Thermals.

I have just ordered M&S Heatgen tops from Ebay after reading this thread.I've gone for leggings too so I hope they will keep me warm throughout winter. Thanks all x

M&S Heatgen. Feels light and comfortable yet so warm. Brilliant variety of neck shape too, e.g polo neck.

MadasaShell. I thought everyone always tucked their vest inside their pants! How else do you keep your waist and lower back warm? I live in a cold Victorian house so a vest is a must for the winter months, though I don’t usually wear one in the summer. My 92 year old mum is horrified I don’t wear a vest in a heatwave! But she has always tucked her vest well inside her baggie knickers for years!
I’ve been wearing sleeveless 100% cotton vests from Matalan for a few years. They are not thermal but come in two lengths (both are long enough to “tuck in”) and at around £4 are good value. They look like extra-thick t-shirt material (not sure if it has a special name) and can be round neck or V neck. They wear and wash well too. 👍👍

I'm with Mapleleaf. For thermal, woolly gloves I usually buy Thinsulate ones in the sales from outdoor shops in the Lakes, pre Covid obviously.

I've always enjoyed M&S thermal vests. Damart are also good. I bought a silk vest for wearing under sweaters to prevent itching. It is very comfortable, but not that warm.

M&S thermals for me. Does anyone else tuck their vest into their pants? As I’m getting older I hate gaping around the waist especially when I’m gardening, decorating or whatever when it’s a cold day, so have taken to this ancient practice. A big thumbs up for big, well fitting knickers.

I have some M and S thermal tops but they are quite clingy and I'm sure you can get warmer ones - I just haven't found any yet. May try Damart....

As I am asthmatic I must wear thermals in winter and find those at Marks & Spencer really good. Also, Uniglo does some nice Heatech(?) long and short sleeved vests. The thermal socks are good too.

They don’t look like vests really. Mine are more like long sleeve T shirts with thermal properties. Not granny vests as such.

I'm quiet surprised how many of you wear vests.
I haven't worn one for about 55 yrs or more

Uniqlo Heattech is fantastic. 3 differing levels to chose from, all sorts of different styles . Often on offer,

Posted too late.

Damart irritates my skin, you could try uniqlo’s heatteck thermal underwear. It can be bought online if there isn’t a shop nearby.

Thank you everyone. I've gone for M&S . I looked into Tesco but they were very thin. The ones I ordered will last me for quite a while.

I use M&S Heatgen too. I love them because they just look like scoop neck, long sleeve t-shirts - depending on the weather I wear them under a thin cardigan, a thick jumper or just a coat. The colours are great - I've got them in blues, teal, red, purple, black and white (bought over three years).

I buy mine at sports direct not as expensive but great as they are made for outdoor sports etc My thermal leggings with a lovely furry inside were Band M £5 and snug as a bug in a rug

Another vote for M&S Heatgen Plus long sleeved thermal tops. They are soft, warm and come in several colours. I can recommend their thermal socks too.

Look at Aldi when they have their thermal range on. Skiing season is a good time to look and I have bought several of their items and been pleased with them. Excellent prices as well.

Sainsbury’s has a Black Friday deal as well, I have found Tu clothing really good value.

Posted too soon, …… and sleeveless vests from £8.

Sainsbury’s Tu clothing range has long sleeved thermal tops from £12 - £15

I like M&S Heatgen too. Warm, comfortable and a variety of styles.

Uniqlo. Excellent.

Thanks Blossoming. Have tried that occasionally but then they are too big on the shoulders! Good job I wasnt born earlier, I could never have worn corsets!

I use M&S Heatgen. I find they’re good and you can get them on ebay, new, last years colours for a reduced cost. Or I buy them in the sale as others have said. I persuaded DH, who said to me I don’t wear vests, into the men’s range and he now swears by them. Best thing I ever bought, he says 😂
