Let’s be honest—Indian winters aren’t just about freezing winds and snow. From Mumbai’s nippy mornings to Shimla’s icy evenings, it’s more of a weather rollercoaster.
So, what’s the trick?
Layering! That way, you’re never too cold or too warm. Start with thermals (yes, even if you’re not in Ladakh), add your middle layer (think sweaters or jackets), and then top it off with something weatherproof and cute.
