Let’s be honest—when you hear "thermals," your mind probably goes straight to something your nan used to wear under her winter coat. But times have changed. Thermals for women have had a glow-up, and at The Foundation, we’re here to prove that staying warm doesn’t mean compromising on style.

Why Thermals Deserve a Spot in Your Everyday Wardrobe

Think of thermal clothing as your invisible superpower. They let you rock that stunning trench or oversized blazer without bulking up like the Michelin Man. Whether you're on the school run, heading into the office, or catching up with friends over brunch, a good set of base layers can elevate your outfit while keeping you warm and dry.

The trick? Choosing layering essentials that look good enough to be seen but feel like you’re still in bed. That’s where our collection steps in—with thoughtfully crafted designs that blend elegance and practicality.

From moisture-wicking fabrics to cosy modal-blend thermal long johns, our pieces have all the right ingredients for comfort and style.

Say Hello to Our TBL Modal Cashmere Favourites

Soft, stretchy, and buttery against the skin, our cashmere thermals are the ultimate winter MVPs:

TBL Modal Cashmere Long Sleeve Top (Black, Ivory, or Corda) – A versatile classic that pairs perfectly with jeans or hides discreetly under knits. A winter staple that doubles as outerwear. This is our Essential Thermal Long Sleeve Top—without the bulk.
TBL Modal Cashmere Tank Top Black – Light but warm, ideal for days that shift from cool mornings to warm afternoons. If lacey styles like the Lace Trim Thermal Cami aren't your thing, this sleek tank is your go-to.
TBL Modal Cashmere Legging Black – Designed to hug without squeezing, they slide right under trousers or loungewear, acting as sleek thermal leggings and thermal pants.

Together, these pieces form your go-to set of thermal underwear and thermal tops—essential wardrobe layers built for both comfort and confidence.

Style Meets Function: How to Wear Your Thermals

Here’s how to style your layers like a pro:

Base it right: Start with your TBL tank or long-sleeve top.
Layer it up: Add a chunky knit, wool coat, or relaxed-fit button-down.
Seal the deal: Finish with boots, a scarf, and a bold lip (if that’s your thing).

Still worried about ending up looking over-layered? Stick with slim-fit cashmere thermals—they keep everything sleek without adding bulk.

Why Women Are Swapping Their Sweats for Stylish Thermals

Here’s the tea:

Comfort that lasts all day
Temperature control that works—no more sweating indoors or freezing outside
Stylish enough to be seen
Moisture-wicking fabrics that keep you fresh on the move
Quality that lasts season after season
Thermals designed for women—no more settling for generic cuts and shapes

And honestly, with Australia’s moody winter temps, having that extra warm layer you can peel off or show off is just plain smart.

Your Winter Wardrobe Upgrade Starts Here

Gone are the days of itchy, shapeless layers. Modern women’s thermals are all about comfort, elegance, and versatility. Whether you're layering for function or fashion (or both), these pieces are your not-so-secret weapon against the cold.

While The Foundation doesn’t currently offer merino wool thermals, polypro thermals, or fleece options like moisture-wicking fleece, our TBL Modal Cashmere range delivers the same luxurious feel, breathability, and performance. If you’re on the hunt for women’s merino wool base layers, think of our modal cashmere alternatives as your softer, sleeker swap.
