Why Indian Winters Need Thoughtful Layering

India experiences a diverse winter climate, from dry northern plains to snowy Himalayan peaks. That’s why the golden rule is: layering for warmth.

• Base layer: Wicks sweat and keeps your skin dry

• Insulation layer: Retains body heat

• Outer shell (rentable): Protects from wind, snow, and rain

But bulky layers don’t have to mean bulky looks. With lightweight thermal layers and sleek insulation, you can build stylish silhouettes for every winter adventure.

Pro Tip: Kosha’s rental jackets and snow pants are both technical and tailored, so you’ll look as good as you feel.

Smart Winter Wear Tips for Indian Destinations

Mountain Adventures

Planning a snow trip to Manali, Gulmarg, or Sikkim? You’ll need serious insulation. Start with merino wool thermals, add a fleece mid-layer, and rent a waterproof shell like the Men's Parka Jacket on Rent or Alaskan Parka Jacket For Women from Kosha.

Stylish City Escapes

In metros like Delhi or Jaipur, winter brings dry cold and ample opportunity to layer with flair. Think longline coats, wool scarves, and boots. For an added edge, go for a Sleeveless Reversible Puffer Jacket For Men to layer smartly without bulk. Renting outerwear means you can experiment with new looks each trip without filling your wardrobe with heavy gear. If you don’t want to invest in bulky jackets for a short trip, a Men’s Parka Jacket on Rent is a stylish, space-saving option.

Style Tip: Combine Kosha thermal base with knit pullover plus sleeveless puffer and trousers.

Wedding-Season Winter Looks

Attending a wedding in December? Layer a gold base layer under your saree or lehenga for warmth without ruining the silhouette. Add elegance with velvet stoles or a formal coat. To keep your fingers warm during open-air ceremonies, opt for Merino Wool Gloves for Women. Top off your outfit with an Alaskan Parka Jacket For Women especially if you’ll be outdoors for part of the ceremony

Style Tip: Pair thermal inner with deep-toned ethnic outerwear and woolen accessories

Rental vs Buying: What Makes More Sense?

Rent the warmth, own the moment

Buying premium winter jackets might not make sense if:

• You’re travelling to cold places occasionally

• You want premium gear but don’t want to store it

• You’re tight on luggage space or budget

Kosha lets you rent high-performance outer layers for three, seven, or fifteen days. You can order online or visit the Mumbai store. Every piece goes through a 14-point quality check and is delivered freshly laundered. Light on your luggage, light on your wallet, and light on the planet.

This Men's Parka Jacket on Rent is perfect for Indian winters or your next trip to colder regions. Functional, fashionable, and ideal for short-term use.

What’s Not for Rent (But Still Essential)

While jackets and pants are available for rent, some essential winter items are hygiene-sensitive and fabric-specific, and hence not rentable:

• Thermal tops and bottoms

• Men's Woolen Socks in India and gloves (some options are purchasable)

• Balaclavas and innerwear

You can conveniently buy these from the Kosha website, ensuring warmth from base to shell.
