What to pack?
1: Cosy hat – When the weather isn’t so forgiving, a hat really makes a difference when there’s a nippy wind about. The range from Crane Clothing means you’re spoiled for choice! This grey pom pom beanie goes with just about any wintry outfit.
2: Warm mittens – Don’t forget to pack some lined mittens – they’re perfect for keeping your hands warm in low temperatures, we love these Scandinavian felt-lined mittens from Skandihome.
3: Waterproof boots – Waterproof boots are vital for getting the most out of the great outdoors in winter! These waterproof boots from Timberland are ideal.
4: Thick socks: – Waterproof boots are best paired with a chunky pair of socks to keep your toes extra warm while you walk! We love these patterned knee high socks from Skandihome.
5: Comfy padded coat – The most important layer in the outfit. Having a padded coat ensures that all the excess heat is kept in, and keeping warm is priority number one when enjoying a winter walk to the full! This navy padded coat from Joules is just the ticket!
