After the beginning of winter, it heralds the official arrival of the cold winter. The temperature in various places has gradually dropped. Some areas have gradually experienced sub-zero weather and silence. It’s time for the autumn clothes and trousers that have been worn for a year (also known as thermal underwear) to be officially launched.

So how to choose thermal underwear?

To know how to choose thermal underwear, you must first know what materials thermal underwear is made of. At present, the more common thermal underwear on the market generally include German velvet, alpaca wool, golden velvet, and pure cotton. So what are the differences between these types of thermal underwear? Which one is suitable for you to buy?

01 / Pure cotton thermal underwear

Pure cotton fabric is a pure natural fabric produced from cotton as raw material through textile technology. Because cotton fabrics have the characteristics of moisture absorption, heat resistance, alkali resistance, and warmth retention, thermal underwear made of pure cotton fabrics has good moisture absorption, heat resistance, and warmth retention properties, and is soft to the touch and comfortable to wear.

02 / DeRong thermal underwear

DE Velvet is a new type of chemical fiber fabric that is a functional fabric. De velvet fabric has exquisite craftsmanship and is covered with a layer of waterproof chemical substances. The product has a bright color and is as dazzling as a diamond. It is also called diamond velvet. German velvet fabric not only feels good, but the fluff on the surface can form an air layer and has better warmth retention. It is the best partner for autumn and winter clothing. Therefore, many manufacturers use German velvet fabrics to make thermal underwear for warmth and slimming.

03 / Alpaca thermal underwear

Sheep Camel hair, that is, alpaca fleece fabric, not only has good insulation and heat retention properties, but also has no odor, good elasticity, no pilling, no water retention, can resist solar radiation, and does not shrink after washing. Therefore, thermal underwear made of alpaca fabric has good elasticity, feel, and warmth retention, and does not shrink after washing.

04 / Golden velvet thermal underwear

Gold Velvet is a new type of fabric with beautiful appearance, light weight, natural and soft color, and smooth and waxy feel. It enjoys the reputation of “cashmere” velvet internationally. Thermal underwear made of it has good warmth retention, good elasticity and bright color, and is very popular.

Whether it is pure cotton, German velvet or thermal underwear made of alpaca and gold velvet, it is generally comfortable. The strength and warmth retention properties are both good. As for which kind of fabric to choose for thermal underwear, it mainly depends on personal preference and financial strength. Personally, I recommend German velvet and pure cotton thermal underwear. They are not only warm and comfortable to wear, but also affordable and can be accepted by most people. If you are particularly afraid of the cold, you can consider thickened and velvet thermal underwear (usually gold velvet, lambswool, etc. are added inside), but it will look a little bloated.
