Four Ways To Brave The Elements Through Winter

It would be fair to say that winter definitions vary around the world. While the people of Rio de Janeiro may wander around with scarves around their neck in their so-called winter, slightly different measures are required if you venture to a lot of other destinations in the world.

As you may have gathered, the measures we are going to talk about today focus around your wardrobe. There are also specific beauty tips you can adapt through winter, with this usually involving a stroll down Covent Garden. However, back to the topic of fashion, it can be difficult to retain your own sense of style while still managing to stay comfortable (which, like it or not, should be the cornerstone of your winter wardrobe).

Nevertheless, today’s article will try and help you achieve both. Let’s now jump into some of the ways you can do this.

Take advantage with layering (bonus tip: use silk)

It’s the oldest trick in the book, so we are not going to talk significantly about layering. The advantages are plain to see, and the fact that you can strip on and off based on minor changes in temperature means that it works perfectly for winter.

However, the bonus tip involves using silk with your layering principles. A lot of people view this as a premium but thin material. While it might be thin, it has excellent thermal properties. The fact it is also thin means that you can also layer more items, without looking overly “bulky.”

Use hats and gloves to maximum advantage

Unfortunately, you might have to accept that winter is the season where you sometimes have to make compromises with your fashion choices. You might sometimes favour comfort over style to some extent, and this is where accessories like hats and scarves can work to your advantage. They are something that can add a spruce of colour, or just provide something that little bit different to an outfit.

The same rules apply with footwear

In a similar vein, footwear falls into the same category. It’s almost an accessory, and it’s something that you can really use to “complete” an outfit where general winter fashion rules might mean that it is somewhat lacking.

Not only that, but some footwear has excellent thermal qualities as well. For example, if we take a look at boots momentarily, this is something that can cover large portions of your lower leg and allow you to brave the elements much more easily.

Arm yourself with ribbed shirts

In truth, it doesn’t have to be shirts, but as long as you pick ribbed garments in some regard, it will help you no-end. The beauty of these ribbed clothes is in the design. As the cottons are effectively intertwined, it means that pockets of heat are trapped within your clothing. Ultimately, if you can wear these garments underneath your larger outfits, you’ll find that you retain much more heat and winter fashion becomes easier than ever before.
