What To Wear In Europe Winter For Women

Are you planning to go on a trip to Europe this winter season but don’t have the right stylish outfits but yet practical travel clothes? The first time I’ve ever visited Europe was in 2006 during winter season.  During this time, I did not want to dress like a typical tourist.  I made sure, I wore some of my stylish but yet practical and warm jackets, tops and pants.  I had to learn how to layer my clothes as it made me warm throughout my holiday.   It did not hinder my travels at all and in fact I felt like I was treated better every time I visited any shops and dining in different restaurants around Europe.  In this article, I will discuss the importance of wearing stylish and practical outfits while touring around Europe.  This is because most European cities are quite chic and well known as a fashion capital. Here, you’ll find one of the best selections of travel clothes for Europe including jackets, coats, long sleeve tops, pants, shoes and boots.

Jackets and Coats

I must emphasize that wearing a stylish warm jacket that provides insulation to your body is a must.  Because there is no doubt you will be wearing a  jacket almost every day in the winter season in Europe.  The winter climate in Europe is very cold, icy and it snows almost all the time.  Not only it gets very cold but it also rains at times.  Therefore, try to wear waterproof and insulated jacket but fashionable in style at the same time.

Alternatively, you could take two or three different types of winter jackets for Europe.  Here are some of the breathable and waterproof jackets that are suitable for Europe’s winter season.

1. Columbia Carson Pass Jacket 

Columbia Carson jacket is available in grey, purple sage and black.  It is breathable and waterproof allowing you to walk around with warmth and not feeling too sweaty at the same time.  It’s a belted jacket with thermal lining and a removal faux fur hood.  With this style you can always remove the faux fur hood when the weather is sunny but cold and just place it in your bag when you don’t need it.

2. Woolen Coat with Belt Military Trench Coat For Women  

This coat is available in black, beige, red, brown and grey.  It’s also quite stylish and very warm, which is suitable for winter in Europe.  You can definitely wear this in day and night with matching jeans or pants and boots.  You can definitely pull off looking very stylish with this coat, while being a complete tourist in Europe.  Click here for more information and reviews about this coat.

Long Sleeve Tops

Wearing all kinds of long sleeve tops under your jacket or coat can add warmth to your body.  Not only does it make you feel even warmer but it also feels smoother from the inside.  Wearing a fashionable long sleeve top is a must, as when you’re inside restaurants, shopping malls, shops and museums it can get too hot especially if it’s insulated inside and therefore you might need to take your jacket off.  Just because your long sleeve top is hidden most of  the time but you can still wear a stylish top, as you never know when you need to take your jacket off while exploring.  Below is a list of long sleeve tops that you can wear while touring around Europe.  All long sleeve tops are available in a variety of colours.

Jeans & Leggings

I personally think that jeans and leggings are the best pants to wear during winter time in Europe.  It feels warmer as it sticks to your skin.  I highly recommend to wear your leggings under your jeans so you won’t be able to feel that cold air through your jeans.  I also highly suggest to wear thermal leggings and then tight skinny jeans over it and therefore you can also wear any knee high boots over any jeans.  Below is a list of jeans and leggings that are of high quality and suitable for winter time in Europe.  You can easily match these jeans with any long sleeve tops, jackets and boots to go with it.

Boots

If you are travelling in Europe in the winter season I highly recommend you bring at least two different kinds of boots.  One pair of flat boots made for walking around the city should be stylish but yet very comfortable, suitable for rain, snow and slippery surface.  If you pack at least two pairs of durable, waterproof and non-slippery pair of boots you will be good to go in any kind of situations (e.g: walking in the snow, walking around the city all day long while sightseeing, and dressing it up and matching it with your daily outfits).  Another pair of boots should also be stylish with heels but yet very practical, waterproof and non-slipper as you could wear them if you go out at night for dinner and if you want you could also wear them during day time while having lunch in a nice restaurant.  And you could also wear your high heel boots for a little walk around the area where you stay.  All of which will certainly make you look like a local without any issues blending in.  When I was in Europe in 2011, I managed to bring 3 pairs of boots.  I brought two flat boots and one high heel pair of boots, all of which were suitable for walking in European winter and that also enabled me to walk in snow and rainy days without tripping over.  Below are one of the best selected boots suitable for European winter weather – perfect for walking all day long for long periods of hours even in wet and slippery surface, in snow and in rainy days and fortunately they are waterproof.

Winter Gloves, Scarves and Hats

As mentioned above, the climate in Europe during winter is unbearable as it’s very cold, icy and sometimes it’s windy and therefore you definitely need to take different kinds of gloves, scarves and hats to suit your style.  I highly suggest to take a very warm scarf, gloves and hats so your hands, neck and head don’t freeze.  Wearing these will also prevent you from getting sick while on a vacation and touring around Europe.  Below is a list of various hats, gloves and scarves that are appropriate to cold weather in Europe and these are the stylish ones with good quality that should go well with any outfits.  They’re not only fashionable but very practical that will keep your body temperature warm while walking around the city anytime of the day.  Please note these gloves, hats and scarves are also available in a variety of colours to choose from.  Links are written below.
