What to wear at four degrees
Short answer: At four degrees a cosy day at home or a brisk walk in a jogging suit is just right. A soft set, dry socks and a layer of underwear that does not squeeze give comfort without freezing.
The home day and the walk
Four degrees is a temperature at which many people want both to get out for fresh air and to get back into the warmth. That means the clothes must manage both. A jogging suit is often a good choice, because it is soft, roomy and easy to take off and put on. It can be used for walks, for the sofa and for a cup of coffee in the garden. When clothes are comfortable, it is easier to get out of the door, even when the weather is grey.
The jogging suit as the star of everyday wear
A jogging suit consists of a top and trousers that go together. See bamboo jogging suit for women. It is a simple choice when you want to look put together without thinking about it. At four degrees you can put a jacket over it if you walk far. Choose a set that is not so loose that the cold blows in at the waist, and not so tight that you cannot have a layer underneath.
Underwear under soft clothes
Underwear should be as comfortable as the outermost layer. Clothes made of viscose from bamboo are smooth against the skin and lie well under a jogging suit. See bamboo underwear for women. Choose pieces without heavy seams that do not show edges under the soft trousers. If you wear the set all day, it is especially important that the underwear does not chafe or slip.
Socks for the sofa and the walk
Choose socks that fit the shoes you walk in outdoors and that are also pleasant to wear at home. See all bamboo socks for women. If you go for a walk, take socks that cover the ankle. At home thinner socks can be enough, but if you have a cold floor, choose a pair with some cushioning. Change into dry ones if you come home with wet feet.
From home wear to outdoor wear
Many people use their jogging suit both outside and inside, and that can be practical. Remember, though, that clothes that have been out in rain and slush should dry before you sit on the sofa. Have one set for outside and one for inside if you can, so that you can always change into something dry. It is a small habit that makes you feel fresher when you get home.
Caring for everyday clothes
Wash jogging suit and underwear made of viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees and inside out. Do not use fabric softener, and dry flat or on a hanger. Avoid the tumble dryer on high heat, as it can shrink clothes. Air the set if it is not dirty so that you can wear it several times between washes.
Frequently asked questions
Is a jogging suit warm enough at four degrees
For a short trip it can be enough. For longer outings or wind, a jacket over the top and socks that cover the ankle are a good idea.
Can I wear the same jogging suit outside and inside
Yes, but let it dry if it has got wet. A second set for home is practical.
How do I avoid chafing from underwear
Choose a fit that does not squeeze and avoid heavy seams. Change if the underwear gets damp.
