Must-have winter clothing for South African winter

Winter in South Africa lasts from June to August, and depending on where you are, the temperatures can vary. Daytime highs hover around 19°C, but nights can get as cold as 5°C. So, having the right clothing is key to staying comfortable during the season.

Start with thermal tops or long-sleeve shirts to layer up. These help trap your body heat and keep you dry. Wool or fleece sweaters are great for adding warmth. A good jacket, like a puffer or long coat, is a must for those chillier days, especially if it’s got a hood and is windproof. Fleece-lined leggings or thermal pants are perfect for the early mornings or colder evenings. As for shoes, insulated boots or warm sneakers with thick socks will keep your feet cosy when you're out and about. Accessories like scarves, gloves, and beanies are must-haves.
