How do I choose the right size in women’s long johns for layering?

A few days ago, we began to consider the way to select the appropriate size of women long johns to wear over, since most of us have a problem with striking the right balance between coziness and comfort.

Initially, we thought that it would suffice to choose a similar size as regular clothing. Nevertheless, when we had a closer examination we realized that layering needs a more specific fit so as not to bulk up but still keep the body warm.

In our experience, we have determined that the most effective method is to measure the waist, hip and inseam and compare to the size chart of the brand. Long johns to be layered on must be tight without being tight and must move freely under jeans, trousers or winterwear. The fit must not be too loose or it will be less warm, or too tight, which will be uncomfortable.

We also realized that elastic fabrics such as cotton-spandex mixes or merino wool are more flexible and comfortable in terms of layering.

The second thing we noticed when visiting Alibaba listings is that lots of sellers have detailed size guides and second-skin fit description to guide their customers in making a correct choice.

We have also been informed that the most important thing to perfect layering of long johns is that it should be properly measured and flexible.
