Smart layers are an essential part of winter. Rather than relying on
just one coat, you can ensure optimal warmth by smartly layering. By starting
with the base layer and working your way through the outer layers, you can
ensure you stay stylish and warm. Keep in mind that clothing made from natural
fibers is always good and has stood the test of time. Wool such as cashmere,
merino and lamb's wool are used in tailoring, knitwear and outerwear for this
reason. Contemporary fabrics are good because they can provide extra warmth for
severe cold and safe performance.
Merino wool is possibly one of the best forms of fabric to layer - it
can be used in base layers, sweaters, and accessories. The Woolmark Company has
championed merino wool, which has natural absorbing and health properties.

Base coat
Mercerized cotton or merino wool T-shirts are a great starting point to
base your outfit choices. Merino wool blend base layers provide natural warmth
for those who prefer a more sheer, more classic layering option. A little tip
to retain in mind is that gray t-shirts are ideal to wear under white and
light-colored shirts because they don't show through. Uniqlo Heattech is ideal
for extreme climates when you prefer not to use too many interlayers. If you
want a thermal layer, why not opt for a pair of fine merino wool long johns
to keep you comfortable all day.

Investing in good wool socks will ensure that your feet stay warm thanks
to the natural insulating characteristics of wool, while staying cool thanks to
the natural moisture wicking qualities. Merino wool, cashmere, or mohair socks
are best.

The middle layer
Sleeveless jackets and padded vests are useful layers that can easily be
worn with your suit, sweater, or even under a coat. These capes typically have
goose down or technical padding that provides unmatched warmth. In recent
years, we take seen an increase in "maximized layers", with bomber
jackets and denim jackets worn under coats. It adds a nice dimension and texture
to your outfit, but it can get too hot if you do it all the way through.
However, the beauty of wearing such layers allows you to redo your mid layer,
whether you are still wearing a quilt and your bomber jacket underneath, and
then leaving your outer layer open or secured with a scarf.

When layering, keep your day's activities in mind and remember that by
layering wisely, you can make sure you peel off easily. Having too many diapers
can be a better mantra during the winter months, and carrying a large purse or
purse with you will allow you to remove the diapers and put them away when you
don't need them. Or vice versa, giving you the decision to apply a coat if
necessary.

Finishing touches
You can dress a scarf or hat to finish off your layered look. Large
scarves can be worn from place to place the neck or even across the chest and
buttoned under your jacket or coat. Make sure the cold doesn't take over you
and don't be afraid to take bold action on your layers. @ Read More imtechaddicted fitliza technologyiesinnovation
