopes, and I can’t wait to wear these pieces on my next trip.”
With its fusion of functionality and fashion, the SKIMS x The North Face collaboration has redefined what winterwear can look like—practical, trend-forward, and irresistibly chic.
