How To Dress Warmly

Ad: This is a collaborative post

The temperature has dropped in the UK over the last few days. I don’t know about you, but I’ve put away my autumn coat and got out my thick winter coat, my scarves and my gloves. It seems that autumn is well and truly over, with even the first frost of the season yesterday. Where my kind husband defrosted my car for me in the morning, so I could drive to work in a frost-free car.

To help you to stay warm this winter, I’ve put together some tips on how to dress warmly so you can avoid catching a chill this winter.

Wear Layers

The best piece of advice I can give you about how to dress warmly is to wear layers. This is especially a good idea if you are out for a walk or run as you can strip the layers as you get warmer. If I wear my big padded coat whilst out on a hike, I find that I get way too warm as my body heats up from the exercise. I’m much better off wearing a number of thinner layers and then removing them as I get warmer and re-adding them as I cool down. It may be a good idea to invest in some base layers.

If I’m just sitting on a cold train heading to London for a meeting, I’m perfectly warm in my big padded coat as my body temperature isn’t fluctuating as much.

I often wear a pair of leggings underneath my normal trousers. This stops my legs getting cold when I’m out and about. If it’s really cold, I’ll wear fleece leggings.

Waterproofs Are Key

If it’s raining out, then taking a waterproof layer is a great idea. In the winter, wet clothes can take a really long time to dry out. If there’s a breeze, your wet clothes against your skin will make you feel very cold very quickly. I’ve got a foldaway waterproof jacket, which I just pop over when it starts raining and then once it’s stopped I can just pop it back in my bag. It’s thin, so I can wear my normal layers underneath but it stops my clothes getting wet and then cold as a result. I’ve got a jacket for walking and a more breathable one for when I’m cycling or running. My sports jacket is also bright orange and reflective so I can use it as it is getting dark.

Wear A Hat

This is the number one thing that people don’t do and it’s the number one thing that can make a difference to how warm you are. You can lose up to 40% of your body temperature through your head, so it’s important to wear a hat on a cold day. I love a winter hat and have quite a few.

Whether it’s a simple beanie, a flat cap or even a Russian-style one, you’ll be much warmer with one on. I’ve also got ear muffs, which are great for keeping your ears toasty on those not so cold days. My ear muffs have wireless speakers built into them, so I can also stream my music when I’m out and about.

Don’t Forget to Protect Your Eyes!

As the weather becomes colder and the sun not as strong, it is easy to forget that UV rays can still damage our eyes. Indeed, prolonged exposure can end up damaging your vision and show long- and short term consequences.

So, just like you protect your skin and hair from the cold with moisturizing masks, make sure you are investing in a layer of protection for your eyes – sunglasses!

Any time you are leaving for a trip outdoors, walk in nature, or family holiday, pack a pair of sunglasses to be ready for any situation. However, this type of preparedness becomes even more critical if you are planning a ski trip! Conditions such as “snow blindness” are not so uncommon as you might think!

Luckily, there is a simple solution like a pair of comfortable, easy to order sunglasses can be. And you can be sure that your vision – as well as the ones of your partner and little ones – is protected in any situation!

To make your outdoor experience more leisurely and free your hands, so that you can better complete outdoor operations and enjoy the activity process, you can customize a unique lanyard.

Custom lanyards can steadily carry your equipment, such as sunglasses, water cups, mobile phones, etc. You can also customize exclusive patterns, names, or slogans on the lanyard according to your personal preferences, making the lanyard a fashionable item that highlights your personality.

Whether as a practical little equipment or as a unique travel souvenir, it is of special significance. Come and customize your outdoor fashion items to make every trip full of unique charm!
