So, here are a couple of tips to help you in your clothing selection. The best way to dress for winter weather is to wear layers. This gives you flexibility to add or remove layers, depending on the weather and your activity. The Wicking Layer is the layer worn next to your skin, usually consisting of long underwear. This keeps you warm, dry and comfortable.
Silk is also a good, natural fabric that has wicking abilities.
Remember, even though it might be cold outside, you will still sweat. Make sure this first layer fits snugly, but not tight in order to wick efficiently. The Insulating Layer is the middle layer that includes sweaters, sweat shirts, vests and pullovers. The purpose of this layer is to keep heat in and cold out, which is accomplished by trapping air between the fibers. The most popular insulation materials are fleece, a synthetic material, and wool, which naturally wicks moisture away.
