2. Winter as we all know is the coldest and also the most interesting
season of all, drifting away from the warming heat of the sun we fall prey
to the frozen chills. Being the wildest of all, this season lies between the
months of December to March while reaching its peak of coldness in
Decemberand January. As we take care of all our lifestyle during these
periodical drifting of months, it is also necessary to take care of our
clothing. Let’s see how….
DRESSING FOR WINTER:
Instead of bundling in a single thick garment, it is best to dress in two to
three layers. When the air is trapped between these layers, it provides more
warmth and comfort. The first warm layer should be thermal underclothes.
Thermal shirts, pants, leggings, and long underwear are some essentials
that is needed during winters. Thinner long-sleeved cotton shirts can be
used for layering. They not only keep the body warm, but also prevent the
skin from chafing caused due winter clothing like sweaters and sweat
shirts. Also for a better feel a quick-drying, moisture-wicking fabric that
prevents perspiration and rashes is chosen.
Along with thermal inner wear there is also a need for some excellent
outerwear. At least two coats, jackets, sweaters along with three to four
mittens and winter hats are needed to keep warm. If it is extremely cold,
then consider investing in a warm snowsuit is a better idea that keeps
warm.
Pick great quality coats or coats that are made of thick, puffy texture with a
covering of hide or wool. They ought to have rib-weave sleeves inside
sleeves to keep out breeze, and a versatile or drawstring at the midsection
to keep the coat fitted at the middle. Water-safe coats with hoods keep dry
and warm even when playing in the snow.
Since a vast level of body warm is lost through the head, it is best to pick
skin tight cotton or delicate fleece weaved cap with ear folds to secure

3. against the outrageous temperature. It is a smart thought to discover one
which is sufficiently long to cover the ears and temple.
Picking the correct material is fundamental on the off chance that you need
your winter garments to last more. Should the material be warm, as well as
waterproof and sturdy. You likewise need to choose a texture that is
breathable. Non-breathable textures can prompt sweating, which can cause
a considerable measure of inconvenience for the tyke. Fleece, wool, and
wool are a portion of the well-known decisions. In any case, there are many
individuals who pick firmly woven nylon or manufactured texture to
shield them from the nippy breeze. The inward wear can be made of
materials like silk, polyester, acrylic, or polypropylene that wick the
dampness far from the skin.
SOME OF THE COMMANLY USED WINTER
CLOTHINGS:
Sweaters:
Sweaters are our wardrobe staples. We need them not just to protect
ourselves from cold but also for a stylish outlook. They come in thick
woolen ones which protect us from intense cold to the ones that are light
enough to serve as casuals. They have become a fashion staple now a days.
There are two basic types in sweaters. PULLOVERS and CARDIGANS.
Pullovers are literally pulled over the head whereas cardigans have buttons
in the front. There are a lot more sub categories depending on the type of
necklines, materials and patterns.
BASED ON MATERIALS:
Most sweaters are made of natural fibers like wool or cotton. Wool
absorbs moisture without becoming wet and is inexpensive. Butthe

4. disadvantage is that to some people it causes allergies and itches.
Cashmere sweaters are the softest and the costliest one. This is made extra
soft by adding silk to it. Silk also serves as a good insulator to those who
have allergies with wool. Sweaters made from synthetic materials and
blend of various fibers are also available. Poly propylene is hydrophobic
and it prevents skin from getting wet as they do not absorb water and also
reduce heat loss. Pile/fleece fabrics are Good insulators when combined
with layers, but are not resistant to cold wind.

from cold when worn in thick layers or offers a casual outfit when it comes
in light layers.

trousers and a fitted vest.

The most popular kind of sweater neck that is used is the round neck that
is also known as crew neck. This style is most popular among men and
woman as it flatters both. Though its style is mostly loved, people normally
opt for different cuts and styles.

Tights are worn by both the sexes since several centuries. They are
primarily meant to protect the legs during winter.
The athletic tights are unisex. It is a leg garment which is used for
sheathing the legs and lower parts of the body. Typically tights were
available in the form of two-piece footed winter clothing but currently
some are also available in one piece. They are mainly made of nylon, lycra
and cotton and are stretchable. But depending on health conditions, the
correct temperature must be maintained by choosing the correct fabric
which gives correct warmth, no more, no less.
This selection also depends on the place a person lives in and the climatic
condition there. If you live in a region where the temperature drops really
down, then you need to choose the ones that come with lining. The best
tights are the ones that come with fleece or thermal lining. They are also
enriched with flatlock seams. Flatlock seams are really useful to avoid
chafing. Choosing those tights that come with ankle zippers are also a good
choice as they avoid ankle injuries like Achilles tendon during winter. They
also come with a affordable price of 50USD to 150USD considering the
quality.

and can be worn in various styles. Additionally, you won't need to pay a
considerable measure to keep your head and ears warm.

require a warm, woolen scarf around their neck. These scarves are sharp,
complex, and a keen buy. You can without much of a stretch find

out badly with fleece.

all the way. Have both of these gloves as they all give the essential scope
amid winters.

wear one with pants and an easygoing shirt, or thin fit khaki jeans and a
shirt. There are numerous retail chains and sites that offer a wide
assortment of blazer for various events. Research about the style, texture,
and outline you are keen on the most, and after that settle on your ultimate

cashmere jacket.

the fact that you may imagine that winter may not offer you an excessive
amount of adaptability to the extent footwear is concerned, this may not
generally remain constant. Dark winter boots dependably stay to be the
most loved among most mold keen ladies. Cowpoke boots add to the
exotic factor for your whole gathering. Lower leg length boots that are
combined with thin pants make a hot combo for a dull and horrid winter
day. In the event that this has a tendency to be excessively lively for you, at
that point you can go in for easygoing shoes like slump boots or UGG
boots. These accompany low or no foot rear areas and look breathtaking
when cooperated with skirts. A decent match of shoes can enable you to

coats are intended to protect you from the gnawing frosty outside.

play around with various styles and discover one that can best suit all your

thought to be various layering, one can check highlights, for example,

13. counterfeit hide trimmings and tight, cozy fits that can keep you warm and
not let any air from outside, enter the coat. Ladies' winter coats can be long
or short and stylish. Most outlines accessible today are with the end goal
that supplement the lady's body. In this way, ladies, who have a tendency
to be on the heavier side, require not generally stress over looking bulkier
amid the winter season. As should be obvious, we have given a few
pictures of the different sorts of coats accessible in departmental stores.
Ladies' winter coats are accessible in an assortment of materials like fleece,
corduroy, and tweed. Search for good marks that give you the choice to
pick materials that best suit the climate states of your place. Certain ladies
can even settle on denim winter coats, on the off chance that they live in a
region that encounters gentle winter. This works in keeping the body warm

vogue and are nitty gritty with hide collars or even fixes of calfskin.

materials that ought to enable the sweat to vanish. For the lower half of the
body goes in for pants that have a complimenting cut and involve
materials like fleece. This would keep you cozy throughout the day
without adding excessively mass to the body. For the individuals who
adore skirts, you can consolidate them with warm tights. These tights are
accessible in various prints and hues to enable you co-to ordinate your
closet in the most ideal way.

14. WINTERIZING SUMMER WARDROBE:
There is no need to switch moods away from the favorite summer
pieces just because the temperature is down. The need to spend dollars on
new outfits matching the season had already gone lower as there are
options for converting your summer stuff into winters.
Some of the possible transformations are listed here:
1. FLORALSUNDRESS:
A mini floral sundress which is a summer staple for many women is added
to the winter collection by adding a few more pieces of clothing to it such
as a jacket/cardigan, a wool scarf, a knee/ankle length boot and matching
tights. This is a more flaunting piece of attire to woman. They can also be
clubbed with fascinating outfits like chandelier earrings and a handbag.

15. 2. JUMPSUIT:
A romper or a jumpsuit can be turned into a outfit that can be used for chill
weather by wearing a long-sleeved top underneath. It can also be added
flavors by using it with a blazer for a look that makes you feel instantly
dressy. In case of feminine dresses a leather jacket can be used for a bolder
look.
3. SKATERSKIRT
Wearing a short skirt all year round is possible just by using a few different
combinations. For the top, it can be used with a loose sweater, long-sleeved
top and a leather jacket. This can be well used for warmth when added
with infinity scarf or a beanie for warmth. As for bottom it can always be
done with stockings that are either ankle or knee length boots or calf boots.

16. 4. DENIM SHORTS
In cases where that same short skirt can be even more revolutionized, it can
be paired with a peacoat, chunky cardigan or a jacket sometimes. Also a
patterned stocking always serves good in this purpose.
The Winter Colors:
For any mood and any season the hues and shades are the ones
that depict exactly what lies in a person’s mind. In that way the season
winter is portrayed by dull grays to stark whites and even bright oranges.

17. A mix of sophisticated palettes that winter time is known for may contain
vivid hues that reflect the urgency to imbue vivacity and variety in our
daily wardrobe with a color spectrum that allows experimentation.
On considering the current trend, clothing shows restraint in colors and
there is none of the usual perkiness. Instead the colors are muted and
elegant. The bright and bold shades are made as transition colors.
POINTS TO REMEMBER DURING PURCHASE:
Ensure the coats and boots fit you without flaw. In the event
that they are even 1 or 2 sizes enormous, they can give the frosty breezes a
chance to leak through. This isn't generally agreeable and you would've
squandered your cash over nothing.
Guarantee you get some great quality warm clothing as this aides in
security with no extra mass on the individual. This would likewise help
you to limit pointless layers.
With regards to leggings, go in for fleece and utilize dim shades to look on
the slimmer side.
On the off chance that the climate in your city is constantly low, as in the
temperature is very nippy, decide on a long coat and high boots. Keep the
length of the coat that scope till your knees.

18. Whatever you decide for the day, guarantee they are produced using hotter
materials. This would again limit any further layers on the body.
For creature darlings, rather than wearing genuine fur garments (which I'm
against), purchase fake fur garments. They are similarly as upscale and
agreeable, and will keep you sufficiently warm.
Continuously attempt different outlets previously you purchase a
definitive winter coat. The correct fit can transform your drilling outfit into
an energizing one.
On the off chance that you have very little time to whine around
purchasing winter garments, guarantee you get a perfect pashmina shawl.
Extra a few adornments and watch everyone sit up and pay heed to the
exquisite new you!
Winter attire requires not generally mean dull hues. Work on the surface
and shades of the outfits. Go in for metallic shades to spruce up the dull
blacks. Gunmetal silver and dim gold tones work for any night-out.
Decorate your winter attire with a metallic pack for some additional
excitement and allure.
KEEPING WINTER CLOTHES SAFE:
Winter clothing can be damaged if not taken care. Moths and Pests
seem to be attracted to them during summer and spring seasons. They
must be very well taken care by preserving them in plastic zippered bag
and moth balls need to be used in order to control pest.
