Ski clothes are most amusing when they're slutty, and Topshop is nothing if not slutty, so we had high hopes for the British superchain's Sno collection. Sadly, it's not nearly as ridiculous as we'd expected. Instead of leopard prints and neon and waterproof leggings, we get lots of black and functionality. The prices are reasonable, though: $170-$180 for a jacket, $210 for a "boiler suit", and $24-$30 for long johns in pretty colors. The collection debuted in-store this week and will appear online next week. [RackedWire]
