I don't think you need too many things to stay warm and stylish in the winter! What are your winter wardrobe essentials?

I just thrifted the sweetest wool grey herringbone jacket from my DADS CLOSET!! And it's the perfect oversized fit. I almost cried when I put it on. I also found wads of 100s in the pockets, but I gave those back 😏

I live in Canada as well and the packable down vest (actually I usually wear a thrifted packable down jacket) allows me to wear my pretty wool coat all* winter. Honestly game changer. *I still wear a parka if it’s heavily precipitating so my pretty wool coat doesn’t smell like a wet dog lol

Wowwww that’s goals! I’m in a parka most myself - I’m a wimp in the cold haha

@33Jenesis Год назад

Salt stain on leather boots is my pet peeve. I wear Icebreaker, Terramar wool skin, and Wicked Wool base layer when winter hiking/snowshoeing in high altitude. I have 2 down mini skirts to wear over jeans and pants to keep bum warm. I also wear down gaiter under pant leg. It is amazing how a thin layer of down can keep core temp. I just bought a pair of down filled pants on Amazon because the power of thin layer of down to cold proof. In winter I feel like an accessory shop. Every time before going out, I put on hat, scarf, glove liner, and mittens (also balaclava if windy). Every time I enter indoor space, I take them off. I have a foldable shopping bag in my tote just for keeping these in one place so that I don’t lose any.

@katb7375 Год назад

I took a travel contract in Alaska. When we got here, it was summer and loved it so much, we decided to extend over the winter. Even though I’m from Montana, I wasn’t prepared for how many outdoor activities still happen out here in the winter. Your winter tips have been a life saver when spending hours outside watching the Aurora. Thanks for all you do!

@SnowPrincessSally Год назад

I've always wanted to see the northern lights. I think I saw them really faintly earlier this year outside my window for the very first time but I love how beautiful they are in Alaska. I live in Pennsylvania so the northern lights rarely make it this far south.

@Kaori57 Год назад

I see a few Albertans in the comments already, hahaha. It's miserable over here. I also work in a shipping warehouse so I'm constantly getting exposed to the cold winds. The Uniqlo heattech has helped me SO MUCH. I also have a heattech scarf that is super cozy. :) Great tips though! I need to get some of those fur insoles. Even with wool socks, my toes have been getting so cold.

@Christinamychas Год назад

Stay warmies!

@AlexLouiseWest Год назад

Thank you. I find your tips useful for England too. Our outdoor temperatures are generally higher than yours but a lot of us can't heat our houses properly, so we may not fully warm up. I'm also just about to sing in a cold medieval church. Layers are essential.

@laurenmw9629 Год назад

When I lived in Ontario (I’m in BC now), I wore leggings or tights under jeans and found that pretty warm, and it kept the wind at bay. At some temperatures there’s no way you’re not going to feel it when out for an extended period of time 😅

@Aileenwasright Год назад

Thank you for the Kamik recommendation. First moved to a climate with snow last year and I was not prepared in the shoe department haha. I have been looking for something that isn’t super bulky but that I also won’t mind getting a little dirty when I walk my dog. REI had some good deals on them and I snagged a pair. The convenient zipper sold me as I hate having to lace and unlace when I’m just trying to run out the door.

@snejanastratieva8444 Год назад

Thanks for the stylish outfit ideas! 😊 From another east European living in cold Canada (Montreal)

@Jennie8684 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I live in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia. Our Winters are freezing by Australian standards, and warm by Canadian standards. Most Winter days are about +5C - +10C with nights around -4C - +2C. We don’t get much snow (none this year, usually 2-3 days each Winter), but frost is common as is drizzle and the windchill can reduce temperatures by up to 10C. Over the past 2 years I’ve bought 3 wool/cashmere coats from Canada as they’re warm enough for our coldest days, stylish and affordable. I also have a Patagonia Puffer for walks around the lake or when it’s raining. Cashmere scarves, and merino or cashmere jumpers with a long sleeve T are enough and there’s no need for long John’s/thermals. Boots that cope with the cold/ice combined with thick wool socks round things out. I don’t wear hats, gloves or mittens. Hoods and pockets are sufficient. For me, my Canadian coats (Aritzia) have been a game changer as Australian coats are not quite warm enough for my climate. Once I tried on a Canada Goose coat and almost melted: way too warm for our climate.

@lizasoliman723 Год назад

currently in Chicago it is -1°F/-18°C -and with the windchill... -25°F/-32°C i grew up here & you just blew my mind with *wool sole inserts.* thank you!

@ellybea68 Год назад

Great video and it’s good to see someone cover dressing for the cold in so much detail. I’m from Canberra in Australia. Our winters are mild by your standards but still on the cool side. Winter days can go up to 10-12 degrees in the day and slipping below zero to about minus 5 degrees at night. The big killer is wind chill but I’m sure you have to deal with that too. I live in a black cashmere sweater and black puffy jacket in winter. I walk my dog every morning so a puffy , beanie and gloves are my go-to essentials. I don’t ski any more but my husband still does and we go to overseas ski resorts so I’m used to layering up for the snow. The coldest place I’ve been to is - you guessed it - Canada!

@Biancaleigh693 Год назад

Hello fellow Canberran. The past two days were so cold that these tips are helpful for even now XD

@patjohnson6147 Год назад

Very good! Nice warm waterproof boots. I live in the Arizona desert. When it rains. I should have one of those nice weatherproof warm boots.

@jillianhall8803 Год назад

I've lived in southern California for my whole life so most of these items/layering is not necessary for the winter, but I so enjoyed watching and learning how to layer correctly. So interesting!

@oliviamayumi Год назад

I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil and while it's currently summer, our winters seem like they're getting colder every year. I remember the lowest temps being around 8°C as a kid, now they're around 3°C. Obviously nothing to a Canadian but none of our buildings have heating which means you really have to rely on warm clothes in the winter, even at home or work. I'm especially awful at dealing with the cold though, so these tips are actually useful 😅 I got merino socks for a trip to Patagonia and just ended up wearing them at home all the time. Got an alpaca sweater there too and it's a lifesaver!

@candiceg9338 Год назад

Love this video! So practical! Fleece lined leggings is my no. 1 go to along with a long insulated parka and tall sorel boots. I’m quite a bit north of Toronto and we always get at least 4 feet of snow!!

The climate where I’m from is more moderate, but it still gets to the minus degrees in winter ❄️ I recently bought black leather Chelsea boots which are completely lined in shearling and I couldn’t be happier with them! They have quite good tread and work much better with my outfits style wise than my heavier winter boots

@aciarnable Год назад

I moved from Victoria to Nova Scotia a few years ago and was prompted to invest in my first real winter coat! I personally hate the feeling of long underwear or leggings under my pants, even if they’re thin, so I opted for a down puffer coat that hits just below mid calf. I find this keeps me warm on the coldest winter days when paired with winter boots and allows me to wear pants normally.

@ronnie-lynn Год назад

Perfect timing! We are -36 over here in Alberta this morning! Without windchill. 💨 hope your keeping warm over on the east coast! ❤

@TheLifeTidy Год назад

I live in Montana USA, so my winter wardrobe essentials are very similar to yours. LOL only thing I would add is a pair of cozy warm slippers for around the house and a good travel cup that actually keeps your coffee warm when you are outside. I mean that's not technically part of the wardrobe, but it's definitely an essential accessory. 😊 I am going to look into the WindRiver boots! My oldest son is into ice fishing and frequently invites us and those would be perfect for that!

@puffinpillow9419 8 месяцев назад

Californian now living in Eastern Europe with cold, rainy winters/springs, definitely since last winter when changing to wool socks I was amazed by how much warmer they were than the fluffy, soft polyester socks I thought had been warm! Boy was I wrong. Even thin wool socks are way warmer even though they don't look like it. Will be looking for more natural materials from now on. Have also noticed they're way more breathable (wool, silk, cotton). Nothing beats nature's thousands of years of evolution on those sheep/silkworm cocoons/plants I guess.

@elena_a-2023 Год назад

Thanks for this information. Luckily for me I live in Los Angeles, California, USA. Although, it has been chilly lately (54-60! It is cold for us). I wear light coats in the winter time. Layers is always the best options. Unfortunately I can’t wear wool, alpaca, or cashmere. I am allergic to it. I try cotton and sometimes polyester. I love Uniqlo! One of favorite stores!

@pamb2868 Год назад

Thank you for this video. It’s going to get cold in Georgia where I live. I used to live in Ohio. And we moved south to get away from the cold. I was going to wear a blouse and jeans. But I’m afraid it will be too cold when I go out with the dogs. And to feed the cats. I fond a velour like jogging suit in my closet. I may wear that to stay warm. I could wear my blouse under my blue cashmere sweater with jeans and leggings under my jeans. My daughter and her family always complain it’s too hot in my house. So I will be turning the heat down. So they will freeze me to death, anyway. I might order a pair of fleece liner leggings. Then it will never be this cold here again. But I will buy some, just in case.I might do that, I have puffer jackets. And I’ve seen some wool coats that I like. Thanks for this video. I have forgotten what all to wear when it’s cold. It’s been a few years. And my blood has thinned. I can’t handle the cold anymore. 😊

@SnowPrincessSally Год назад

I live in the northeastern US (initially western Massachusetts, now Pennsylvania) and I've always wanted to experience cold temperatures. These would be good ideas if I ever got to experience -40 or -50 degrees. My friends are often shocked at how cold tolerant I am (even my boyfriend who loves winter is amazed, he was shocked at how much heat I produce the first time he hugged me). I can walk around in minus-20 Celsius temperatures wearing just a sleeveless dress and scarf and feel perfectly comfortable and minus-30 Celsius wearing a hat, coat, and gloves and feeling perfectly fine being outside in it for hours. I've always wanted to experience actual cold, like at least minus-40 or colder, ideally minus-70 or colder.

I live in Wisconsin so this was very helpful. How did I not know about insulated insoles before???? I need some of those! Also..your winter boots are really cute. I have a pair of OLD Rocket Dog boots that are leather/suede and they are getting very stiff and need to be replaced. They are also outdated! Other than that I wear lined Minnetonka moccasins all winter. They are the only thing that keeps my feet warm…but not too warm so that they sweat and then freeze.

@ShadowyLady82 Год назад

I live in Ottawa, Canada and maybe I'm the only one who is this way but I wear my wool coats way more than my parka. I reserve the parka for -25C or lower or if we have blowing snow conditions. Beyond that I just much prefer the look of a wool coat and i wear those layered under with merino wool + more wool. We have many frigid winter days in Ottawa and I hate the look of parkas too much to wear them that often. Like you said, some of it has to do with personal style too. I'm nice and toasty in my wool coats :)
