Last winter was one of the coldest, wettest, and longest that I can remember, and as a lifelong , I think that’s saying a lot! What I found most difficult about the extreme weather last year was adapting to it despite not being properly prepared for it. Well this year, meteorologists are predicting that winter will be equally tough, and this time around I’m going to make sure to be ready for it! Today I’m unveiling my winter survival tips with Woman Within
First things first: you need to have a good winter jacket! I recommend choosing a style that is down filled and has a hood. The filling will offer maximum warmth and a hood will shield you from snow, sleet and rain should you ever be caught without an umbrella. I also like winter jackets to be slightly longer in length, hitting somewhere below my rear and above my knees. Again, this will offer a ton of warmth and insolation. Lastly I recommend looking for something that is weather proof. When it’s snowing, the last thing you want to be worried about is ruining your coat! The piece that hits all the above marks for me is this down filled parka.
Next up is a good pair of boots! You don’t realize how important it is to have a pair of weatherproof footwear until you get caught in slush and ruin your shoes and pants. Or even worse, until you slip on a patch of ice. I love these weather resistant boots for winter. Not only are they waterproof, they also offer tons of warmth and insolation and have a textured sole to prevent you from slipping!
Last on my winter survival guide shopping list is a pair of gloves and a hat! In extremely cold temperatures it’s imperative that you cover your fingers to avoid frostbite. And it’s true what you’re mother told you, heat does escape from your head, so wearing a hat will keep your body temperature up and will also protect your ears. I love this matching set of hat and gloves for winter!
Those are all my recommended fashion tips for winter survival. What’s on your list to get through the winter?
