When the cold months arrive, we tend to think that more clothes mean more warmth.
But anyone who has gone out shivering into the street and ended up sweating ten minutes later knows that it's not always like that.
The key is not in the quantity, but in choosing the right layers .
The body needs thermal balance, and the clothes we choose can help… or make things worse. Luckily, with a few conscious choices, it's possible to stay comfortable all day, whether it's in the cold outdoors or indoors.
Here's how to get it 👇
The base: breathable, soft and regulating
The first layer is the one in direct contact with the skin, and that's why it largely determines your comfort.
Synthetic shirts can retain moisture, and when activity decreases, that moisture cools down and causes a feeling of cold.
That's why it's important to choose natural fibers such as:
-
Organic cotton , soft, hypoallergenic and perfect for regulating temperature.
-
Tencel™ , a highly breathable botanical fiber that absorbs moisture without retaining it.
These bases allow your skin to breathe and maintain a much more stable thermal balance.
The thermal layer: insulation without feeling stuffy
Forget about overly heavy sweaters that make you feel trapped.
Ideally, there should be an intermediate layer that generates natural heat , but also allows air to pass through.
Chunky knit sweaters — like those from Greener — have a structure that creates small air pockets between the fibers.
That air is, in fact, what keeps you warm.
The result: constant warmth, but without that suffocating feeling caused by some synthetic fabrics.
The outer layer: protection and breathability
The last layer should protect you from the wind and cold without turning you into a walking oven.
Look for clothes that:
-
Block the wind
-
Be light
-
Allow the internal heat to escape.
-
Prevent moisture from getting trapped
A good windbreaker or a lightweight but technical jacket can make the difference between spending the day comfortable or feeling wet and sticky.
Dressing well in winter is dressing smart
With the right layers, you don't need to wrap yourself in ten garments to feel warm.
The right combination accompanies you whether you're walking briskly in the cold or entering a warm cafe.
When you choose materials that regulate, warm and breathe, comfort lasts all day.
And, in addition, you reduce the need to carry unnecessary layers.
