How to Layer Workout Clothes for Cold Weather

When the weather cools down, the goal is to stay warm on the way to your workout without overheating once you start moving. Layers make that easy, because you can add or remove them as you go.

Layer 1: a fitted base

Start with a close-fitting top such as a fitted short sleeve yoga tee or a sports bra top. A snug base layer sits comfortably under everything else.

Layer 2: a cozy middle

Add a sweatshirt or fleece for warmth. The Embossed Logo Oversized Crewneck Sweatshirt gives a relaxed fit, while the Half-Zip Cropped Fleece Pullover is a cropped option that works well with high-waist leggings. A half zip also lets you adjust how warm you feel.

Layer 3: a zip jacket

A fitted zip jacket like our Fitted Zip-Up Cropped Workout Jacket is easy to take off and tie around your waist once you warm up.

Tips for layering

• Keep the layers closest to your body fitted, and let the outer layers be looser.
• Choose cropped tops with high-waist bottoms so layers do not bunch at the waist.
• Wear a zip layer last so you can take it off quickly.
