Why Layering Is Your Best Friend In Shimla

Not just clever - it’s survival and fashion.

Shimla’s winter varies from mild to extremely cold depending where and when you go. That’s why, layering is the secret. It holds warmth, is flexible and it keeps you looking good doing it.

1. Base Layer: The layer which is against the cold first. Think against your skin thermals.

2. Mid Layer : Fleece or wool sweaters to keep your body warm.

3. Outer layer: Water, windproof jackets to keep out the weather.

4. Complements: Gloves, mufflers and socks are your winter armor.

Staying warm and active in the mountains, perfect thermal base layers for your winter wear for Shimla trip.

Building Your Base: Thermal Wear For Shimla Essentials

Thermals are one thing we should discuss about winter fashion. They are very near to your skin giving insulation and are not bulky. Good thermals absorb water, deal with heat and do not turn you into a walking icicle.

For your thermal wear for Shimla, we highly recommend Kosha base layers for cold travel. They are particularly made so that they keep warmth and allow your skin to breathe. It can be in a walk around Mall Road or a trek up to Jakhoo temple, these base layers support you, literally.

Why Kosha base layers?

1. Tested to extreme cold temperature

2. Moisture wicking fabric, breathable fabric

3. Note: Smooth design, to be extra comfortable

4. Fashionable to the point of wearing in-doors as well

Mid & Outer Layers: Best Winter Jackets For Shimla And Beyond

This is a functional style. The best winter jackets for Shimla are those that can handle sub-zero temperatures while keeping you stylish.

Seek jackets that are insulated, fleece lined and must be waterproof in case of Shimla winter. The last thing that you want is to be wet after an accidental snowball or some sudden rain.

We love the waterproof fleece lined jacket for women from Kosha. It fits all the buttons: it is warm, stylish, and snowproof durable. For men, the winter jackets for men are equally dependable, whether you're strolling down the Ridge or catching the snowfall in Kufri.

Jacket Tips:

1. The option that you should layering with is one size bigger

2. Choose hoods made with drawstrings to cut wind

3. The darker ones are more concealing of dirt and snow dirtied clothes

Accessorize Smartly: Tips for Extremities

Do not underestimate your accessories. Your head, hands, and feet are the first to get heat away so wrapping up is vital.

1. Gloves: Touchscreen gloves waterproofed

2. Woolen Cap or Beanie: Double lining which will help keep you warm the most.

3. Muffler or Scarf: A collar that fits gives a snug neck and therefore so much warmer.

4. Thermal Socks: On Toasty Toes

5. Wrap mufflers for women if you like a splash of color, and warmth.

Footwear & Socks

When the streets are covered with snow, serious footwear is required. Select boots which are:

1. Waterproof

2. Insulated

3. Make a grip good

Use wool-blend socks to prevent frostbite, with numb toes. Have boots? Wear them in before the trip in case you will be doing a lot of walking.

Packing Strategy And Real-Time Tips

An excellent packing strategy would do wonders:

1. Smart packing: Pack light and go in layers that can be reduced to size:

2. Space saver: Compression bags: These allow you to save space in your suitcase.

3. Take a foldable down jacket: On trek as backup in case you need it
