The Best Cold-Weather Materials That Make You Feel And Look Warm

by Vishnu N. Digital Marketing
It's the winter season, which means cuffing, pumpkin-flavoured lattes, and frantically Googling if frostbite can kill you. It's also a time when the fabrics used to produce your clothes are more important than ever especially of daily use, navy colorblock jacket. When the mercury goes into the single digits, it's time to replace light-weight fabrics like linen with one of these more durable options.

•    CASHMERE
Cashmere is a costly investment, but it will pay off in the long run. It's three times as warm as wool (meaning you won't need as many layers to stay warm), and the strands are a fraction of the width of synthetic hair, making it an unrivalled joy on your skin.

That is, as long as it is free of impurities. If there isn't a tag, you can scrape it between your palms to see if it's good. It's cut with lambs wool if it feels slick, so don't pay top bucks for it.

While that cashmere trench coat remains a fantasy, stick to jewellery. If money is tight, a cashmere scarf – or a wool-cashmere combination – will keep you warm and give a contrast to the fibres in your clothing.

•    FLEECE
A few decades ago, any card-carrying participant in club men's clothing would have been unlikely to seek style advice from the world of outdoor sports. Nonetheless, leather boots, cagoules, and even fleece have tumbled down the mountain and onto the ramp in the stream.

The latter, for a good reason. Polar fleece (as it was originally known) was invented in 1979 as a less expensive alternative to wool, and it has demonstrated over the years that it can keep you warm.

A fleece jacket is essential throughout the winter, as any seasoned cragsman would tell the reader, and maybe dressed up with dark denim pants and sleek and modern sneakers.

•    WOOL FROM A MERINO ANIMAL
Wool, nature's amazing insulator, has been cherished for millennia in all of its forms: mohair, twill, wool roving, and so on, for its ability to withstand harsh environments in colder locations.

If you can't afford cashmere, Merino wool is a good alternative. That's almost as good as the more expensive options, plus it's super-absorbent and comfy to wear, making it an excellent foundation layer. Just ask the bikers who prefer it to space-age materials.

It is not, however, limited to athletic apparel. A Merino roll neck will keep your body temperature in check on those difficult-to-dress-for transitional days. Merino T-shirts, on the other hand, are the ideal layering garment, keeping you warm while looking considerably more stylish than a jacket.

•    SHEARLING
When hostile forces approach, the army can always be counted on to offer practical men's apparel that keeps the user warm and comfortable.

Shearling (also known as sheepskin) was first used to add padding to aircraft coats during WWII, making it great for staying warm throughout the colder months.

Use plush stuff (or faux 'borg', for a more budget-friendly alternative) as a lining on overcoats, then pair with a roll neck. The return of 1970s style is leading the charge these days, so use it as a lining on overcoats, then pair with a roll neck.

•    FLANNEL
Flannel is a durable fabric, as one might expect from a cloth associated with the American outdoors and worn by cowboys, hunters, and lumberjacks alike.

Fine metal bristles are used to create a 'nap' on the fabric, which gives it a particular look by elevating the strands that give it its softness. Aside from texture, the raised material traps air and heat, making it an excellent cure to cold weather.
