How I Stay Warm During Winter | Vintage Fashion Inspo 

You absolutely can't cater to all climates, I live in QLD, my tips would be to wear trousers, or high boots with a skirt plus a cardigan because it only gets down to maaaaaybe 5°C. You can't know everything. Thanks for the effort you put in.

Layering is the only way to fight cold. Make sure you're wearing natural fibers- most modern clothes are made of plastic that can't keep you warm in -30C. The lowest temperature I experienced in Romania was -22C, at night.

Canadian here, fleece lined tights, knit over the knee or thigh high socks, and help when it's in the colder weather, like - 15c to - 35c. Layering like this also works if you're wearing jeans or slacks to help keep you warm :)

Sapphire Camui here in Canada, -22C happens quite often during the winter days, the lowest I ever saw during the night was near -50C! I agree, those tips are meant for people that are in the same temperature range as her, still we can steal a couple tips ;)

Finland here. I'm working on knitting leg warmers (from mid calves (mid calves high winter boots) up to thighs, my plan is to keep them in place with a girdle), don't know yet how it turns out. :D They'll be 100 % wool. They'll be the top layer. Otherwise, I have wool blend stockings and polyester, cotton or bambu leggings with knee-high socks, if around 0. Haven't tried to wear more pairs of stockings, do you wear all three in the same size or do you size up? Those I have, they are barely big enough, even though according to the size table on the back of those stockings, I'm on the verge of two sizes and I chose the bigger one and they're still barely big enough! And a bigger size not available in this particular model. :( I'm working on losing weight but it's slow so can't layer stockings this winter when I can't get a bigger size, I guess. Otherwise, I have a long woolen skirt (self-made) with a layer of... Can't remember what it's called. It something like the white layer you can found inside of winter jackets (not in jackets) + underskirt layer attached (so it's two warm layers plus thin smooth layer working as underskirt). Still not enough, maybe because the wool is not thick enough so I'm making these leg warmers. Where did you get such a wonderful long shirt? This style with big puffy sleeves? I'd like to buy something like this, I have only basic modern long sleeved shirts and they look stupid with a Hepburn style dresses but puffy sleeves could work with it. (Not skilled enough to sew such a not-beginner-friendly project yet) And I'm planning sewing also a linen chemise as an additional layer. I've read linen is really good for this purpose. Keeping cool in summer, warm in winter + protecting the next layer cleaner and better for longer.

I’m in the USA and we call them “thermal tights” I actually think I like ‘thermo’ better! 😆

I'm American and I always called them thermal tights.. I understood you perfectly

Long underwear or thermal under wear

I actually do that too. Just forgot to mention it 😂 I knew something was missing!

Thanks I didn't know the exact words for it. The struggle of being German 😉 Slip shorts are also a great idea. I've never seen them before. Thanks for sharing!

I love bloomers because they also protect against accidental flashing haha

My sister tells me I dress like a granny every day 😂

@@toni5543 True. The aesthetic fits some people but sadly, I am not one of them. 😂 i can only admire these vintage girls from afar.

@@hp8087 truly I think it's about confidence, if you walk like you own it, then you own it! 😘

Well if u were born in the 40s lets say u would HAVE to wear that style...and i doubt u would look like a granny. U just gotta wear the right styles from ur fave era that work good on u. I think ANYBODY can pull off vintage. Just like ur parents or grandparents did. 😉

where do you buy ?

I'm watching this even though we don't have winter season in our country... 😊😊😊

Petticoats are great. Did you know that people used to wear *flannel* petticoats during the winter back in the 1800's/early 1900's? When skirts/dresses became straighter and more form-fitting, flannel petticoats wouldn't fit underneath and they fell out of favour. For whatever reason, they didn't make a comeback when skirts billowed out again in the 1950's. If anyone is handy with a sewing machine (or a needle and thread - these things were originally hand-sewn, after all), there's a tutorial on how to make one here: sewcialdee.com/2018/10/05/diyreversibleflannelpetticoat/

hello. I am a vintage lover😍. you are amazing. well done. by the way, could you write down the name of the designer of your coat, please? or the site. cashmere and merino wool are very good materials for winter

That sounds like a dream 😭☺️ I'm going to look for one

I'm glad I could help!

La Foire aux Vanités same here!

It's your life, dress the part! You are the prima Donna in the book you are writing, my dear.

That's true, a good tipp as well :)

Thank you! 🙏🏻 I actually never get any negative comments. Maybe people look weird at me but that's it 😊

Awww that’s good! As long as you’re happy, you do you!

@Natalie 1234 In France not really though. If you're alternative, have dyed hair and are full of tattoos and piercings you get some looks and sometimes get refused from some jobs because of it

Awh that makes me happy ☺

You're welcome ☺

Thank you 🙏🏻

Lmao wtf. U crazy ?? Good luck tho 😂😂😂

You can fo it, but its hard. I live in MN too. If you are in the cities you could use the walkways exclusively but Im in rural and I wear a lot of layers.

Also, fleece lined tights are awesome. Ive only found black and grey but. They are great.

@@Diniecita I live in a rural area, too. I'm going to be wearing so many layers but I think it'll be worth it 😁I'll definitely be wearing regular winter clothes like if it gets dangerously cold, though. I'll for sure be looking for a couple pairs of fleece lined tights, too

People had to do it before and they didn’t even have cars and central heating!

Oh I'm glad to hear that!!

Yay, thank you ☺

Hehe thank you ☺

I haven't really found the perfect vintage hat myself to be honest. You could maybe try some wool headbands that go over your ears or some turbans that are also very vintage. Otherwise when it's very cold I just go for a bobble hat but that's not very vintage inspired 😁 But thank you 🙏🏻😊

As a fellow Canadian, I agree, but the trick is where to find those merino wool layers, and for a reasonable price! When I look on Amazon, the quality is often poor, and the products at The Bay can be quite expensive. I found some merino wool tights at Simon's, but for $30! I guess it would be worth it, but not sure. Any suggestions?

This is just how my hair looks two days after I made my curls. So they're a bit brushed out. If you want to know how I make them, there's already a video 😊

This is what I meant with thermo tights. It's the same thing and I mentioned them too! :)

@@Shirinatra ahhh I didn't know that and it's good to know they exist in Europe as well. Didn't find those when I lived in Paris 6 years ago. We have really thick but sleek ones here ;)

What coats do you usually wear? :)

@@hel.8161 I've not found English equal analog. The coat is something like the special coat for skiing. So, if the the tempr is below - 30 some people will wear it to go for job :D crazy siberian fashion))))

I live in Canada, in one of the cold provinces. Her ensemble wouldn’t work with our windchill of -40C. I have to wear a hat, cover my face (except my eyes) with a scarf and wear a hood that completely blocks wind from my neck and head. By the time I get to my location, my eyelashes have ice on them because my breath travels up from behind the scarf adding moisture. I can forget about doing a fancy hairstyle. I didn’t even mention the thick gloves and Canadian boots that almost reach my knees. Fashion can go to hell when I’m trying to keep frostbite from claiming my appendages.

May I suggest you research the vintage fashions of Russia/Norway/Canada in winter? At least in Russia/Eastern Europe the traditional thing to do is to wrap a scarf around your head and put your hood on top. During my exchange semester to Russia everyone still did that BTW and I can confirm that it's very warm.

Von Zeit zu Zeit sind die im Angebot bei Aldi oder lidl, also da habe ich meine gefunden
