Warm clothing for everyday wear

It’s a case of trial and error surely??

Depends on if you like feeling 'bundled up' with thick knits. Personally I don't so I resort to layers - of wool/wool blend camisoles. A long time ago I bought a pure wool vest and it's lasted over 20 yrs. It is so thin it's like a cobweb but it is still cosy and warm. Newer ones are available on line and are not in the least 'old-lady like' Then but a shirt on top with a woollen jumper on top. You'd be so much warmer than just one layer of a chunky knit

And shape.
And dare I say age.
I dont think I possess things that "bobble".
Could be wrong. If I do, I havent noticed.

Some wool jumpers bobble. I have a bobble remover.

I buy stuff from Woolovers when it’s on sale otherwise they’re really expensive for me. It wool all the way except on a warm summers day

I love my thermals. I have warmer ones for really cold days and slightly cooler ones that are beautiful colours that I wear as long sleeve T-shirts under a cardi for when the weather is starting to warm up. Also have thermal leggings for wearing under trousers and long skirts.

Thermals are so thin you can forget you are wearing them. When we were up North earlier this year in the freezing snow I wore a V neck one over a crew neck one I was so cold 🥶 Plus thermal socks - if my feet are warm that's half the battle.

I’m looking for cashmere that isn’t too expensive. Maybe in a sale somewhere?
I don’t mind bobbles either.

The worlds your oyster. There are so many shops (on & offline) selling so many clothes of so many kinds.

What is your style, your shape, your lifestyle?

All these are needed to answer your query.

You can never tell whether a fabric is going to bobble. Maybe just buy whatever you happen to like and treat yourself to one of those "razors" for shaving the bobbles off?

Just something stylish but not too dressed up that keeps me warm and stays looking good for a couple of years. The thermal layers could be a solution

So many recommendations for thermals here but I've never found any that don't make me feel as though I'm inside a sausage skin - are there any loose ones out there? (P.S. I really AM buying the correct size!)

A lot of shops sell what is now known as under armour. It’s lightweight garments to wear underneath top clothes. Easy to wash and very effective.

I always find polar fleece is very cosy and not "heavy". I make my own sweatshirts from non-pill polar fleece and they haven't bobbled despite many washings, but there are plenty on the market. The other advantage is that they dry quickly!

When going out I always wear a woollen top over my T shirt or blouse. When indoors I resemble a navvy as the "cardigan" is thick, I have no idea what it is made of but it does the trick.

Some, like Woolovers, bobble more than others.
Boden garments don't so much.

I find some are tighter than others, even from the same shop. If they are stretchy I usually buy a size bigger. I have some Damart ones that aren't really stretchy at all and fit nicely. My latest M&S ones are very stretchy and wearing my normal size made them roll up around the waist into a very constricting belt so I went up a size.

M&S Heatgen crew neck black thermals, my choice under jumpers in cold or cool weather. Scoop neck available also.

Like Arewethereyet I swear by light silky technical thermal layers worn under normal clothing, and now have quite a range of colours shapes and weights and brands. Warm boots or shoes( over warm socks) help too.

Merino wear is all the rage.these days. It is eye-wateringly expensive but feels like cotton and is extremely easy care.

I too go up a size for M&S heatgen thin thermal tops.

M&S do a HeatGen range. They look like tee shirts and leggings but are meant to be worn under clothes, and they are very warm.

Sorry for the enormous link!

I am warm when I wear Chenille jumpers. In the wardrobe I have a selection of colours and add to them each year, from the Roman range. Around £26 .

M&S heatgen. I have a range including scoop neck, crew neck and a black sparkly polo neck one.
So thin and stretchy, this year I’ve worn them under www.marksandspencer.com/cotton-rich-funnel-neck-slim-fit-top/p/clp60678934?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share
which I wear under crew or boat neck jumpers. They’re a bit less snug than polo necks.
or a thermal under a shirt and jumper.

John Lewis thermals are comfy and warm… then it’s layers on top as shops and cafes are so variable heat-wise…

Thank you everyone for your suggestions
