With a brand-new year, its time to freshen up your wardrobe, and to buy any clothing essentials you need to help keep you warm all year round. But what items of clothing are an essential?

 

 

Base layer

An item of clothing that is an essential throughout the year is a base layer. They are the initial layer when layering up in the colder months as they help to wick away any moisture and insulate your body. In the warm summer months, they are also ideal for keeping you cool and comfortable whilst out in the sun. With base layer options such as leggings, t-shirts and long-sleeved tops, there are lots of choices for the different weather conditions you may face. Base layers such as Heat Holders are a great, inexpensive option for keeping you warm and comfortable. They are also thin enough to fit under other layers comfortably whilst also still keeping the heat in.

 

Fleece

Another all-year essential is a good quality fleece. Not only are they a perfect mid-layer to wear under a coat during the colder months, but they are also great to wear on chilly Spring/Summer days. Thanks to their high neck and thin material, fleeces are ideal for keeping the chill out whilst also being a great, lightweight insulating layer. If you are wanting more of a jacket style fleece with a full-zip, the Regatta Garrian fleece is perfect warm yet thin and lightweight option. However, of you are after more of a pullover, jumper style, the Regatta Thompson fleece is an ideal alternative.

 

 

Coat

The one essential most may already have in their wardrobe is a coat. The final layer in the layering system, coats and jackets are perfect in all weather conditions and help protect you from snow, wind and rain. For maximum protection, make sure your coat of choice is waterproof to keep you warm and dry. In an ideal situation, you are best with two types of coats. One for winter that is warm, insulated and waterproof, and another that is thinner and lightweight for the warmer months. An ideal jacket to throw on in the Spring or Summer is the Trespass Lenek Softshell Jacket – a lightweight, hooded jacket to keep you warm on chilly Spring/Summer days and nights. If you are after a warmer, heavy-duty coat for winter, the Regatta Samiyah Coat – a waterproof, insulated yet breathable coat ideal for wearing in rain, snow or wind.

 

Walking Boots

Not just essential for walking or hiking, walking boots are an everyday essential if you want maximum comfort. Walking boots are a great footwear option for keeping your feet warm, dry and comfortable no matter the weather. They are especially helpful in the snow and ice thanks to the extra grip sole design. If you’re after a pair of walking boots that are perfect for all activities and weather conditions, and provide maximum comfort and protection, Merrell is your place to go.

 

 

Socks

Something that might not seem like an absolute essential is socks, or more so the type of socks. A good quality pair of socks are important, especially when doing any outdoor activity, as they help to keep your feet warm, dry and comfy. Specially designed socks like the Sealskinz All-Weather Socks can help prevent your feet from sweating and rubbing in your shoes.

 

With the help of these five clothing essentials, you will be ready to face any weather conditions with maximum protection and comfort.
