Here is what to pack for Copenhagen in Winters:
Layering Is The Key
Winters are chilling in Copenhagen and when it’s chilling, layering is the key. It is always good to wear multiple layerings because then the heat is trapped inside the clothes and you feel warmer. Multiple thin layers will keep you warm.
Thermal
The innermost layer of clothes is thermals. The best part about thermals is that you don’t need to put many clothes over the thermals. Woollen thermals are good enough to give you the warmth required.
Full Sleeves Shirts/T-shirts
If you like wearing jackets or coats, it is good to pack full sleeves t-shirts with you. One single t-shirt can be paired with anything. And if the unpredictable weather hits Copenhagen you can always wear a t-shirt and pair it with jeans and a denim jacket over it.
Sweaters
Sweaters are life saviours and you can always wear it directly over a full sleeves t-shirt or if it is too cold then you can put multiple layers inside it. Guys can wear a sweater over a shirt and pair it with jeans. Girls can either pair the sweater with leggings or jeans. Perfect!
High neck Cardigans
High neck cardigans are always a good choice because they are stylish enough to wear and can be paired with anything. Jeans, skirt and leggings (if the cardigan is long) for women and Jeans and trousers for men is a perfect wear.
Winter Dresses
Winter dresses are the best way to look fashionable and since you don’t have to pair it with any bottom it’s a light pack for Copenhagen as well. You can wear an overcoat with it and a scarf. This will be your fashionable yet warm outfit.
Overcoat
Overcoats might be a little tough to pack since they are heavy. But if you don’t have any packing or luggage issue, you can always pack on for your trip. You can wear it with a shirt or a t-shirt and pair it with jeans. Girls can also wear a light top beneath it and rest is all warm and nice.
Puffer Jackets
Puffer jackets are warm or in other words, hot. A puffer jacket is perfect for the winters in Copenhagen as the winter is quite chilling there. Pairing is not an issue because it is closed and jeans are the first thing that comes to mind to pair it with.
Beanie
Beanies these days come in many variations. You can select the one that suits you and then cover your head and ears from the snowy winds. Winters without beanies would look incomplete.
Woollen Socks
Feet are one of the first parts of your body that start drying in winters because of being thin-skinned. Always make sure you carry woollen socks with you so that your feet stay warm and soft.
Boots
Boots are stylish and look good with every outfit you wear. It is not important to carry the ones with heels but make sure to carry them. Flat boots for winters are the best gift that you can give to yourself for winters in Copenhagen.
