The ultimate protective layer against winter weather? A winter jacket, of course. You literally have winter jackets for women and men in all lengths, materials, designs, linings, and styles. For example, if you cycle to work or school: be sure to put on a wind- and waterproof one that is decently breathable. Is it cold and frosty outside, with the occasional snowflake floating down? Then choose a winter jacket with good insulation (made of down or fleece, for example) and a water-repellent layer. Even if you’re just briefly heading into town, you can do so extra stylishly in an elegant parka.
