If you're a summer person like me, you probably dread the arrival of winter. Not only are you unable to enjoy most outdoor activities, but you also need to put on heavy layers of clothes every time you go out. And I'm the kind of person that hates wearing high socks, turtle-necks, scratchy scarves and similar types of clothing pieces designed to keep you warm. And this, my friends, is why I used to avoid going out in the winter whenever it was possible.
But after a while, I learned to love the cold season. After all, the cold burns more calories. And instead of wearing layers of heavy clothes, I've found that you can stick to just one and still feel warm. Well, as long as you choose the right material. While wool is certainly a great material for keeping you warm, I could never tolerate how scratchy it felt. So, for me, my winter uniform mostly consists of bamboo pieces.
Why? Well, there are many reasons. For one, bamboo is heavenly soft to the touch, quite similar to cashmere. And when transformed into knitwear, it can keep you warm just as good as wool can. But it's better than wool, believe me! While wool may keep you cosy when you're outsides, as soon as you enter a heated environment, you'll start feeling uncomfortably hot. However, bamboo has the advantage of being thermoregulating. In other words, it allows you to adjust your body's temperature according to the conditions. Therefore, when it's cold – bamboo can warm you up, and when it's hot – it can help cool you down. So, if staying comfortable this winter is important to you, consider buying bamboo ladies knitwear online or from a local store.
Another benefit of bamboo is that it's a highly breathable fabric, which means you're less likely to sweat while wearing bamboo knitwear, which anyone who has ever worn a wool sweater has experienced. Additionally, even if you do break out a sweat, bamboo has great moisture wicking abilities and will help you get dry fast. And we all know that getting sweaty is the worst when you're out in the cold.
And finally, bamboo knit wear is a great solution for those of you who have sensitive skin or suffer from eczema. The fact that it's not treated with any harsh chemicals, means that bamboo knitwear is less likely to cause any skin irritations or allergies. So, if you want to stay warm this winter the healthy way– bamboo is your best friend! Oh, and you'll look great too as there are many stores selling stylish bamboo ladies knitwear online.
