How to Dress Warmly in Winter

Winter weather can certainly leave you feeling extremely cold, if you aren't equipped for it. Dressing warmly in winter can help you adjust to the frigid temperatures when you step outside. Whether you are braving the cold weather to hit the slopes, take a sleigh ride or just play outdoors, dressing warmly is a must.

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Watch the news in the morning and listen to the weather forecast. Oftentimes, the weather reporter gives details pertaining to wind chills as well as temperatures.
2. Bundle up according to the weather. If you're going to be outside in the cold for a lengthy time, wear items such as windproof and water-resistant jackets and snowpants.
3. Wear wool socks and a nice pair of boots that keep your feet warm in the snow. Insulated boots are generally the best footwear option for dressing warmly in the winter. Make sure that the socks aren't itchy so that you're comfortable while you're active outdoors.
4. Don a hat with earflaps. Hats are one of the most important parts of dressing warmly in the winter. It's true that just about 40 percent of heat loss is through your head. Covering your head in the frigid winter temperatures keeps you from losing too much of that essential body heat.
5. Put on a good pair of gloves or mittens that are water-resistant as well. Gloves keep your hands toasty warm and protect your skin from becoming tough and damaged from the wind and chill.
