Nike Is The Unexpected Star Of My Cold Weather Wardrobe - And These Warm Buys Will Show You Why
Image by: Nike
Nike's outdoorsy line-up is everything you need to take on the cold snap in style...
While there’s nothing better than staying inside, wrapped in cosy blankets and your most comfortable slippers, stepping outside in the bleak weather we’re now faced with is a different story. As someone who perpetually feels the chill, I can confidently say that I’ve done my fair share of research into the art of dressing for the cold without compromising on style. Don't get me wrong - a great coat is a winter must-have. But let's face it, there’s more to cold weather dressing than picking out a puffer coat and forgetting about everything else underneath. The key to conquering this time of year is having a smart selection of base layers at your disposal. Perfect for running errands, popping to the shops, talking yourself on a nice lunchtime walk – not every occasion calls for the polish of a pair of tailored trousers and a fancy cardigan. Most of us simply need some solid staples that can combat the cold and keep us comfortable at the same time.
Bear with me but, of late, I've delved into the world of outdoor running, and it's sent me on a quest to discover how to stay toasty while breaking a sweat. In my pursuit of the ultimate sportswear wardrobe, I just so happen to have unearthed the fact that Nike offers far, far more than just glossy workout gear.
In fact, they’ve got a seriously good cold-weather collection that fills all the casualwear gaps I’ve been looking for in my everyday life – fleecy sweatshirts, hard-working leggings, gilets, thermals and more. Pieces that can adapt to what you’re doing, whether you're pounding the pavement or merely enduring a frosty grocery run.
With Nike's cold-weather line-up, you'll find everything you need for an active life in the chilliest environments – and you’ll be glad to hear you don’t have to take up Couch to 5K to appreciate it. These pieces are engineered to keep you snug without the bulk, allowing you to savour your outdoor adventures, pumpkin spice latte in hand, without hurrying back inside the second the wind picks up. So, the next time you venture out, consider adding any of the pieces I’ve picked out below into your look. To avoid feeling overly sporty or casual, simply style back with smarter pieces you already own. One of the Nike’s signature sweatshirts over a midi skirt and boots, for example, is now a staple look of mine while the coats are ideal for slinging over your outfit on a commute.
