These layers hold air between them, each one adding a bit more warmth. Engaging in winter sports? Opt for thinner layers to prevent overheating. When choosing to do city activities or simply taking a casual stroll, thicker in-between layers are in order. Choose a woollen sweater or a hoodie paired with warm trousers. Remember, tight-fitting garments might feel uncomfortable with multiple layers – size up or pick out something loose. Also, snug layers are less warm, as there is less air insulation.

This will affect your choice of the outer layer. For example, if you are hitting the slopes, choose a coat with a “snow lock” – featuring stretch cuffs to keep the snow out. Regardless of the activity, the best coats are windproof and waterproof. The warmth does not depend on the thickness of your attire but rather on the quality of the materials. Look out for filling materials such as down and feathers for optimal warmth, although there are plenty of other materials and options to choose from. And don't forget, a hood is a must-have feature in any good coat.

Not only are these materials more sustainable, but they're also easy to take care of. Alternatively, you can opt for technical materials designed to move moisture off the skin – popular among winter sports enthusiasts, from skiing to hiking to ice skating. If you are unsure, stick with mulesing-free merino wool.
