The coldest winters in Europe are generally found in Russia, with daily highs in winter averaging 0 °C (32 °F), whereas the mildest winters are found in southern Portugal, southern Spain, and the coastal districts of Sicily and Crete.

Long sleeves, floor length, and numerous layers of fabric will all keep you warm while still looking stunning. With a longer dress, you’ll be able to layer some thermals underneath.

Keep in mind you have enough additional layers to wear over your outfit. Knitted sweaters and faux-fur are fashionable accessories, but for even more protection, invest in a high-quality insulated jacket.
