Guangzhou is finally entering winter.
I finally packed up my winter clothes to wear.
This is probably the natural benefit of living in Guangdong.
Winter arrives slowly and does not last too long, so there will be much less winter clothing needed.
This is really saving money.
Last winter, I came over with 16 pieces of clothing.
This winter, I've found that it's still these 16 clothes that accompany me.
But the title says 17 pieces, because I plan to buy a pair of thick pants with velvet in December, so let's count it first, Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

1) So, what are these 16 pieces of clothing?
4 pieces of fleece long sleeved shirts for base wear
Hooded or uncovered hoodies, 4 pieces
Long pants that can be worn all year round, 4 pairs
(Including one pair of jeans, one pair of sports pants, and two pairs of wide leg pants.)
Thick woolen pants, 1 pair
Winter coat, 2 pieces
(One is a women's long style, and the other is a men's silhouette. I can have both styles.)
Down jacket, 1 piece
(I mainly wear it indoors. In the south, indoors is often colder than outdoors, and the colder I stay, the colder it gets. At this time, I will directly put on a down jacket.) What do you think about this?
As mentioned earlier, we should add a pair of thick woolen pants in December.
That's all my winter clothes, without scarves, hats, and other accessories.
No piece of clothing is very expensive, all of them can be washed in the washing machine.
I don't serve difficult clothes.
I also don't pursue buying an expensive piece of clothing to wear for 10 years.
My clothes are not expensive, the most expensive one should be a down jacket, which I only bought from Sam's supermarket at 599 RMB. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
Next is the winter coat, which was also bought at special prices of 299 and 199.
But their quality is very good, and the style is also what I like, that's enough.
Price is not my standard for buying clothes, good quality and what I like are the final choices.

2) Let's just say, having fewer clothes is really refreshing.
I took out my seasonal clothes after taking a shower at night.
The entire process should not exceed 15 minutes.
The general action is as follows: take out the winter clothes from the storage bag and place them on the bed, fold the summer clothes that are ready to be stored and put them in, and then hang the winter clothes in the hanging area. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
When those winter clothes are placed on the bed, they can't be piled up and are scattered.
I couldn't help but exclaim: I have so few clothes.
The scenery is completely different from when I tidied up my wardrobe five years ago.
I finally don't have to bury my time, space, money, and labor in clothes anymore.
I finally feel that it's me wearing clothes, not clothes enslaving me.
I quite like the feeling of having control over my belongings and life.

3) In Guangdong, wearing three layers of clothing is enough to keep warm.
So, my usual dressing style is:
If it's not that cold, a hoodie+undershirt+regular pants, or a hoodie+jacket+regular pants.
If it's very cold, a base coat+hoodie+jacket+thick velvet pants, or a hoodie+down jacket+thick velvet pants.
In Guangzhou, the combined cold weather should not exceed one month.
So, there's no need to buy too many thick clothes, just enough to wear. Having too many will only result in idle waste and take up a lot of space, making it troublesome to tidy up. What do you think about this?
With this combination, I actually only have 2-4 sets of clothes to wear, but it's enough.
As for shoes, I haven't specially prepared them for winter wear either, It's those two pairs of sneakers that I also wear in the summer.

4) How to wear it in winter to keep warm without appearing bulky?
In my opinion, the most lazy way is to buy a down jacket.
A down jacket is worth more than many ordinary clothes.
In the south, wearing a thin shirt underneath a down jacket is enough.
And I will choose a long down jacket that can keep my cold legs warm.
If multiple pieces of clothing are stacked, the choice of jacket is crucial
Last winter, I had dinner with my friends.
She wore three pieces of clothing, paired with a very slim fitting jacket.
I also wore three pieces of clothing, paired with a men's silhouette jacket.
As soon as my friend saw me, he said, 'You're really not afraid of the cold, wearing so little.'.
I was stunned for a moment and said, no, I'm wearing three pieces.
She looked at me seriously and said, 'I'm wearing 3 pieces too, and you're wearing 3 pieces too, but I feel like I'm wearing a bulky outfit.'. Don't forget to share your experience!
My friend's body shape is similar to mine, and In my experience the problem lies in the jacket.
Sometimes we feel that a slim fit jacket accentuates our figure, but if we wear it inside for too long, a slim fit jacket can actually appear bulky. What do you think about this?
So, I prefer to wear loose fitting jackets in winter, even if I wear a few extra pieces underneath, I won't be able to tell. Even if the clothes I wear underneath are relatively loose, there won't be any uncomfortable feeling of being restrained. What do you think about this?
Finally, I want to say that clothes are meant to be worn, and every time I want to buy clothes, I always remember that this is its true mission! Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
