How To Stay Warm This Winter- Smart Merino Review

It's freezing in the UK and I'm struggling to think of ways to stay warm without wearing too many layers. One tip that I often get from stylists and fashionistas is to layer, layer and layer- layering gives the body more warmth without too much bulk, and it's definitely the best way to stay warm this winter. Meet Smart Merino, a lovely brand that sells some of the best thermal layers that I've seen in a long time. I want to talk about my honest experience with the brand, and how I ordered a thermal layer from them, and what I think about the quality and fit of the piece.

A bit about the brand- originating from New Zealand, Smart Merino specialise in superior quality ethically sourced New Zealand made men’s & women’s 100% merino wool base layers, thermals, lingerie, underwear, accessories & more. They have a variety of sub-brands, including Brass Monkeys, Nature's Secret & From Merino With Love. There's lots to choose from, and it's exciting to choose something from their shop.

The ordering process is simple- you can either order from their site or from Amazon, and I chose to do the latter. I simply chose this lovely From Merino With Love Long Sleeve Top from the brand and ordered it from Amazon Prime in the UK. It was simple, straightforward and hassel-free. I chose a Size Small since I didn't want it to be too loose for layering. It's better to get thinner tighter layers to wear underneath as opposed to looser fabrics. I also chose white as it's a light, crisp colour that can be worn on it's own. 

The package arrived within a day and it was incredibly fast! Take a look below!

As you can see, the quality of the thermal layer is amazing. It's made from 100% pure merino wool which originated from New Zealand. New Zealand has some of the finest merino wool because of the quality of their sheep, and it's of no surprise that some of the most valuable wool are produced there. This top is extremely comfortable, feels ultra soft and smooth. There wasn't irritation when I tried it on, and I've been wearing it everyday underneath my jumpers and jackets for extra warmth. I have to say, it's really keeping me cozy and toasty all winter.

As for the design and fit, this top is designed with a rounded scoop neck & safety stitch seam for the ultimate lightweight, warm, soft, comfortable, superior quality base layer. The round neck means that it's not too revealing and low-cut, and it protects the chest area which is vulnerable to the cold. It's odour-resistant, fast-drying and moisture-wicking, and I never feel the need to take this off at all since merino wool regulates your temperatures pretty well.

Overall, I'me extremely happy with this thermal base layer, as it's impeccably designed and made with care. The quality is outstanding and the design, feel and effect of this top is on point. It definitely keeps me warm during the winter months, and I'm extremely happy with Smart Merino and their beautiful products.
