It’s December, which means winter is coming up in the temperate and polar zones . The ultimate goal to achieve with fashion this season is warmth. It might be cold and chilly outside but you can still look your best and be warm. I got a request to write a post on winter fashion guide especially with which fabric and materials are suitable for this season. I’ll also be sharing some other tips which I think will be helpful for the winter season.

1. The best fabrics for winter

*Wool

Wool is the warmest fabric to go for during winter. It insulates the body and prevents heat from escaping the body . It is advisable to go for clothes made from wool because they are warm and durable.

* Fleece

Fleece has thermal insulating properties. It reduces heat transfer between the body and the environment. Moisture resistant and lightweight,also 👍.

*Hemp

Hemp might sound unusual but it’s really warm, it insulates the body , keeps you dry and it’s sustainable🌍❤️……… what’s better than that?

* Cashmere

Cashmere is softer and finer than wool . It has this soft and fluffy feel . Cashmere is very cozy and breathable too.

*Flannel

One thing that pops into my mind when I think about flannel is Christmas 🎄🙃. Flannel is warm but not so warm . It good for days that are moderately cold .

There are many other fabrics and fibres that are good for winter. The fuzzier the warmer 🤗 . But please avoid cotton. Cotton is very absorbent , so it absorbs sweats but you don’t want that because you’re going to be wet and chilly from the moisture of the sweat 🥶. It’s better to save it for the summer. Also avoid synthetic fibers like rayon , acetate, polyester and nylon. They are not at all breathable, they’ll trap heat but not like in the insulating kind of way. – the sweaty kind of way. Plus , they’re not eco-friendly.

2. Layering

During winter, wearing just one layer of clothing may not be a good idea . It’s better to put on about three layers- First layer to keep the chill and sweat away, second layer to insulate and keep you snuggly😊 and the third layer to protect from wind, rain and wet snow . It’s really up to you and how cold it is if you’d like to add more layers.

• Base layer – tights, long sleeved , close fitting shirts ( try to avoid cotton, it absorbs moisture)
• Middle layer – sweaters, jackets , jeans, turtleneck
• Outer layer – Shell coat, coat , trench coat , poncho

Now, one great advantage of layering is that you can undo/remove some of the layers when you begin to feel warm or when temperatures rise during the day .

Layering doesn’t only work for clothes. During bedtime you can layer your blankets to keep you warm and cozy all night long🙂.

3. Experiment with winter accessories.

Investing in different winter accessories for your winter wardrobe is the best decision you can make . Winter wardrobes have somewhat very limited options because they only/mostly consist of clothes made to keep you warm. With this you can make good use of winter accessories. By playing around with colours with scarves, gloves , snow shoes and boots , hats and ear muffs you can create fabulous looks with very limited choice of clothes .

Try to eat warm foods to be armed against the cold , inside – out .

Snuggle up, get some hot chocolate ☕ and wait for more exciting posts. I hope these tips will keep you cozy all winter long . How do you stay warm during winter?
