The art of Winter Layering
The secret to winter warmth lies in choosing the right layers. Winter's chill may hang in the air. But it’s no match for a great layered outfit. While bundling up in a single heavy garment may seem like a tempting choice, every cold-weather warrior knows. But how do you layer clothes for winter correctly? Discover everything you want to know in this practical guide designed to keep you cosy, no matter how low the temperatures dip.
How to layer outfits for winter
Base layer
Creating a layered outfit that will keep you warm during the
winter months starts with choosing the correct base layer.
The right base layer will wick moisture away from your skin
which is crucial to staying warm. Keeping your skin dry will
mean you will be less susceptible to becoming chilled
ensuring you stay warm.
When choosing a base layer look for lightweight garments such as t-shirts that will ensure you are comfortable but not over-encumbered as you look to layer on top.
Mid layer
Your mid-layer is key for insulation and ensuring you stay
warm during the winter. A fleece or sweatshirt will provide a thicker insulating layer that will trap
warmth. Not just this but should the weather change
layering means should you need to, you can simply remove
this layer if you get too warm.
Outer layer
Your outer layer is mainly there to protect you from any
wind or rain you may face. Water-resistant jackets
are an excellent choice to ensure you stay dry in any
adverse conditions which in turn will keep you much
warmer in the long run.
Alternatively, consider a classic anorak for an outer layer that will keep you warm but stylish on your next winter adventure.
Styling and layering ideas for every occasion
No matter where the journey takes you this
chilly season, here are some ideas for cosy
layered outfits that pack a punch.
Urban winter exploration
When you're out exploring the chilly city
streets begin with a close-fitting,
moisture-wicking base layer. This ensures
that any sweat from your urban adventures is
effectively wicked away. On top of this,
layer a lightweight sweater or turtleneck
which adds not just insulation but a touch
of city chic.
For your outermost layer, the Rainforest Open Winter Jacket or the Antarctic Parka Jacket are a great choice. Finally, to elevate the look of your winter layered outfit, consider accessorising with a stylish beanie and a pair of leather gloves.
Weekend outdoor adventuring
Trekking in the great outdoors? Enjoying
snow sports? As always, start with a good
base layer or even a technical mountain
equipment base layer. Over this, a fleece or
a wool sweater works wonders in providing
warmth while ensuring movement isn’t
restricted.
For the outer layer, think of our Rainforest
Puffer Anorak or Skidoo Anorak Jacket. These
jackets are designed to protect you from the
elements while offering breathability,
ensuring you don't overheat during strenuous
activities. Complete the ensemble with
thermal gloves, a snug beanie or headband,
and perhaps a pair of sunglasses if you're
out on a sunny, snowy day.
Easy winter hangouts
Imagine a cosy evening by the fireplace or a walk-through snowy park. Start with a comfortable cotton long-sleeve tee or technical base layer. Over this, a cosy cardigan or a relaxed-fit sweatshirt is a great choice. Next, try the Rainforest Open Winter Jacket for a great outer layer. For the finishing touches? Grab a scarf and mittens then step into some ankle boots or your favourite sneakers.
Winter nights out
Headed out when the temperatures start to
dip? Winter nights can be especially icy so
opt for a high-quality technical base layer
to start. Next, choose a long-sleeve tee
then grab a classic zip-through fleece
middle layer or pullover. The Antarctic
Parka Jacket, with its timeless and elegant
design, is a great choice when it comes to
your final layer.
