Winter is here, temperatures tend to drop below zero, frosts are spreading and logically…we are cold. So if we know it, the best method to fight against the cold is to… move; however there are certain things to know so as not to fight it in vain. Here are 5 misconceptions about the cold.
Among other techniques to fight against the cold, that of accumulating light layers of clothing is particularly effective. Why ? Because it allows you to trap several layers of air that will effectively insulate you from the cold outside. A practice that "fashionistas" call layering is the perfect technique to combine stylish outfit and warm clothes. Clothing that we will choose as much as possible in natural materials such as wool for example, which is an excellent thermoregulator.
