Tights and jeans, a good idea?

Some opt for this solution when picking out their outfit for the day: putting on a pair of tights and then jeans over them. This kind of layering will then keep you warm, right? Wrong! As ELLE writes, wearing tights underneath jeans is not efficient... On the contrary, it could even produce the opposite effect!

There are other solutions

This tights and jeans combo ‘prevents the skin from heating up the air inside the trousers,’ writes the magazine in an article. On the other hand, putting on wool tights works very well. The fabric keeps the warmth in, and your legs will thank you for this welcome comfort! Another solution, of course, is to put on thick socks in order to protect your feet. Plus, winter socks are trending hard right now!

In addition to all this, you can also go out wearing a scarf, gloves, a hat, a woollen jumper, and a large down jacket.
