A Canadian winter vacation will be one that you will never forget. If you’re planning a winter getaway, come prepared. To help you, we’ve put together this guide on what to wear in Canada in winter.
If there is one thing you should not go to Canada in the winter without, it’s a thick, insulated winter coat. Trust me, thin jackets do not cut it for Canadian winters!
You’ll wear hoodies and sweaters daily, so include plenty when packing your winter clothes for Canada. Fleece hoodies, turtleneck cable-knit jumpers, and wool sweaters are all excellent choices.
Baselayers can be short or long sleeve t-shirts. If you are planning outdoor activities, it’s best to bring thermal base layers. And don't forget leggings or long johns!
If wearing base layers, all types of long pants make suitable Canadian winter clothes; jeans, sweatpants & cargo pants. For women, I recommended packing some fleece-lined leggings.
Wear boots for warmth, hats to keep your ears warm, scarves to snuggle in and gloves to block the harsh cold.
Canada is beautiful in all seasons, including winter. However, a winter trip does mean freezing weather, so it’s vital to pack the right winter clothes for Canada. Make sure to click through for the full guide!
