Winter Layering Tips

1 Follow the three-layer rule: a moisture-wicking thermal base, an insulating mid-layer like fleece or wool, and a windproof and waterproof outer shell.
2 Avoid cotton as a base layer in winter as it retains moisture and can make you feel colder; opt for merino wool or synthetic thermals instead.
3 Choose an outer layer with a proper closure system like a zip-and-snap combination to seal out cold drafts and wind.
4 Invest in quality accessories like insulated gloves, a warm scarf, and a snug beanie, as most body heat escapes through extremities and the head.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many layers should I wear in winter?
Three layers is the gold standard for winter dressing: a thin moisture-wicking base, a warm insulating mid-layer, and a protective outer shell. On extremely cold days you may add a fourth layer like a down vest between the mid and outer layers. MyWear calculates the exact number and type of layers you need based on real-time wind chill and temperature data.
What is the warmest fabric for winter clothing?
Merino wool and cashmere are among the warmest natural fibers, offering excellent insulation while remaining relatively lightweight and breathable. Down filling provides the best warmth-to-weight ratio for outer layers and is ideal for extremely cold conditions. MyWear recommends fabric types and insulation levels based on the severity of each day's winter weather.
How do I stay stylish in bulky winter clothing?
The key is choosing well-fitted pieces that provide warmth without excess volume, such as a tailored wool coat instead of an oversized puffer. Monochromatic outfits in dark tones create a sleek silhouette even with multiple layers. MyWear helps you build winter outfits that balance warmth and aesthetics by recommending slim-profile insulating pieces from your wardrobe.
Should I waterproof my winter boots?
Absolutely. Treating leather and suede boots with a waterproofing spray before winter extends their lifespan and keeps your feet dry in snow and slush. Reapply the treatment every few weeks during heavy winter use for continuous protection. MyWear reminds you when wet conditions are forecast and suggests your waterproof footwear options for those days.
