SHE knows a few things about dressing for the cold, considering she lives in Finland where it's -15 degrees. Solveig has her perfect outfit sorted after many years of living in a freezing cold climate, and took to TikTok to share exactly what she wears - and the order she puts them on.

She begins with a pair of yoga trousers, before adding a long-sleeved, longer line top. She then adds some "outside trousers" - in this case a pair of camo ones - and a pair of woollen socks. "Never put socks under your woollen socks because you stay much warmer when you have nothing underneath," Solveig advised.
As well as that, she pulls the socks over the top of the trousers at the bottom, to ensure "no snow gets in". "Takes like half an hour to put this s**t on!" Solveig laughed, adding that she gets "so hot" when she gets all her layers on inside. She then puts her winter boots on.

And her next step is arguably the most important, as she said: "Next layer. "A wool shirt made with REAL wool. "None of this polyester s**t.". She adds a pashmina, and does it up "tight around the neck" because it's so "breezy" where she is. The last item of clothing is a jacket, which only has a quarter zip and an elastic toggle around the bottom to ensure the wind doesn't get underneath.
![[She also added a hat - although not a very thick one - as well as a tight scarf]](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/c4197ee8-4e44-492d-affd-ad60f338ba8b.jpg?strip=all&w=576)
Accessory wise, she adds a hat, but notes she has "very thick hair" so doesn't need anything too heavy. And she also has "very warm hands all year round", so just puts a pair of fur-lined mittens on - putting the thumb through the thumb holes in one of her jackets.
