From the attention-grabbing neon hues of the 80s to the classic 90s ski bib, Shinesty is tapping into the huge Renaissance of retro ski fashion. True to the theme, the company offers one-piece suits with classic prints and intentionally clashing colors. What is more, the outerwear has been named after iconic decade-appropriate figures, such as 'The Fresh Prince' onesie, 'The David F. Bowie' ski suit and 'The Bust A Move' ski pants. The vintage-style collection is nothing short of ridiculously fun. As a joke, the collection also features a swim brief which sports a photographic print of a denim pant.

Consumers can appropriately accessories with the 'Hot Doggin' head band and 80s-style ski sunglasses. To appeal to patriotism, Shinesty also offers its retro ski wear with the American Flag motif in the 'How's Your Aspen' ski bib.
