As much as we hoped we could hold onto Autumn days, it’s clear that there’s no stopping the arrival of cooler weather. As someone that’s always cold, I know that as soon as we drop a degree, I’ll be layering up. So naturally, I’ve been spending the last few days working out how I can stay cosy and warm, all the while maintaining a stylish aesthetic. Impossible? I initially thought so. Then, I stumbled across a key find from Arket, which will help me achieve this.
Did you know that merino wool helps keep you warm by insulating instead of trapping heat? Merino wool fibres have a natural crimp, which allows them to trap dead air and act as an insulator—and a shield against the cold. This, in turn, helps keep your body at a more even and warmer temperature. I learned this a few years back when I was prepping for a ski trip, and now, whenever I see that something is made from merino sheep wool, my interest is immediately piqued. Cue Arket’s merino wool roll-neck.
