Outfits for the Snow | What to Wear When It's Really Cold!

[@nancyharris9909]

Finally!! Someone who truly understands what it is like to live in cold weather. I laugh at some of the bloggers and KZbinrs who live in places like California, Texas, or London when they style "winter" outfits. When you have to walk your dog in sub-zero temperatures a wool coat and Hunter boots won't cut it. My favorite base layer is Uniqulo Heattech...they also have good packable puffer coats. I splurged on a coat by Herno...and I am very pleased with the warmth and style. You can also find terrific warm weather gear at REI and Patagonia. Great job, Erin and have a wonderful weekend! Stay Warm (LOL).

Nancy Harris I had to buy sweaters for my dogs because it's so cold here. They can be pretty expensive and my dogs are fairly large. Do you have any suggestions for a good brand for my XX-Large sized dogs? Thanks!

[@nancyharris9909]

@@tammieparrishmiller3669 I have a smaller dog (14 lbs) and I've purchased Chilly Dog and Canada Pooch brands. Both keep my pup warm. Plus I use Pawz dog boots to protect the paws. Hope that helps!

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

Tammie, I have a small dog and he has gotten 6 hard-wearing winters from a 2 piece RC Pets system: a fleece vest w/a removable wind/water resistant shell. He wears the fleece on its own to keep him warm right after a haircut; the shell on its own when it’s raining or windy, but not too cold; and both together in very cold, snowy conditions. Wasn’t the cheapest choice, but has held up through many washings, and probably the most economical, given durability and versatility..

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

@@nancyharris9909 Thank you! Mine are both large dogs. XX-large sized and both sit and let me bundle them up. It's so sweet! I appreciate the information and I'm going to check it out now. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

@@altitudeiseverything3163 This is something I would definitely be interested in. I love the idea of the wind/water resistant shell! I was thinking I might actually end up making their coats if I couldn't find what I was looking for. It's hard because my furbabies are both XX-large and ordering online is kind of iffy. I really appreciate this information and I wish you a Merry Christmas!

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

I also live at high altitude in Colorado. A couple of additional tips: 1. If you’re going out in actual snow, choose an alternative to jeans, which can get damp and take forever to dry (making you cold!). I substitute either black skinny jeans with a high synthetic content, or simple, black poly fleece tights/leggings that are smooth (and shed snow) on the outside. Athleta always has several great options. 2. Likewise, if there’s snow in the forecast, leave the wool coat at home, because it’ll get wet and you’ll smell like a damp sheep! 3. On moderately cold days, silk base layers are very thin (great under business or dressier outfits), feel luxurious, and move more easily under your clothing. 4. My favorite base layer for bitterly cold weather - as well as for snowshoeing & Nordic skiing - is merino wool. Merino won’t make you feel sweaty, keeps you warm even when damp, is durable, and stays fresh-smelling through highly aerobic activities. Smartwool and Icebreaker are both great brands. 5. If going out in a “dash to the car” outfit, make sure you have a heavy parka & snow boots in the trunk, in case of emergency on the road. Invest in the right gear and it will literally change your life. Get out there and enjoy winter! Btw... this is by far the best video on winter dressing; great job!

[@gabrielamorenoruiz4873]

Omg yes no no no jeans if ur going to be having fun in the snow lol unless u want to either freeze to dead or don’t feel ur limbs 😂... merino wool the best!! That’s what I use when going skying even if I use a shell it gives me enough warmth to stay out in the snow! Lastly a good pare of goretex gloves is a must if going to any winter activities ur normal cute gloves won’t cut it out...

[@mayalakheeram3780]

Hallelujah! Someone who knows what "winter wear" really means! Thank you

[@BusbeeStyle]

Haha... yup!

[@leoonthego5077]

I´ve been searching a video like this for years, all "cold winter outfits" are SO NOT for real cold. This is the best one and most of all a REAL one. congrats!

[@kathy-annecarr9115]

It's so nice to hear someone talk sensibly about dressing for cold weather. The other thing to note about rain boots is that they lose traction below freezing so you potentially risk getting injured if you wear them in extreme cold. My favourite base layer is Ice Breaker. They have a variety of weights and they do ski socks as well as tops and bottoms.

[@NNaadah]

Great video for "real cold". I live in western NY; and yeah, we get cold and we get snow! Couple of things I would add: 1. Sports wear stores call them "glove liners" or "mitten liners". They are basically a "base layer for your hands" and work great for things that are difficult to do with mittens on; like punching in numbers on a gas pump in ridiculously cold weather. They provide enough coverage to protect your hands; but are thin enough to put mittens over. These also are great for when you're walking outside and you start to get warm; but it's still too cold to take your mittens off. 2. Down mittens! Down mittens are a life saver for me. I walk on crutches and I can't just stick my hands in my pockets and walk. Any circumstance where your hands have to be occupied (like dog leash, walking poles, ski poles, crutches) Down mittens and trapper hats! Trapper hats! Yes! I'm "all about" trapper hats. They are the warmest winter hats I have ever found. Especially one's with fur in them. 3. Pack winter hiking gear in your car! THIS IS A MUST. Especially if you are driving, it starts to snow; you go off the road. You could be there for hours; waiting for a tow truck; and you may not be able to run your engine. We all "throw on a couple of layers" and do the "door dash" from the car. This usually works fine until something happens. If you go off the road though; you may have to hike through some snow to get help. Be prepared. I put cleated snow boots; snow pants, winter coat, extra hat and gloves in a "carry on" bag in my car. I have one for me and one for my son. Besides your normal "road hazard assistance" gear; pack a "winter storm bug out of the car bag" for every household member; to store in the car during cold weather. Throw snack bars in it too. That bag might save your life.

***MY TIP*** My mom always told me to tuck in the base layer to keep your back warm. I live in the Philadelphia area, which can get pretty cold in the winter, especially when standing on a train platform at 8:00 am or just walking around the city at night.

[@chocmilkshake24]

Gail Leone YES! Tucking in keeps heat sealed in. I also find that applying thick lotion onto your body also helps keep that heat sealed in.

[@bonnieskokan6528]

Same for me. Please

[@xdxdxdxd4575]

Actually it is the same almost. You have a layer (as many as you want) which is suitable to wear under the shirt, if you wear that (I don't know what is you regular outfit). Than comes the shirt. Than the jumper. You should fold out the collar onto the sweater. You can tuck the shirt in, it is hanging' on the style of the shirt and the pullover. If the shirt and the sweather is like oversized, than leave it like that, and if it is more bodyshape follower, than it is better to tuck in.

[@BarbaraZDovey]

I live in the UK and despite the lack of snow, the rain and wind is real in January, so definitely a warm waterproof coat or parka - Seasalt Cornwall have some amazing ones where you can add or remove inner puffer layer and have effectively 3 coats in one. Highly recommended. Take care Erin xxx

[@jango1970]

Thank you, from a Canadian, for showing winter outfits for those who have very cold winters (below zero degrees Celsius). This is the first time I have watched a “winter wardrobe” video for what I consider “winter” (in my experience). However, I would suggest is that you mention specific temperatures, it would be less confusing if you specify whether you are using Celsius or Fahrenheit. At first, when you said zero degrees or in the teens, I thought you meant Celsius. Later on, you said 40s or 50s, so I guess you are using Fahrenheit. Thank you for a great video; very very informative.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Sharon! We have very cold winters here in Colorado. All temperatures are in Fahrenheit since I'm based in the US. xo

Excellent tips. I am a 67 yr old native Chicagoan where we have winters. I h-a-t-e being cold. I abhorred last winter's 'polar vortex' - I had to go out in that cold to drive my hubby to physical therapy (for some reason he scheduled his surgery in winter)...That mittens tip is great - did not realize mittens are warmer - I always wore leather gloves lined in cashmere..the fleece headband is a good tip, too. I crochet my hats and recently got a hat commission, I'll add a fleece headband from now on. I 'run cold' so my fave discoveries are to 'always wear an undershirt/base layer, only buy coats, jackets and sweaters with hoods, wear merino wool socks, and boots with Thinsulate. During the polar vortex to keep my feet warm, in edition to merino socks and my insulated boots, I also wrapped my feet in thin mylar from a survival blanket.....

Canada Goose , sorrel boots , tights under alpaca socks , gloves under mittens, a silk scarf then the heavy wool. I found wearing a silk scarf stops the wool scratching and pilling.

Thank you so much, Rose! You are so sweet! I'm so glad that you find my videos helpful! xo

I just started double coating it.. and its amazing. I have a super soft down coat from Lole which is never quite warm enough on its own, so I'm just throwing on a big oversized red trench with a belt or my long black hooded wool coat (that one is super warm) or even my light puffer jacket from Winners boys section with both coats open or the skirt button up of the long down coat.. its crazy comfy and warm and looks pretty fly too! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're SO welcome! Sometimes you have to be creative! xo

[@mars72174]

Erin! My girl, always killin it! You are sooooo right!!! A Pennsylvania girl here and between wind chill factor, frigid temps and high humidity...wheeeeeeew, sweet baby HAYSOOOOOS! It ISSSS COLD! People don't realize that humidity can really kill you in the cold, especially the lungs, for those of us with chronic lung disease. That snood/infinity scarf covering the face is super important. Love all these looks and you just proved that one doesn't have to look like a dork in freezing temps! MUUUUAH! 😘👏😍 Thank you!

[@beautyfashionandfauna6667]

Thank you for making this, someone who understands what cold really is and how you have to dress. Below is what I used to stay warm when I lived in Fairbaks, AK. The L.L. Bean Baxter State Parka is great and can be worn to temps of -45°F! It comes in petite. I also love flannel lined jeans. My boots are by Khombu, which work with U.S. ski team. My winter cold rated sneakers with traction are by North Face. If you get get your hands on alpaca they make insoles, hats, blankets - just watch the blend, not too much polyester, or you lose the warmth factor. Patagonia makes a popular packable puffer.

Just found your çhannel and this is so important for us on the northern hemisphere just now. Great tips on the close body layering. But I never thought to do the fitted puffa and an wool coat over the top. Genius! I love a long camel wool coat but alone, they are just not warm enough in -14deg celcius.... combined with the layers. Great idea. I agree on the midlayer being natural. Cashmere or even merino wool. Odlo do great merino wool mid layers. For me the thin puffa... I would go for JOTT. Just Over the Top. For lined wooly pom pom hats I love Herman or Barts. Stylish and glam, but super warm. And I have to admit to sticking with the north Face or Sorrel boots for warmth. Rule of thumb for me....if you have to walk on snow then buy a boot with a good thick sole..1 inch. The more padding between you and the snow. Oh and btw...in extreme cold....I carry those small heat warmer packets with the volcanic powder that you shake up to activate. Slip them down the front of your jacket to stay warm at an outdoor evening drink. Xx

So glad you enjoyed this one and found it helpful. Thanks for sharing your tips! xo

[@Fattyfatskates]

This is a great video!! I'm from California and I'm going to Canada in January. I have no clue with how to deal with real winter (we get "cold" here when temps get down in the 50s-60s). I was going to take rain boots with me instead of buying real snow boots but you've convinced me otherwise haha! I was also gonna just do ear muffs and hoodie but considering taking taking a hat now!

[@BusbeeStyle]

It is most important to keep your feet and your head warm. I would definitely recommend a pair of real winter snow boot (something like this... rstyle.me/+s2CYBWZih4Rckq1bNyKZqw ) and a real hat. Enjoy your trip! xo

[@Fattyfatskates]

@@BusbeeStyle Thank you so much!

[@stephaniecorona3990]

Im going to canada on the 18th ! Im from los angeles , i have no idea what im getting myself into lmao 🥴 i was literally just going to take my uggs and hoodies and a jacket 😂

[@AlysiasArtStudio]

Yes! I just moved to northern Minnesota:) I’ve collected some very warm pieces, many boots too! Thank you

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Alysia! You will definitely need some of these tips in northern Minnesota! Stay warm! xo

[@AlysiasArtStudio]

Busbee Style thank you! I literally just showed my boyfriend the videos 😊 we laughed and had a great time watching and taking notes:) I’m really in love with my boots, I have at least 6 pair, I took a lot of time selecting them and was a bit of an investment, my favorite things ever! We have a ski mountain here, I’ve just started to go, tubing was my first thing lol:) Having the time of my life here! Polar fest is this week, they built an ice castle right by my house, I’ll use some of your tips when I go! Thank you!!!

[@pamelaandpabloortiz6250]

Knocked it out of the ballpark sweet Erin ! Devoted Wisconsin fan here , so very appreciative for this fabulous video 👏👏👏❤️Pam

[@TheNicoliyah]

Love this video, I really struggle not to look like a bag lady in the damp London weather and these tips will definitely help. For an affordable base layer I have been wearing Uniqlo heat tech undergarments. Seems to be working well but it hasn't got supercold here yet.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Awesome tip! TFS!

[@heatherp7836]

Ive been wanting that 'Russian hat/headband' look since last yr. And of course Erin busts it out like a boss! So i clicked the link and purchased the one from Etsy. Shes THE NICEST woman who made it the easiest decision to 'buy now'. So excited! Thanks Erin for always giving great recs and supporting entrepreneurial women!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Yay!! ~Erin xo

[@nimochathurangi]

Watched this before moving into Canada. well detailed and will try these in the coming winter. Thanks a lot for all the effort put into give us an idea of how to face it. Thanks again!

[@gabrielamorenoruiz4873]

Pajar is a great pair of boots! Love them also for stylish jackets I like Rudsak.. great video for real cold weather!! ❄️🇨🇦❄️

[@BusbeeStyle]

They do make some really nice warm boots. Thanks for sharing.

[@venomer9047]

Thank you! I live in Syracuse and grew up near Watertown too so these layering tips are handy. I have been layering a thin puffer vest under a wool coat and it has been so cozy and not overly bulky. Now if I could just get my teens to put on a proper winter coat!

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

Vera, you’re right! Vests are indispensable! They easily take any coat up to the next level of warmth. Keep your core warm, and you’re warmer all over! 👍

[@morrisonmorrison3505]

Thank you for this. You presented styles and function I'm looking for and can afford. I live in Maryland. Right now we have cold, damp weather....raining these past few days with cold mornings and evenings/nights...milder afternoons. I'm and older mom. I prefer Comfort and warmth over trends...of course I want a cute coat!!! Boots, mittens, hat gear are all on point. Able to find what we liked and needed without breaking the bank. Thank you so much. I was tired of wearing hoodies with little jackets because I didnt have a clue on where else to look. Help on youtube...from some women are mostly about trends that do not work when held to winter weather. Makes no sense to freeze my buns off to look cute! I thank you a million times. Enjoy your day!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad it was helpful! xo

[@traceywright5643]

I love Save The Duck. I got one of their long line puffa coats a couple of years ago and it's one of the warmest coats I've ever had. It uses Primaloft technology so it's both light and warm. Lots of love from Yorkshire, England x

[@KO-ev7yo]

I can see your very kind and caring personality through this video. I’m going to very cold place for my Christmas and new year vacation so it was really helpful! Thank you so much♥️

[@BusbeeStyle]

I’m SO glad I could help!! And thank you for your kind words! ~Erin xo

[@avenezia]

Loving how you make it all look so stylish, while providing all different price points!!!

[@tcdewijk3511]

I live near the great lakes-so damp cold. In the last couple of years I have kept the top layer white so that drivers can see me when it gets dark

[@heatherbuggar]

Silk is also an amazingly warm base layer. Great video!

[@hazelmeldrum5860]

I live in Scotland so along with the cold, I fact in something which is rainproof bought a craghopper emley reaches below my knees and with a puffer on a especially cold day keeps me warm and dry. Loved this video best on this type of weather

[@goodwillbunny5773]

Thank you for this video. Love the puffy outerwear. I spent 66 winters in Minnesota. Jeans did not work for me in the bitter cold Minnesota winters. Denim has no texture and jean fabric gets very cold.

[@thehipchickonline]

Great video, Erin! After to moving To Minnesota 3 years ago, we splurged and bought Canada Goose coats. If you ever wonder if they are worth the money- they are!!! I can wear my coat in extreme cold and it keeps my core so warm that I sometimes get hot. Stay warm this holiday season 😘

[@kimropp3696]

I know this is an older video, but I just have to add my thanks. I'm in the northern Rockies and it is frequently subzero here, with feet of snow on the ground. It can be difficult to feel like anything other than a marshmallow day in, day out for 5-6 months per year!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you!!! 😊😘

[@leilac4312]

I loved this video. Hoping you do a winter 2022/2023 version.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great idea!! xo

[@randommusings4957]

Totally off topic, I really like what you've been doing with your hair the last couple of videos. It looks great! 🌻🌻🌻

[@TheNicoliyah]

Ha ha I was thinking the same!😂😍

[@kimberleyb4002]

Me too!

[@adrianademarco7076]

Same here 😁

Finally a correct winter fashion video. On a snowy day I wear a woolen hat and a hoodie on top and tie a scarf around the hoodie to keep it steady and tights inside my pants and hiking boots which keep you steady, dry and warm in the snow. I have leather gloves with synthetic fur inside them for the extra cold day. I bought them on a trip to nothern Greece and they work fine.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great ideas, Charikleia! If anyone knows COLD it's me! I grew up in Watertown, New York and now live in the Colorado mountains! xo

[@ClioD]

@@BusbeeStyle Well I am an Athenian who hikes a lot. The cold in Athens is dry, no humidity, and it snows once in a while. But as Greece is the second mountainous country, a hiking lover like me, learns to function in very cold weather. Congratulations for your video once again.

[@SusanaXpeace2u]

We have that windchill thing in Ireland too, the temperature might be 9 degrees which doesn't sound that bad but when the wind is blowing too, it's miserable.

[@deborahrosen3324]

This was such a useful video! Especially for those in the Northeast right now. Thank you 🙏. I own the Moncler long puffer coat with hood and fur trimmed collar. I think it’s amazing for warmth. Thanks to you I’ll be adding the thermal undergarment 😃. Xoxo 😘 Deb

[@BusbeeStyle]

I always look at Montcler but worry about cost. You think it’s worth the investment?

[@MsStellaMark]

Busbee Style I have multiple coats to try to stay warm in nyc between moncler wool rich and mackage. Of the 3 mackage has 90%down where as the other two are either 70%/80%

[@patchesneshell1388]

Wow. I never realized how much clothing is need to keep warm in very cold weather. I'm from California and cold to us is 40s. And that's about 2xs a year where I'm at. Thanks for the video.

[@mj5885]

When you mentioned Texas cold that made me laugh. I’m born and raised in Texas and I would be burning up in these outfits lol. Our winter is only like 50 degrees 😂

[@lldunn97]

Mia Johnson 50° here in Philadelphia is like jeans and maybe a long sleeve shirt!

[@anginha3d]

it's sooo weird to read this when you are used to Celsius lol

[@eckat5]

I’m a little late to the game, but I’m about to do some winter traveling so I’ve been binging videos like this! I loved the headband under the beanie tip, as well as the pairing a puffer with a wool coat- which I never even considered! I live in northern Ohio, so it gets pretty chilly up here, and I definitely stubbornly wear my wool peacoat a lot of the time, because I just absolutely love how it looks! But for a good utility winter coat (especially for snowy weather or skiing) I got one from the brand Columbia, that I think will also be perfect for travel! It’s a parka coat that comes with a wind/water proof shell that has some light insulation, as well as a light detachable puffer liner. Paired together, they have been warm enough for any weather I’ve encountered, but they can also be worn separately for even more versatility! And since both layers are not too thick, it can be packed very easily!

[@sueg7767]

Great video. Yes, it's all about layering and dressing properly to get through these cold New England winters!

[@anessarivera]

Hey, thank you so so much for this extremely helpful video. I'm from Tucson, AZ and I'm moving to Chicago. Complete opposite in climate lol and I've been trying to prepare and learn as much as possible. All things warm but also try to look a little cute. This REALLY helped me out!!! Thanks again, you're the best!!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Oh wow!! Good luck with the move!! xo

[@lea1285]

Yes!!! Finally a great winter wear video. I'm in Idaho & it's currently 30 degrees. I moved here from California 3 years ago & im just starting to figure out how to stay warm :) such a helpful video, thank you

[@BusbeeStyle]

Yay! That’s so awesome! No reason you can’t keep your Cali cool in Idaho, just requires a bit more strategy!

[@ari261197]

I live in Canada and I 100% agree with this. That is how we stay warm in -30°C. To this I would just add that Mountain Warehouse has really good winter jackets. Mine is 2 in 1, a light puffer to which you can add a waterproof layer with a hoodie. Cashmere and Merino Wool are a go to. Club Monaco has amazing pieces which often go on sale.
