Clothes for May
Short answer: May brings lighter days and milder weather, but evenings and mornings can still be cool. Choose a light jogging suit, thin socks and a jacket in your bag, and you will be ready however the day turns out.
May is the best month of spring
In Denmark May is often the month when spring truly breaks through. The trees come into leaf, the gardens wake up and many people take their first trips into nature. Even so, the air is not always warm, and the wind can feel cold, especially near the water. That is why light layers suit best, so that you can take something off at midday and put something on again when evening comes.
A set for walks and gardening
May is the time for long walks and the first days in the garden. A jogging suit is comfortable to wear when you are moving, and it also works for days at home. See bamboo jogging suit for men. Choose a fit that leaves room to bend and reach and that is not too warm when the sun is high. If you need an extra layer, bring a thin jacket or a scarf.
Long days on your feet and compression stockings
When the weather gets warmer, many people walk further, and the legs can feel heavy after a long day. Some people wear compression stockings to give their legs a little extra support. See bamboo compression stockings. If you have questions about who benefits from compression stockings, or whether you have swollen legs, talk to your doctor. Choose a size that fits and follow the care instructions so that they keep their shape.
Footies for the first shoes without socks
When trainers and light shoes come out, footies are practical because they cannot be seen above the shoe. See bamboo footies for men. Choose a pair that sits firmly at the heel and does not slip down into the shoe while walking. They also need to cope with frequent washing, because socks worn in warmer weather quickly need cleaning. Change them every day and let your shoes air between uses.
Habits that make May easier
Always bring an extra layer, even when the sun shines, because evenings can turn cool and the wind can pick up. Drink enough water on the long days and use sun protection if you will be outside for several hours. Air your clothes when you get home and wash them once they are sweaty. Keep moving outdoors, because May is one of the months when it really pays to get out.
