What's the gear these days, back in 90s it used to bright bright multicoloured ski jackets and salopettes with straps.
I take it these will be ok,

What about under these, I thought a pair of running tights. Then just a thermal top and ski jacket.
Standard kit =
Top:
Merino base layer
Polartec or other grid light to mid-weight fleece (variable depending on temps, I have 3 different warmth ones)
Weatherproof shell
Gloves (thin for anything over about 5, thicker for anything below and thick + merino liner gloves for anything <-15)
Bottom:
Merino 3/4 base layer (don't want anything in your boot other than the sock)
Lightish weight merino ski socks (want a tight boot fit)
Weatherproof shell pants
If it's sub -10 I'll throw on some Polartec/grid fleece 3/4 tights over the base layer
If you're taking lessons and standing round a lot and/or are a beginner than usually most just get insulated jackets/pants but these become less versatile in future - e.g. when I went skiing last time on a couple of days it was 5 and some others 15 degrees c so I would have cooked if I had an insulated jacket.
Those MH salos are very insulated (fleece-lined) and only water repellent rather than resistant so will soak through on a wet chair left or if you're sat in snow. Of course it depends where you're going skiing as to how cold it will be, but I would rather go for something lightly or not insulated for the legs and use layering (I'm low on body fat and feel the cold but have never needed nearly as much insulation for my lower half than my body) - a lot of the ski places are doing sales and there's always SportsPursuit too so I'd look for something with the standard water and wind resistance ratings labelled (minimum 10k, ideally >15k for both).
