Thermal layers under everything!!! Hot tea warms me from the inside. Scarf under the hoodie creates a seal and keeps the warm in.

 

Seconding thermal layers. If it is really cold I wear thermals, a onesie and a thick dressing gown when indoors. Hot drinks and soups are comforting as well as wrapping up in a fleece blanket or duvet with a fleece covering.

 

layers, i only drink warm beverages, and if my hands get numb i run them under hot water

 

for inside: heated blanket/heating pad, tea, broth
for outside: i just have a warm coat i thrifted a while ago and i wear zip up hoodies and then something under that. i like having the layers be removable bcs i dont want to sweat from walking or going back inside bcs even a little moisture makes you feel so cold

 

It seems like I have to start drinking warm / hot beverages. I'm just not a fan of them I always drink my coffee cold and I never have tea...
And layering clothes is soo hard for me as well because of sensory issues

 

Velvet lined tank top as the base layer, then sleeves then sweater then overshirt or jacket too
Thermal leggings under pants leg warmers over
Layer up the socks never skip the fuzzy socks over the normal cushioned socks and use shoe cushions too

For layering I understand the hypersensitivity what works for me is having the tight soft layer first then gradually increase the looseness of each next layer so nothing is squeezing or bunching up awkwardly and the nicest feeling clothes are against me such as using soft leggings and tanks rather than waffle knit

 

I like heating pads too. Especially for my feet. I have two. One is microwavable and another is plug in.

 

Socks and leggings no matter what. Keep a nice big big big hat around.

 

last winter i used to carry a thermos with tea sometimes

 

My space heater is life-changing, too many layers is a sensory issue for me too

 

I also have sensory issues - I invested in an oodie, sweatpants... and sensory socks are a life saver. I found one thermal + an oodie got me through -2°c weather. Its like wearing a big blanket. And I made sure to get thick socks without sticky pads that weren't too tight around my ankles and didnt have threads sticking out. Investing in two loose, thick outfits (so I could swap them while washing) was really useful this past winter (its currently turning into summer where I live)

 

baths , baked potatoes , cashmere , dogs , electric blankets , layers , shearling , soups , tea .

 

i put on leggings, then pull socks over, then another pair of leggings. then day clothes.
fingerless gloves are nice if you need to write or anything.
tea is my solution to everything really.
ponchos (if theyre called that in english) are socially acceptable blankets to wear to school.
theres heat packs you can wear.
wool (which i hate) as a base layer if you can. fleece also works wonders. if you live near skiing regions, get skiing underwear to use as thermals.
try and keep your head covered when going outside.
keep moving.
in bed, extra blankets. i have a mermaid tail blanket thats formed like a sleeping bag. works wonders in winter.
curtains keep the heat in. only open windows for a bit each time, but all the way (Stoßlüften).

That last advice. Is really really hard for me since I am a smoker and when I crave a cigarette I just stand next to an open window and smoke. Then I have to leave it open for a while so my room doesn't smell like smoke.

 

Hand warmers are life changing. You can get rechargeable ones or ones you heat up if you don't want the disposable ones

 

Also fleece lined leggings

 

I have invested in an oodie and it is a life saverrrrr for when I’m home! I also have a weighted blanket which helps a lot at night. As for the day… I do layer up as much as possible while still keeping my fashion style intact and bringing a warm drink with me everywhere helps, such as tea or something but at some point I just gotta accept that ima be hella cold for a hot second T-T like yeah at home you just gotta invest in the heating - at least that fund can be taken out of your food one - but at work and such it’s out of your hands :/
Good luck to everyone this winter XD

 

Costco had packs of these super thin thermals last year, they had pants and long sleeves. They def weren’t heavy duty, but adding thick socks, my normal work pants, my tee shirt, work thick “dressy” sweaters, and my black coat I felt a little better. I also had a heating pad and warm tea constantly

when i was going to high school and had to walk there every day i actually had a system for this lmao

for torso:

layer first a tank top that goes down enough to cover your tailbone
then layer a turtleneck sweater for sleeves + keeping your neck warm
then layer on a shirt for style (i had a school uniform so it was always a polo shirt or school t shirt
THEN layer on a zip up hoodie that you can zip up outside and let down when you’re inside.

my legs never got as cold usually so i would just wear fleece tights/any thicker tights and a skirt or loose pants

people used to compliment me on my fashion so it actually doesn’t look that terrible lol, and it’s very functional and warm

 

I struggle with the sensory issue of too many layers too 🫤 what works best for me is a form fitting base layer then a warm oversized top layer. Usually I’m at home so it’s just a very oversized sweater on top, if I’m going out and it’s REALLY REALLLY freezing I’ll choose a thinner less baggy sweater over the base layer and a coat on top but that’s a last resort lol. If my base layer is too baggy it makes me colder. Fleece lined stuff helps, you can get it only lightly fleece lined if you have sensory issues with thicker fleece.

I also have a heated throw blanket which saved me the last couple of winters, cheaper and more effective than heating imo. Warm liquids and soups, I prefer cold most of the time too but it does help. Thick socks. It sucks but keeping warm is a big deal for me in winter so I bite the cost, I recognise I’m lucky that that’s an option though. Hope everyone manages to stay warm, I’m already hating it 🥲
