In order to dress for the winter of 2022 in America, use this advice to select clothing that includes a coat, boots, thick pants, accessories, and anything else you could need to stay warm.
So as winter draws near, the weather is becoming a little chilly, and you're from a place where it doesn't get nearly as cold? Don't worry; this helpful guide will help you prepare ready for your first American winter. If you adhere to these straightforward guidelines and take care of yourself, the cold may be a lot of fun! Even snow may be a lot of fun (at least for a day until it turns to sludge).The most crucial thing you should do is purchase the proper winter equipment. Yes, you must do so since, sorry to say, your current wardrobe probably won't do.
Make sure to choose a quality winter coat.
The most crucial item you can purchase is a decent coat because it's going to get cold.If I could offer one piece of advice to help you choose a coat, it would be to avoid buying the one that is the cheapest. I'm not suggesting you spend the most money either, but purchase one that will last and complement whatever you wear (or at least most).
If you want to layer, get a wool coat or a wool-cashmere coat. If you want a parka, look for something with high-quality down that has a "fill power" of 500 or more (I sure sound like I know what I'm talking about!). You'll be wearing this almost every day, so make sure it fits by trying it on in person or purchasing it through Amazon so you can return it if it doesn't.
What bottoms ought I to wear?
A thermal layer should be worn underneath your jeans, pants, or skirts to start. Layer at least two pairs of tights, including fleece-lined tights, if you're wearing a skirt or dress. This is fine for going in and out, but you wouldn't want to use it for any outdoor activities like that.Pick an outer layer for outdoor activities, such as a pair of fleece-lined winter pants. They will keep you cozy and toasty while giving you ample mobility to engage in activities like snowshoeing. They don't, however, resemble voluminous snow trousers. Nobody will know these are thick winter pants if you wear them inside. Another common winter option that you may wear alone or beneath your jeans is a pair of fleece or merino wool leggings.
Winter clothing must include thermals and additional thermals.
This is the trendiest piece of advice out there.Go to Uniqlo (my favourite store) and purchase some HEATTECH (for men, and for women). The very best. The "ULTRA WARM" items are my preference, but it's your call. I personally wear them every single day underneath everything, so it's definitely worth the money. The best thing to do is build layers, and with this as your central strategy, you're good to go.
For the snow, you'll require some waterproof boots.
You'll have to work within your own means moving forward, but I'd suggest purchasing a pair of boots that are pretty high-quality (you're starting to get the picture; I know they're pricey).
Sorel, LL Bean, and Timberland are three companies that are frequently cited.
Gloves to prevent the fingers from breaking and from freezing in the winter wind.
How about your fingers?You should probably acquire some gloves because if not, they might come off.To avoid constantly turning them on and off and making them essentially useless, try to pick one that is compatible with your cell phone.
For the winter rain, you might require something waterproof.
You might think about purchasing a shell from Uniqlo or a similar retailer simply for those occasions when you need an additional useful layer because it will likely be damp and rainy in addition to being snowy.Purchase a umbrella to shield yourself.
When a waterproof coat isn't the most fashionable choice.
BUT PLEASE, IF YOU LIVE IN A CITY LIKE NEW YORK, DON'T BUY A DAMN GOLF UMBRELLA. NONE OF THOSE HUGE THINGS NEED TO POKE ME IN THE EYE.It will happen when you stray to a bar that is too close to the Hudson, so make sure you get one that can blow inside out. Again, Amazon has a tonne of them. There, it's so windy!
The finishing touch would be a nice scarf and beanie or "hat."
The simple additions of a scarf and a beanie can keep you extra warm. Again, stick with natural fibres for the greatest quality because they'll keep you warm without making you perspire (which is a major issue when you board the train or enter a business and it suddenly gets quite heated).If I could make one request, it would be to buy some colourful clothing in addition to the grey and black. You'll be astonished at how much better you feel while wearing a brightly coloured coat, brightly coloured scarf, or orange beanie!
What else will I need during the winter?
Sunglasses: If it's sunny and snowing, you should use sunglasses to reduce glare.Lip balm with SPF: Purchase one if you'll be spending any time outside.Lotion: Bring your favourite lotion with you to keep your skin hydrated since the cold and wind can harm it.Water bottle: If you're engaging in outdoor activities, keep the rest of your group hydrated with a water bottle.Purse: A crossbody bag is more secure on your shoulder while you're moving around and will go well over your winter coat. Leather always has a fashionable appearance and can withstand snow and sleet better than a fabric bag.It's important to remember that wearing thick fabrics won't always make you feel warmer. You need to strategically layer your items and choose the right cold-weather fabrics.Have a happy and blessed winter season .
