Clothes for March
Short answer: March is a month of transition, when frosty nights and sunshine can occur in the same week. Keep to your layers, switch gradually to lighter pieces and remember that mornings and evenings can still be cold.
March cannot make up its mind
In Denmark March can offer everything from frost and sleet to mild, bright days when the sun almost feels like spring. It is exactly this unpredictability that makes choosing clothes difficult. You leave home in the cold in the morning and stand with your jacket over your arm at lunchtime. That is why it is smarter to think in layers than in one big jumper, so that you can adapt without changing your whole outfit from one day to the next.
Change slowly, not in a single day
Many people put their winter clothes away as soon as the sun appears, and regret it a few days later. Hold off on the big tidy up and swap one layer at a time instead. Keep the warm socks and a soft jumper close by and bring out the thickest jacket only when a week has been mild. See bamboo sweatpants for women for the everyday moments when you want to sit comfortably and warm at home but can still go for a walk outside.
Summer time and lighter evenings
When the clocks go forward at the end of March, the evenings suddenly become lighter, and that can tempt you into lighter clothes. But the temperature does not always follow the light, and the first bright evenings can be cold. Always bring an extra layer if you will be out after sunset. It is also a good time to go through what you need and put the heaviest items away once winter is truly over.
Everyday life has to work in any weather
March is a busy month for many, and clothes need to work whether it rains, blows or stays dry. Period underwear can be a practical option for anyone who wants a simple choice that fits into daily life. See period underwear. Follow the washing instructions and deal with them straight after use so that they can dry properly. If you have questions about hygiene or health, talk to your doctor.
Feet notice the change first
Feet are often the first to get cold and wet in March, when there is rain, meltwater and soaked pavements. Choose socks that hold their shape and fit close without pinching, and change them if you have got wet. See bamboo socks for women. Bring an extra pair in your bag and let your shoes dry completely between uses so that they do not stay damp inside. Dry feet are a small thing that does a lot for your mood.

What should I wear in March
Three thin layers are a good start: a soft inner layer, a jumper and a jacket. Then you can take a layer off when the sun comes out.
Should I put my winter clothes away in March
Wait a little, because cold days can still come. Swap one layer at a time and keep warm socks and a jumper within reach.
Why are the bright evenings still cold
