When it’s cold outdoors, the smart walker, cyclist or runner layers up. Of course, since the baselayer is against your sin and underneath several other layers, including fleeces and waterproof jackets, you might think that any old style and colour will do. (See our previous blog: Why do I need a baselayer.) But why wear something boring when you can wear clothing that is bright and fun? It’s dull and dreary enough in winter... so anything that will brighten your mood has to be a good thing.

 It could be a coincidence but at Outdoor Look we’ve been noticing a rise in the number of brighter and funkier styles of baselayers. Ok, so these are made only for your own eye – and possible that of your closest chums – but everyone knows that wearing clothing that makes you smile as you put it on will be more likely to keep you smiling all day long.

Think dark blue and black. Kind of boring, right? Think orange, red and flowery. Kind of fun? Yep!

Bright coloured baselayers for men and women

It’s not just the women who are being treated to wider ranges of fun-style baselayer tops and leggings. Check out, for example, the guys’ range of Under Armour baselayers in reds, yellows and oranges. 

The girls have some great choices, too.  Pink with red swirly flowers is one of the fabulous designs from baselayer kings Helly Hansen. Under Armour have fantastic pinks and bright greens in their ladies’ range.

Plus bright pink baselayer tights to match! greens 

And turquoise tops...

Never has winter clothing been so much fun!
