The North Face x SKIMS Winter Collection 2025 – Release Date, Price & Where to Buy
About the release
The North Face and SKIMS are back for a second winter collaboration, expanding on last year’s fast sell out capsule with more silhouettes, a refined winter palette, and a first ever kids-wear range. This drop blends The North Face’s cold weather performance heritage with SKIMS’ sculpted fit and clean styling, creating winter essentials that feel technical without looking overly “outdoor”.
From Nuptse puffers and Denali fleece to contouring base layers, Ventrix mid layers and one piece ski suits, the capsule is built for real winter use. The full collection launches on 9 December 2025 via both brands’ webstores, select retail locations and luxury stockists.

Overview of the collection
The second The North Face x SKIMS drop builds on the demand of the first capsule, which sold out in minutes and sparked constant restock requests. For 2025, the brands have expanded the line-up into a full cold weather system that balances performance, comfort and clean styling.
Alongside returning adult silhouettes in sizes XXS to 3X, the biggest update is a first ever kids-wear range, bringing the collaboration to younger sizes for the first time. The collection is designed to layer smoothly, move with the body and perform in cold conditions, without losing that SKIMS fitted look.
Key categories and technology breakdown
Nuptse jackets
The Nuptse remains the centrepiece of the collection. First introduced in 1992, it is one of The North Face’s most recognisable performance silhouettes and returns here reworked in SKIMS’ refined winter palette.
Both versions feature 700 fill down insulation for cloud-like warmth, paired with WINDWALL™ technology to block wind chill while retaining body heat. The result is a jacket that delivers serious cold weather performance without feeling overly bulky.
- 2000 Retro Nuptse Jacket – £370
- 1996 Nuptse Jacket – £424
These are expected to be the fastest movers again, particularly in Bone and Gunmetal, which balance SKIMS’ minimal aesthetic with classic TNF heritage.
Denali fleece
The Denali fleece takes a more relaxed approach, blending mountain heritage with everyday wearability. Finished with a DWR water repellent coating and a plush brushed fleece interior, these pieces are designed to work both as mid layers and standalone winter staples.
This is one of the most versatile and wearable categories in the collection, ideal for daily winter use when a full puffer feels like overkill.
Refina base layers
SKIMS’ influence is most obvious in the base layer offering. The Refina range uses FLASHDRY™ moisture wicking technology combined with 360 degree stretch, delivering a second-skin fit that contours the body while keeping warmth locked in.
These pieces are designed to sit under outerwear in cold conditions, but the clean finishes and sculpted seams make them strong enough to be worn on their own.
Ventrix™ mid layers
VENTRIX™ insulation adapts to movement, trapping heat when stationary and releasing excess warmth as activity levels increase. This makes these pieces ideal either as mid layers in extreme cold or as breathable outer layers on brisk days.
One pieces and ski suits
The Off The Clock One Piece, priced at £846, stands as the most fashion-forward item in the capsule. It combines SKIMS’ sculpted silhouette language with functional winter performance, making it as much a statement piece as it is a technical garment.
Colour palette
Instead of SKIMS’ usual skin tone spectrum, the second collection leans into a refined winter palette designed to work across outerwear, base layers and accessories.
- Bone
- Kyanite
- Gunmetal
- Phoenix
- Onyx
These shades make it easy to build full tonal fits, whether layered for alpine conditions or styled for everyday winter wear.

Why this drop matters
The North Face x SKIMS works because neither side compromises. The North Face brings real outdoor credibility, proven insulation systems and technical fabrics. SKIMS brings fit science, silhouette control and a modern design language that feels clean and wearable.
The campaign, shot in the Chilean mountains, reinforces that balance. It feels editorial without losing performance credibility. This is winterwear designed to be used, not just photographed.
Given how quickly the first collection sold out, and with kidswear now added to the mix, demand is expected to be even higher this time around.
