Layering Clothes 

Layering clothes means that clothes can be put on and taken off, when necessary, to keep a comfortable temperature. Outer layers can be removed if an individual is feeling too hot, allowing the body temperature to drop to a comfortable level. By keeping a base and mid layer on, it prevents the body temperature dropping too much, when outer layers are removed. Frequently, children have too many or too bulky clothes, preventing them from moving easily. If they are wearing a bulky coat they are too hot with it on, or too cold with it off. Getting the layers of clothing right, really helps when outdoors.
