Is it just me, or has it just suddenly gotten really, really cold? Before the break, I found myself working on features, typing with fingerless gloves on. I was that cold. Not my chicest moment, I’ll give you that, but it was essential. 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.
