Let's bring back thermal underwear...

thermal%20underwear.jpgThis morning, en route to work, I overheard my first little old lady saying 'it's time to put on the thermals!' And people found this rather funny. But she wasn't wrong; it's getting pretty nippy out there.

But it occurred to me that it only ever is little old ladies that make this very obvious adjustment to their wardrobe each winter, while the rest of us freeze in our 'sexy' all-year-round lingerie. Why? Is there any reason that thermal underwear can't be designed to look attractive too? It would certainly cut down on our use of heating if we had an extra layer of padding under our clothes.

And happily, it seems at least one label has had this idea. Enamore, makers of scrummy ethical lingerie have brought a touch of glamour to cozy underwear, including their fabulous Juliet nightie (and, of course, there's always the self-heating bra). But I reckon there's a lot of scope for truly stylish warming underwear this winter.

I'm embarrased to admit that I just bought my first thermal vest a couple of weeks ago. It was something like £3 in Matalan, and although I did question my age at the time, I think it's going to turn out to be a good purchase now that the frosty mornings are setting in :)

One sexy alternative to long underwear is over-the-knee socks. Thigh-high socks are hot! ;)
