Tips For Keeping Warm This Winter

Tips For Keeping Warm This Winter

If you know anything about Chicago winters, then you know it can get pretty cold and snowy in the city during the months of November through March. Although I’m not from Chicago, Michigan can get pretty cold during these months as well, as does any northern state! In this blog, I will be sharing my personal strategies and tips on staying warm this winter season!

I personally love winter. I love bundling up to go outside, big cozy sweaters, and all of the activities you can do outside in the snow! However, in order to keep warm while participating in these outdoor winter activities or even just walking from class to class, it is important that you know how to dress to go out. For starters, a big fluffy winter coat is a necessity. I would recommend a bigger coat because although smaller coats may be more fashionable, a big fluffy coat will keep you warmer! Also, for walking in snow, I would recommend a good pair of snow boots. Uggs or Ugg type fluffy boots can be really good for keeping warm in the winter, but snow boots with rubber soles and traction would be the best for walking on snow and ice. Plus, they can be fashionable and practical! Don’t get me wrong, I love my fluffy boots, but prefer snow boots for walking on slippery ice!

In addition to the basic coat and boots, objects like hats, gloves, and scarves are also important accessories for snowy weather! Hats, headbands, or earmuffs are a great way to keep your ears and head warm against the harsh winter winds. Gloves or mittens are a must for keeping your hands from freezing! (If you’re looking for extra warmth, putting your gloved hands into your pockets keep them warmer)! Scarves are also a wonderful winter accessory. Scarves are great because they can be used as a fashion icon while keeping you warm at the same time! A big fluffy infinity or wrap around scarf can keep your neck and face warm while also looking fashionable against your sweater or coat.

Ultimately, the winters in Chicago can get pretty cold. If you follow these tips to some extent, you should be able to keep warm! If you wear everything from boots, sweaters, coats, hats, gloves, and scarves at the same time you can be sure to keep warm while walking to class or enjoying your favorite outdoor activities. Stay warm, Ramblers!
