What to Wear on a Morning Walk When It Starts Cold

For a brisk neighborhood walk on a cool, breezy morning, start with full-length leggings, a long-sleeve top and a light windbreaker. If it’s cold enough that you need extra warmth, add a fleece or another insulating layer under the shell.

Check the wind and how long you’ll be out

Look at the forecast for both ends of your walk. A shell helps block wind, while a midlayer provides insulation. If you’ll be walking slowly or stopping for coffee outside, dress for those quieter stretches too. REI’s layering guide explains how the layers work together.

Build the outfit around full-length coverage

The Fieldtime Navy/Kashmir Blue Flare Leggings cover the full leg and have a high rise and a double-layered waistband. Pair them with the Navy/Kashmir Blue Cropped Windbreaker, which has a half-zip front, mesh lining and adjustable drawcords. This pairing suits cool, breezy walks. For colder conditions, choose warmer bottoms and add an insulating layer.

Compare laid-flat measurements in the Fieldtime Size Guide before ordering.
