Seriously cold people what will you be wearing for the next 6 plus months?

[BigButtons]

Would love to hear about specific brands or even tips that enable to function.

Bought a 'dull as ditch-water' grey, crew necked top from Tesco (£10) 2 sizes bigger than my dress size, to wear with brushed cotton PJ bottoms.
Went back yesterday and bought a second, identical top.

Might still buy a third - it's so cuddly.

Indoors, a padded gilet over a jumper with a camisole underneath.,

My lovely sheepskin house boots from Celtic sheepskin, made in Cornwall from U.K. skins. They keep my feet toasty warm whatever the temperature.

Out of doors when it’s really cold, a pair of thicker tights under jeans or leggings make a huge difference.

Uggs
Merino anything in light layers
Cashmere
Turtle doves wrist warmers
Plug in heated blanket
Ugg slippers
Fleece lined leggings
Mountain Warehouse down filled longline jacket
Lands end down gilet underneath = double down

Dh bought me silk underwear last Christmas. Silk thermals Life changing, luxurious to wear and thin enough to wear under anything.

Not exactly something to wear but I had one of these for xmas a couple of years ago and love it

Not what you are asking OP but it's really worth getting thyroid and Vitamin D levels checked.

Where do you all live that gets so cold? I love the winter and hate the summer. It just feels so muggy and mild all the time. Except the odd week in winter here and there. I'm in the Midlands. I love the sound of thick jumpers and hot water bottles.

I used to live in Scotland and I miss it....

Vit D I take everyday- thiorid? Our GP services are next to non existent atm sadly 😟

Merino wool base layer, another synthetic base layer, trousers,3 pairs socks base layers on torso, woolly cardi from the charity shop, then: three fleeces for going out or a fleece and thick woolly cardi for home.

Hat and scarf and snood for really cold times. Wool if possible.

Argh copy fail.
Go outdoors have merino leggings in kids age 15-16 for £11 a pair and mens small merino tops for £16 so I've ordered 2 of each. I'm size 10 so hopefully they will fit.

Mountain warehouse do fleece lined leggings that are amazingly warm.

Heat holder socks.

Fleece lined leggings under jeans.

Layers!

Decent outerwear like a good jacket that covers your kidneys.

Thermal tights,
long sleeved vests,
fleecy leggings,
thick socks,
cashmere jumpers (when I'm not at school)
Pretend Oodie from Amazon
Electric blanket on bed
Teddy bear fleece bedding
Sheepskin slippers (Celtic)
Fleece throws on sofas.

I often find thermals are too short in the body/leg- I'm no giant at a very average 5ft 5. I've tried M&S, mountain warehouse, Primark, matalan and Amazon. Can anyone recommend anywhere?

Bamboo or silk under layers ( long johns)

This is actually good advice. I have an under active thyroid as do a lot of my family. Feeling a lot colder than other people in the same environment is a very common symptom. Sorry about the doctors situation it’s the same around here. But if you do feel very cold plus tired and constipated it’s worth pursuing.

@Fairyliz I am quite small- have been all my life. Can you be small and have an under active thyroid?

Loving the tips. I already do a lot of them.
The issue I have with thick wool jumpers is that they itch and I can’t stand it. I have a couple of woolovers ones that I don’t wear for that reason even though they are super warm.
I wear a lot of second hand cashmere but nothing quite beats a thick non itchy wool jumper. Do they exist?
I recently bought a Lisa Angel blanket scarf. It is one of the warmest things I have ever worn.

Can anyone recommend fleece lined leggings for 4 year olds please? I see some on H&M but wondered if any are particularly warm and thick.
I second the fluffy lined leggings for adults from Primark, they're good for restless legs.

@BigButtons
It’s a common misconception that an under active thyroid causes weigh gain. Yes it does in some cases but not all.
I was in my 50’s post menopausal, 5ft 6in and 8 stone 10lb when I was diagnosed so not big.

Outdoors layers with a thermal base, jeggings and a good boots.

Indoors I don’t mind comfort at night like a blanket or oodie but would hate that in the day so normal loungewear and the heating on of the thermostat dips. I’d rather cut back elsewhere than be cold as it makes me miserable.

@Fairyliz it’s worth having a blood test just to check. I am not sure if they are doing them atm though. I can’t even get through to the receptionists at our surgery, but will try and get one organised.

I seriously feel the cold. But l can only wear cotton or silk. Every other thing makes me itchy.

Winter is expensive😔

Long warm cardigans on at home all the time.

Just ordered an ocoopa hand warmer from Amazon. Figure I can also shove it up my jumper!
