One thing I realized was the weather in Europe can be colder compared to Asian countries that experience winter. Well even with that difference it's still better to bundle up. Here's the the top to toe list my sister sent me:
Head
- bonnet, preferably one that can cover your ears
- ear muffs, can do without if you have a good bonnet and coat that has a hood
- mask, useful if you have a hard time breathing in cold weather
Top Body
- sando, I still wear one under the Heattech undergarment for extra warmth
- Heattech undergarment (long-sleeves)
- Heattech sweater
- winter coat, better to get the parka jacket with faux fur hood (better to get a size bigger since you'll be piling up with clothes)
- gloves and scarf
- and maybe another sweater to put over your Heattech sweater when it's really cold
Bottoms
- Heattech leggings
- Heattech pants, some people can survive with jeans but I can't (I love the Uniqlo Heattech pants, it's like wearing a blanket haha)
- I usually put on a pair of stockings before wearing Heattech leggings
Feet
- Heattech socks and I usually add a pair of cold weather socks from Daiso
- it's also good to invest in a pair of winter shoes (the one with furry lining is the best) and snow shoes if you plan to walk around
Always keep your head, ears, hands and feet covered (and well the rest of your body), but these are the parts that easily get cold. And always wear a bonnet at night, mahirap nang mahamugan! If you're planning to have a vacation at a cold, cold place, make sure to earmark some budget for these clothes (around PhP10K should do).
