Stay Cosy and Stylish This Winter with the Right Thermal Layers

Winter layering doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style for warmth. If you’ve ever stared into your wardrobe wondering how to dress for the cold season without looking like a marshmallow, this guide is your new best friend. Let’s talk thermals for women—your secret weapon to building sleek, stylish winter outfits that actually keep you warm, even when the temperature drops.

Why Thermals Are a Must-Have for the Cold Season

Forget those stiff, itchy long johns from the past. Today’s women’s thermals are designed for performance and style. Think TBL’s modal cashmere thermal technology blended with a little elastane for a perfect fit, these natural fibre base layers feel like a second skin but offer ultra warm thermal weight insulation.

Top Picks from The Foundation’s Thermal Collection:

TBL Modal Cashmere Long Sleeve Top (Black, Corda, Navy, Ivory) – A Long Sleeve Crew Top with a refined silhouette and breathable moisture-wicking properties.
TBL Modal Cashmere Tank Tops – Perfect base layers to keep you toasty under winter basics.
TBL Modal Cashmere Legging (Black) – Like thermal pants but better—streamlined, flattering, and incredibly soft.

Our base layers rival Australian Merino wool in warmth while offering a smoother fit under clothes. Plus, they’re sustainably made, staying true to eco-conscious practices.

Layering Tips: Build the Perfect Cold-Weather Outfit

Layering doesn’t need to be complicated. Here's how to stay snug and stylish in your winter outfits:

1. Begin with a Fitted Base Layer

Start with thermal tops and women’s thermal leggings from our TBL collection. They sit close to the skin, trapping heat effectively while remaining breathable.

2. Add a Stylish Mid-Layer

Think slouchy knits or organic cotton tops—perfect for style and insulation. Pair them with our TBL Modal Cashmere Tank Tops or Long Sleeve styles for an ultra-comfortable base that keeps you warm without bulk.

3. Top with a Weather-Proof Outer Layer

You’ll want something practical and sleek—like a rain jacket or puffer. Ideal for wet walks in a national park or city days. Add hiking boots or hiking socks for that ready-for-anything look.

What to Look for in High-Quality Women's Thermals

When shopping for thermals in Australia, keep an eye on:

Breathable natural fibre blends like modal and Australian Cotton
Moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry all day
Lightweight yet insulating fabric like polypro thermals and micro double-knit

The Foundation’s curated thermals combine function and form—designed for everyday wear, family travel, and even layering under ski suits.

How to Make Thermals Part of Your Winter Outfit Rotation
