Slip Shorts in Winter – An Extra Layer Under Your Dress

Short answer: Slip shorts in winter work as an extra warming layer under dresses and skirts, and they also stop your tights from chafing or rolling down. The bamboo viscose keeps you dry, so you neither get cold nor clammy indoors.

An underrated winter layer

Most people think of slip shorts as summer underwear, but in winter they are at least as useful. A pair of bamboo slip shorts over or under your tights adds an extra insulating layer around your thighs and hips, exactly where dresses and skirts give the least protection from the cold.

Dry skin is warm skin

Cold feels worst when your skin is damp. Bamboo viscose draws the moisture away, so you stay dry as you move between the cold air outside and warm rooms. Combine them with bamboo tights for women or warm bamboo leggings for women under your dress.

Layer on layer from top to toe

Complete the winter layers with a soft bamboo undershirt for women as a base layer on your upper body. You can read more about the principle in the guide to the bamboo undershirt as a base layer.

Frequently asked questions

Do slip shorts really keep you warm in winter?

Yes, an extra layer of fabric around your thighs and hips insulates noticeably under dresses and skirts, especially combined with tights.

Should slip shorts sit over or under your tights?

Both work. Over your tights they hold them up and stop them rolling down, under them they give a smooth layer directly against your skin. Try it out.

Will I not get too warm indoors with an extra layer?

Rarely. Bamboo viscose regulates the temperature well, so the layer feels comfortable both out in the cold and inside in the warmth.
