myBagFactory tips: Outfits for cold winter days

Brrr, it's cold outside. Yes, it really is winter in Germany and Austria at the moment. It's finally getting nice and cold, and there's plenty of snow in many areas. Right now, we love being outside and feeling the cold winter air on our faces. Long walks through the snow or ice skating are a great change from the stresses of everyday life and help you be in a better mood and more balanced. Of course, that is, if you don't freeze! To really enjoy being outside in winter, you should wear the right clothing so that you don't get cold after just a short time and just want to go home. In this blog post, we want to inspire you and show you a few winter outfits that not only allow you to be outside in any weather without freezing, but that will also make you look really good. With these ideal outfits for cold days, you'll definitely want to stay outside all winter long!

Wrapped up warm with down jackets

When temperatures drop below 0°C, it can be difficult to dress warmly. Often, layering up doesn't help if your winter jacket isn't warm enough or isn't completely waterproof. Our secret weapon against really cold days is down jackets. These thick jackets are a real must-have for winter because they have a high heat capacity and don't let your body heat escape. The jackets are also lightweight, and the exceptional warmth of the down keeps you toasty warm even in sub-zero temperatures. You can complement them with a wool hat, thick gloves, and well-lined winter boots. Shoes lined with real wool are also a good choice here, as they keep your feet particularly warm. When it comes to shoes, you should definitely make sure they're waterproof; if your feet get wet, even the warmest outfit won't help you stay cold. Our tip for anyone who's always cold: Get yourself a down coat. This way, not only will your upper body benefit from the warmth of the down, but your legs will also be warmed, almost like being under a thick, cozy blanket 😊.

Functionality can also look good!

It's primarily the winter sports enthusiasts among us who wear functional clothing. But even though winter jackets and snow pants are essential items for all outdoor athletes thanks to their functionality and built-in avalanche signal, these functional jackets often don't look quite as stylish. But don't worry, you can spice up this type of winter jacket with a chic hat and a matching scarf. Or you can combine the jacket with a beautiful small leather shoulder bag and a cool hat. This outfit is more suited to a winter hike than to skiing or snowboarding. For these winter sports, the focus should be solely on the functionality of your clothing.

When it gets warmer and the snow slowly turns to rain

You've just woken up and happily gazed out your window at your snow-covered garden, and now the snow is already starting to melt again. Yes, we also think that the long-awaited winter always passes far too quickly. The snow disappears, it rains, and it's not particularly warm, but it's no longer icy cold either. Especially in this transitional season, it's always hard to know what to wear. For such wet days, we recommend a waterproof jacket. It doesn't necessarily have to be a winter jacket. With a fleece jacket underneath, you won't get cold, and you won't have to sweat when a few warm rays of sunshine do appear. Don't be afraid to add a bit of color; you'll be an eye-catcher even on dreary days! You can then combine the outfit with a headband if it's still a bit colder. Waterproof shoes are also practical. Just wear thick, cozy socks with them, which you can also wear over your pants to prevent cold feet. The finishing touch to this outfit is a backpack, where you can carry something to drink, for example, and where you can store your gloves, headband, and fleece jacket when it gets too warm. Our favorite is the CHARLY backpack made of buffalo leather. It's not too big or heavy, but has enough space for everything you need. The best part: its light, natural color goes with both bright and muted colors. So, there are no limits to your color choices for your outfit.

Our absolute favorite this winter

Last but not least, we'd like to introduce you to our favorite outfit this winter. We think the combination of a cozy teddy coat with a cool leather hat, casual pants, and a chic large leather backpack is simply gorgeous. With this cool outfit, you'll definitely get through the winter in style. The outfit is especially suitable for short walks on dry days, for everyday wear in the city, and for the commute to university or work.

As you can see, there's a suitable outfit for every occasion, every weather, and every temperature in winter that will not only allow you to spend more time outside but will also make you look great. We hope you have fun recreating this style. Enjoy the cold winter days to the fullest and spend as much time outdoors as possible!
