Getting dressed before heading off to work, the outdoors, or just to do some errands during the winter can feel like an Olympic sport.We put so much work into layering, picking the right items, and coordinating that it only makes sense to fill our wardrobes with the most practical, essential garments for winter. Read on to learn more about some useful garments you should have for staying warm in different winter situations.
Thermal Socks & Base Layers
Whether you’re out and about or indoors, our toes can get cold pretty fast.Wearing bulky socks or multiple pairs can be uncomfortable and inefficient, and fabrics like cotton don’t hold up too well when it comes to insulation.
That’s where Heat Holders thermal socks and clothes come in. Thermal socks come in different lines for ladies, men, and children with a special heavy-duty line, Worxx, for people who work outdoors. These socks provide thermal protection and comfort with a reinforced heel and toe for extra durability. The thermal warmth also extends to hats, gloves, and thermal base layers — a winter necessity for anyone outdoorsy who needs to layer efficiently for those snowy hikes or for anyone simply looking for a little extra warmth.
Chilly Office Woes
If you work in an office then you’re all-too familiar with the struggles of staying warm in a building that never feels like the right temperature. You’ll take any opportunity to make some tea, you wear your jacket at your desk, and maybe you’re trying to find the right moment to ask your boss if you can bring in a space heater even though it’s very much against the building’s fire code. When you’re sitting all day, your metabolism grows a bit sluggish and you create less body heat — it’s a recipe for frigidness.
There are plenty of ways to stay warm while working in a chilly office, but it might not look so good on you if you start wearing fuzzy slippers at work, or start writing all your e-mails from underneath a throw blanket.
One garment you can use to stay warm at your office in winter is arm warmers. They’re simply a long tube of knit material with a hole for your thumb and an opening at the end for your fingers. You can keep your hands warm as you clack away at your keyboard and get some relief from chilly digits.
Faux Shearling Scarf
Real shearling refers to a yearling sheep that has been shorn only once. It also refers to the skin from the yearling sheep or a lamb that goes through the tanning process with the soft wool still on it. The skin/wool combination of shearling is a popular material for coats, boots, and outerwear accessories, but there is a growing demand for vegan clothing as more and more people grow ethically conscious with their clothing choices. Cruelty-free motives aside, faux furs are also popular because of their lower prices and availability.
A faux shearling scarf has all the softness and warmth of real shearling without the high cost. What’s more, it’s much easier to clean than real leather (no dry-cleaning bills) and that’s a huge added bonus. This type of scarf feels soft, luxurious, and it will keep you super warm on those frigid winter days.
