A thermal top for men who freeze at the office

Short answer: What are the best thermal tops for men who always freeze at the office? The ones that sit close, feel soft and work as a base layer under a shirt or jumper. Here is what to look for and how to build your layers so you stay warm all day.

What are the best thermal tops for men who always freeze at the office

There is no single top that solves everything, because it depends on how cold the office is and how much you sit still. What works for most people is a thin layer close to the body and one layer over it. Choose the fabric by what you like to wear on your skin.

A base layer matters more than one thick jumper

Freezing at the office often comes down to sitting still and not producing much heat yourself. A close base layer holds the warmth you have and lets you take a jumper off if it gets warm. A soft bamboo T-shirt for men under your shirt is an easy place to start.

Soft fabrics against the skin

When you wear clothes all day, small irritations become obvious. Bamboo viscose is soft and smooth, and you can find bamboo underwear for men that lies flat under your clothes. It makes a difference if you do not want to feel seams and edges while you sit at your desk.

Fit under a shirt

A base layer should sit close without squeezing, or it bunches up under a shirt or jumper. Choose a size that covers your stomach and lies flat under the belt. A length that does not ride up when you sit makes the working day much easier.

Cold legs under the desk

Many people freeze around the legs because cold air collects near the floor. A pair of bamboo boxer briefs gives a soft layer, and you can consider long legs if it is properly cold. Keep your feet dry and free of tight socks so the blood can flow freely.

Hands, neck and feet

The parts of the body that stick out freeze first. Bring fingerless gloves or a scarf if the office is cold, and sit so you are not directly in the draught. Small adjustments often work better than a thicker jumper and can be made without changing your whole wardrobe.

When it is something other than the office

If you are always cold, even when others are comfortable, there may be causes other than the office temperature. If it is new, or you are often tired and cold, talk to your doctor. For ordinary cold at the office, dressing in layers often helps.

Washing and caring for a base layer

Follow the care label and wash at a moderate temperature so the fabric stays soft. Avoid high heat in the tumble dryer, which can make the fabric lose its shape. Rotate between several sets so each one dries completely between wears and does not end up smelling stale.
