    The 11 most important winter essentials – keep you warm AND look cool

    So that you look cool this winter and are guaranteed not to freeze, we thought about which pieces you really need to get through the cold season - and where you can get them. Now that doesn't mean you have to turn your entire wardrobe inside out and buy everything new. We have prepared a small checklist that you can use to check off what you already have and where you may still need more. These are the most important ones– from head to toe:

    1. Hat

    Did you know that you lose around 10 percent of your body heat through your head? At least when your head and ears are not covered. And because we can really use this ten percent in the winter, we prefer to get oneon. We don't want to hear the excuse "but hats don't suit me". The winter essential is important so that we don't freeze our heads off in sub-zero temperatures, no debate. As long as you have a cool one on, hats look good on everyone. Simple knitted hats, for example fromLoro Piana, always go.

    4. Jacket

    Finding the right winter jacket is a science in itself. As with all winter essentials, the challenge is to find a model that looks good but, above all, keeps you warm. Because without a warm winter jacket it definitely won't work. Whether you prefer to wear a parka, a puffer jacket or a down coat is up to you. You get our go for all models as long as they are well insulated and technically equipped so that even sub-zero temperatures cannot harm you.

    8. Gloves

    Having cold fingers is pretty bad. This quickly feels as if the entire body is cooling down - and unfortunately it happens quite quickly. That's why we came up with the Gift GuideCosI immediately got a new copy made of knitting wool. This keeps your fingers nice and warm and doesn't detract from the rest of your outfit.

    9. Wool pants

    When it comes to trousers, many people forget that covered legs do not immediately protect them from the cold. Anyone who has ever been to the Christmas market wearing thin trousers from summer knows what we are talking about. So what is the solution? Wear long underwear? Rather impractical. Wool trousers have the same effect and do not require an underlayer as the material hardly allows body heat to escape and keeps the cold out. Not to mention that wool trousers look pretty classy.Loro PianaFor example, there is a suitable model available.

    10. Jeans

    Without jeans, without us. Even in the cold season, we don't want to go without denim pants and we don't have to. Jeans are an important winter essential as long as they are made of thick and sturdy fabric, are not ripped up to the knees and have the right cut. You'll quickly get cold in skinny jeans because they leave little space between your body and the pants in which the air can be heated up by body heat.

    Cold feet are a death sentence in winter. If you freeze at the bottom, you won't be able to get warm at the top. That's why warm boots are perhaps the most important winter essential for getting through the cold season well. If you have boots like the new onesHeritage Pull-On TrailGazervonUggWhen you put them on, you can be sure that your feet will always be nice and warm and you'll look pretty cool too.
