My M&S feather and down coat with a big hood is my favourite this year. Also I always wear leather gloves as my hands get very cold.

roses woolly hats - they seem to be all the rage this winter. You see them in many countries all over the world.
My friend knits them, she has them in all colours. I told her she could have made a fortune if she'd put them on ebay!

Sounds decidedly chilly Izabella confused

Today I will be glad of a very warm hat I have had for years, not exactly stylish but does the job on a cold windy day when I have to walk somewhere.

TriciaF that is exactly the sort of coat I would like! I even saw Nichola Walker ( actress) wearing it in her role of a ghost in a detective series ( the one with a Swedish and possibly Aspergers detective as her boss.)Boucle texture and roomy ( I especially like the roomy bit.grin)

A coat - I bought it in a sale about 15 years ago. Not sure what it's made of, but it has a sort of bouclé texture, is very roomy and very cosy.
Plus thermal gloves.
What did we do before fleece though?

M&S thermal vest under a fleece. Lovely!

A buff

thermal socks over my tights immediately make me warm all over. No idea why.

I wear M&S Heatjen long sleeved tops and leggings. I also love my down coat, bought for a trip to Finland one winter!

Cashmere next to the skin.

I have a fleece one piece neckwarmer that I bought from Aldi a few years ago. It is so cosy, and can be pulled up to cover the ears, or re-worked to make a hat. I do also have a fleece beanie.

My felted beanie hat bought in Canada a few years ago. Handmade and so totally unique it keeps the wind out of my ears.

It would have to be my woolly hat (but also like thick tights and those nice long sleeve vests that M&S and Uniqlo sell) - hate being cold!

I was getting dressed this morning and layering up as feeling the cold i put on my fleece type jerkin, i think this is my favorite as it keeps me snuggly warm indoors and is great under my winter coat too. Whats yours??
