Autumn break at home

Short answer: A week at home in October means going in and out of the house in changing weather. You switch between garden work, walks and hours on the sofa, and your clothes have to handle all of it. Layers you can take off and put on quickly make the week easier.

In and out all day

Going in and out five times a day means more temperature changes than a normal workday. Each time you move from a warm living room to cool, damp air and back. If all the warmth sits in one thick layer, you are too warm inside or too cold outside. See bamboo hoodie for men.

Activity and rest

An autumn break is walks, garden work and long hours on the sofa. What you wear on a walk is too warm on the sofa, and what you wear on the sofa is too thin outside. A soft base you keep on all day and a layer on top solve most of it. See best sellers for men.

The weather decides the day

In October the plan can change from hour to hour. A sunny morning turns to rain after lunch, and a walk in the woods ends up shorter than planned. Clothes that handle some damp and dry quickly make it easier to decide on the spot. See best sellers from Copenhagen Bamboo.

Garden work in October

October is the month to get the garden ready for winter. Leaves need raking and pots need bringing in. That work warms you up, even when the air is cool. Wear one layer less than you think you need, and keep an extra layer by the door for breaks or when you are done.

The walk in changing weather

An October walk can start in sunshine and end in drizzle. Wear a thin layer under a jacket that keeps the wind out. That way you can open the jacket when you get warm and close it when the wind picks up. Choose socks that do not turn clammy in your boots.

The hours on the sofa

When you come in after a walk, it is nice to change into something soft and loose. Clothes that do not pinch at the waist or arms make it easier to relax. Hang wet clothes to dry straight away so they are ready for next time, and put on something dry and warm.

A soft base and a layer on top

The simplest answer to a week of mixed activities is a soft base you wear all day and a layer on top that you take off when needed. Then you only change the outer layer when you come in. It saves time, and you avoid changing clothes several times a day.

Laundry during a week at home

A week at home also means the laundry piles up faster than usual. Wash at a low temperature and let clothes dry indoors when it is damp outside. Soft fabrics keep best when they are not tumble dried too hot. Turn clothes inside out before they go in the machine.
