Basic things to pack for winter months

What to include - add ins
The best way you can pull off skinny jeans, as well as boots in freezing temperatures, is to wear an invisible layer of thermal clothing. Wearing long underwear underneath the jeans can do the trick in keeping you warm. Consider bringing a pair of thermal leggings or thermal underwear set and one long-sleeved thermal top to make your winter trip a comfy experience. Bodtek offers you the best quality thermal wear.

What to leave out - swap out heavy clothing
Sweaters are cozy and chic, however, they tend to take up a lot of space in your bag compared to other tops. Consider swapping up four or three tops where you would have packed two hoodies or sweaters. If you love wearing bulky sweaters with leggings or jeans while traveling, replace the sweaters with tops. You can have one sweater and the rest are thermal tops. You will wear the sweater over a thermal top.  

Keep black, it’s fashionable
Black clothes don't go out of fashion. They are easy to match and look chic. They never look dirty easily, so you can wear them a couple of times before washing them. So, consider packing a pair of black pants that you can pair with a t-shirt to give you that casual outfit. And when you pair them with a sweater, you have the perfect attire for a dinner outing.

Get boots, not shoes – don’t forget winter socks

They are travel friendly and match almost any clothing you wear. You can also comfortably walk for hours in slip-on boots and they keep the feet feeling toasty and dry compared to flats or sneakers. Don't forget to pack some warm, lightweight socks to add warmth to your feet.

These clothing tips for winter can make your trip to Northern Europe a comfortable and stylish one. Make sure that you watch the weight of your luggage and pack thermals that are lightweight and designed to offer comfort like Bodtek’s thermals.
