How do people who live in cold places dress?

Question

We live in Texas, where it's mostly warm, but we are visiting Kansas. I think we need to get some warm clothes. My husband says that we'll be too warm inside (we're going to a conference). So how do people dress when they live in cold, snowy places?

Answer 1

Dress in layers. If there's snow on the ground and you'll be walking in it you might need some boots. But other than that you just need some clothes that aren't really thin. Silk is not good, but cotton is fine. You should also have a coat. If you'll be outside you'll need a warm hat and gloves too.

Answer 2

Get Warm Clothes

I Don't Mean Like A Sweater

I Mean Like A BIG POOFY COAT, A Scarf, Gloves, Snow Boots, Snow Pants If The Snow Is Really High, Hope I Helped

ps: Bring A Sled, Snow Pants, Snow Gloves, And A BIG POOFY COAT If You Are Gonna Play In The Snow

Answer 3

Warm,,, Layers is best. If your going to be inside most of the time dress like you would any where. Kansas isn't that cold by my standards but if you will be out side a lot go for layers. Silk or Polly next to your skin to wick moisture away, cotton tee, sweat shirt, or sweater, good jacket that will cut the wind. Good water proof boots. Cute stocking cap(most body heat is lost out the top of your head) scarf and gloves or mittens.

Answer 4

Dressing in Layers
Next to the skin. Your base layer should wick sweat away from your body to keep your skin dry. Cotton should not be used - save your t-shirts for other purposes. Good long underwear pieces are appropriate made from fabrics such as Thermion, polypropylene, Thermax, Thinsulate, and silk.
Compare Prices
Insulating layer: This layer will keep you warm and can be shed once you warm up. Wool, fleece, pile, down in a jacket, shirt or vest.

Outer layer: To protect you from the elements, a windproof and water resistant jacket. It should be worn loosely.

Pants: If the weather is frigid, long underwear bottoms or tights underneath another pair of pants will keep you warm.

Boots Walking
Slip into Boots walking for walking around

A Change of Clothes: If your walking route is away from home, bring along a set of warm and dry clothes to slip into immediately after walking to keep from getting chilled by wet walking clothes.

Accessories
Hat: A hat is essential to keeping your body heat from escaping, as well as shedding rain. A polar fleece hat with ear covering is my ideal winter headgear.
Earband: For those whose ears get cold, earbands are the answer.

Gloves or mittens: Mittens will keep your hands the warmest as the fingers work together to build up warmth.

Water bottle: You need water in winter as much as in summer, and drinking fountains may be turned off. Bring water along to stay hydrated.

Scarf, neck gaiter, ski mask: Having a scarf or similar item along to wrap around your neck when the wind turns brutal can save your walking comfort.

Happy Feet
Waterproof shoes or boots: If your walking is wet or snowy, invest in a pair of waterproof walking or hiking shoes. Many companies including Nike and New Balance have lightweight styles to keep you dry. Coating shoes with a water repellent fabric treatments is another option.
Traction: Don't wear slick soled shoes if there will be wet or snowy pavement. For icy conditions, see Stabilicers,

Socks: Switch to heavier socks or wear two pairs for more insulation. Test your socks with your chosen shoes to make sure there is still room for your toes to wiggle.

Good Luck!
Cheers!
