As the earth tilts and orbits around the sun, it causes seasons. Four seasons, spring, summer, fall, and winter, cause changes in the weather, temperature, and daylight hours. Each season has characteristics that make it distinct from the rest.
Warm temperatures and longer days characterize spring and blooming flowers. It is the time of renewal and growth as plants sprout from the ground and animals come from hibernation. Hot temperatures characterize summer as the days are longer and nights shorter. Summer is associated with swimming and camping to cope with the heat. Fall is a transition between summer and winter. The temperature reduces as the days get shorter and the nights longer. It is referred to as the season of harvest as farm produce is ready from summer. Winter is a season of cold temperatures and snowfall in many parts of the world. It has short days and long nights. Activities that are done during winter include skiing and snowboarding down snowy slopes. No matter the season, there will always be something to do
Seasons Clothings
Different clothing is worn during the seasons depending on the climate and temperature. During the winter, heavier clothes are worn by people. Woolen clothes are the most popular as they provide extra insulation against the cold. Hats and gloves are also worn to provide extra insulation and protection. Light clothes such as t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses are preferred during summer. These clothes are made from lightweight fabrics such as linen and silk to offer better aeration and cooling.

Key Factors
Layering is key when it comes to winter clothing. It would be best to start with a base layer of lightweight and breathable fabrics such as merino wool or synthetic materials such as nylon. These fabrics allow for free air circulation, keeping you warm without being too hot. A mid-layer of thicker fabric, such as fleece or wool, adds extra warmth and insulation. And finally, to top off your outfit, an outer layer of waterproof and windproof materials such as nylon can be used. While layering, the base layer should be light such as a long-sleeved shirt such as spiral African shirts and orchid African shirts, or a turtle neck. You can add hoods, cardigans, vests, and scarves when required.
It is also important to choose clothing that completely covers your body. Wearing long trousers to cover your ankles, gloves that cover your wrist, and hats to cover the ears. Boots with good traction should also be worn to prevent slipping on wet surfaces. If you are looking for something more stylish than practical, opt for fashionable ankle boots paired with thick socks. This includes the Aladdin pants and the African sweatpants.
One should also remember to wear accessories, scarves, earmuffs, and neck warmers; all help keep you warm in cold conditions. If you plan to spend some time outdoors, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the reflections of the snow.
