      cuddle dudz are a good under clothing thermal layer! and they're relatively affordable, i usually find mine at like marshalls or tj maxx. it gets to -60f/-51c here, that's helped a decent amount. BOG boots are really great too! especially if you wear in a muddy area like myself. they tolerate well with below freezing temps and don't slip very easy. yak traks are a good addition for boots if you need more grippy, they're the things you put over the bottom of your boots to add traction.

    I live in Germany and we still have "real" winters with snow, ice and cold wind even though they aren't as harsh like 15 years ago. People who are used to californian weather would still freeze. Everytime I see a "winter" lookbook and the person is just wearing a thin sweater with destroied jeans, I'm wondering how they would react to a real winter weather.

    As a fellow Canadian I would agree entirely with your list, but add one more item: a thin down vest to layer underneath your wool coat to make it a bit warmer (when you eventually get sick of your parka). I would never be without one. Stay warm!! From Ottawa- where it's even colder!! 🥶

    Something to mention here (even tho this video isn’t new), is that the indicated degree that a brand indicates the piece can withstand, doesn’t indicate you’ll be toasty when out in that temperature. It indicates that the piece will keep you alive in that temperature! I recently learned that when I went camping at the end of Fall, close to winter. My sleep bag indicated 10 degrees (F) and that night was about 17 degrees but I couldn’t fall asleep because I was so cold! Searching more about that phenomenon the next day, I came to learn you’re supposed to look for a sleeping bag that is rated 10-15 degrees warmer than the expected weather outside, if that makes sense!

    Thanks for doing this video. I live in NYC and have to dress comfortably for all climates. I don't understand influencers who live in a real winter and force being "minimal". I have four sweaters, 4 sweater dresses, 4 wool tights, cashmere socks, a long puffer (w/hood, -30F protection, and waterproof), a long wool coat, snow boots, dressier boots, and a casual boot, gloves, hat, and scarf for winter. One coat and like two sweaters don't cut it for most people. I gave up on that and consider my wardrobe pragmatic and thoughtful.

    I know it can feel irritable to some people, but Alpaca is also another great material to keep warm. I have alpaca sweaters that look comparatively thinner and have a looser knit compared to my wool and cashmere sweaters but they keep me just as warm. Agree that innerwear is a must. They also keep your clothes fresher and cleaner for longer inbetween washes.

    • @thenopedetective

Their socks are incredible and we get the hiker socks and they're so durable and cute looking. Plus their customer service is incredible!

    Great video thank you - I am very impressed at surviving Canadian winters - they are something else! I'm in Cornwall, UK, where it's really variable in the winter, but generally very wet. Today it's 12 degrees C with 25 miles per hour winds, but last week we had 5 degrees and 50mph winds, and then torrential rain. So you need to be waterproofed, but also wearing breathable layers that you can take off and on easily as it's easy to overheat! I would love a cold, dry, crisp winter though, with snow, and less rain! Hope you keep toasty!

    I echo the Uniqlo HeatTech and have some (I wear scrubs to work and always need to layer because scrubs are thin) but I also love 32° layering pieces, which you can get at Macys but also Costco. For boots, I have to go Hunter with warm socks underneath, because Chicago winters tend to be very wet (sleet, rain when not snowing). For coats I’ve always gone Lands End but they’ve changed their business model now so I guess I’ll have to buy those secondhand now.

    So this past year I purchased a travel coat from Eddie Bauer that has a lining that can be added or removed and in the PNW where I live it's been the best -- Perfect for our rain and wearing a thick sweater underneath and/or the lining and is more flexible for the seasons (two rainy seasons, one rainy season with the possibility of snow and one summer). I have other coats but keep grabbing this one. HUGE difference. I also wear TImberlands or Sorels to keep my feet warm and comfortable. Last year I found a 'built in warmth' jean from Old Navy and it has been sooo great with this season! I wear them to work, I wear them anywhere.

    I’m from Houston so it rarely gets super cold. But if I do visit places during the cold this definitely helps. Thank you

    Greetings from South Korea :)
    You can also layer light(thin) parkas under your coats and oversized jackets to wear them below 0ºC. Down vests (or maybe padded vests) can be an alternative if the coats fit you tight in the arm area.

    I live in Stockholm, our winters are -10 to +5. Silk long johns, camisoles, tshirts, everything are the layers I swear by. I love the silky feeling on my body and they don't feel overly warm when I'm inside.
    And a thin "down" coat to layer underneath my wool overcoat when I want to look stylish.

    I live in The Netherlands, where it's not too cold (only rarely below zero) but rains a lot. I think that your winter essentials & mine are quite similar with few exceptions! To me, leather gloves does the job best especially on bikes especially if you have to change gears while cycling (or text - but please don't you'll get a fine!). You can get away with insulated fabric ones, but for me the leather ones are warmer. The knitted gloves will definitely absorb water, learned this lesson during my first winter here. I like fisherman beanies and berets, sometimes when it rains I also wrap my gigantic scarf over my head. I don't have snow boots, because it almost doesn't snow here & I think the snowy week in February this year was just an exception - I could still manage with boots. I do make sure that my boots have great soles though, to make sure I don't slip when walking or cycling.

    My winter essential:
    Paper insole ( yes... Paper cut into insoles shape) i put 3 or4 paper insole in each shoe before putting it on. My feet will stay WAAAARM all day long. And at the end of the day i remove the papers that absorbed all the moisture and throw them away.

    Super video idea! I live in Toronto, and with the exception of polar fleece and some new tech materials, natural fabrics are a must. Cashmere is my go to for non-bulky, warm layering pieces.

    I live in England and although not as cold as Canada I always feel cold to the bone in winter. Thermals are the best and I have heat tech too. Have thrifted some mittens as your point is exactly how I felt, the cashmere gloves just don’t keep my hands warm enough. Great video 💫

    Hi Christina. I saw the same marketplace and I would love to hear a review of your boots after wearing them for the winter. I live in Ottawa and after getting frost bite on my toes as a teenager I have a harder time keeping them warm as I get older. So would love to know your thoughts about the Wind River boots as the winter progresses.

    I live in SoCal so it’s not that cold during winter. But my alma mater is in the Midwest and thermals, sweaters, beanie, fleece jackets, and my ski jacket were absolutely essential for me. I didn’t have a car and rarely left campus, and since the walkways were always shoveled I didn’t have too much of a need for snow boots. I had them just in case, but I def used my riding boots more. Fleece lined leggings were my jam too and super comfy. Your list is pretty spot on and super practical!
