Beat Office Chill With Cuddl Duds

Hot summer? Yes, but that also means the air conditioning is often blasting indoors in places where you’d be just about the last person to get your hands on the temperature controls. I used to be known in the office for having a “work blanket.” It was a cashmere wrap and I used it to keep either my legs or my arms warm daily in the summer.

An easier solution? Sneak Cuddl Duds under your work outfits. Whether you need to put on a suit or a pair of scrubs (because we all know hospitals get cold!) to go to work, Cuddl Duds can work with your outfits. The cool part is that your coworkers may never know why you’re suddenly comfortable, free of goose bumps and no longer drinking a constant supply of hot tea at work. Whether you choose a tank or a long pant, you’ll no longer stress over air conditioning settings.

If you commute to work, a layer of Cuddl Duds can help you stay warm on the way, too. Chilly commuter trains, subways, buses and even carpool counterparts that don’t share your idea of “room temperature” can make the ride uncomfortable. But if you’ve got a Cuddl Duds Softwear Camisole under your work clothes, you won’t have to fumble to get your sweater out of your bag and onto your body. This way, you can feel the way you’re supposed to feel in the summer — warm!

Cool Summer Travel? Pack Your Cuddl Duds

Earlier this month I vacationed in Vancouver, British Columbia and the Gulf Islands. While it was in the high 90s in sweltering New York where I live, the temperatures on my trip rarely climbed above 60 degrees with lows in the 40s and 50s. Let me remind you it was July, and I confess I didn’t bring any Cuddl Duds.

If had I been planning ahead — instead of living in denial about the cold summer forecast — bringing a set of Softwear would have made a whole lot of sense! While part of our trip was spent in the city, we also ventured off to Salt Spring Island (shown in the photo above) where we stayed at an electricity-free cabin. It was breathtakingly beautiful and had a rustic calm to cure any high-strung New Yorker’s stress, but we had to build a fire to stay warm at night. In July. A puffy vest around the campfire and a triple layer of sleeping bags on my bed could’ve both been avoided had I packed my Cuddl Duds! And after a dip in the refreshing lake with a chill in the air, again, I could’ve used a set to warm up in.

So if you’re planning a trip to somewhere that might still be chilly even though summer is in full swing — taking an Alaskan cruise, touring through the Australian outback or even traveling to South Africa (where World Cup soccer stars dressed warmly) for example — pack smart! Even though your first thought might be to pack an extra parka or puffy vest, those winter staples will take up a lot of room in your luggage. However, a simple set of Cuddl Duds can slip easily into your carry on and add warmth to your summer styles.

Pair Cuddl Duds With Running Duds to Keep Warm

Whether you’re training for a 5K or running for fun, the brightening skies and climbing temperatures of spring provide plenty of motivation to get outside and hit the trails. But even when it’s warm enough for sandals and sundresses mid-day, the times when you’re most likely free to run — think early morning and in the evening after work — are often chilly.

Smart layering can keep you comfortable and keep you warm so you’re not shivering during your warm up and cool down. Since you’re not dealing with freezing temperatures, you can leave the heavy sweat pants and fleece zip-ups at home. In fact, you’ll probably only need a layer of Cuddl Duds on the top or on the bottom instead of wearing a full set.

On the bottom, Cuddl Duds Activewear Lightweight Pant can double as running tights. For added, humble, coverage slip a pair of running shorts or a running skirt over the pants. Or go for a warm shirt. On top, wear a Cuddl Duds Activewear Lightweight Crew Neck Longsleeve underneath your favorite running short-sleeve tee or a lightweight jacket. Both of these running outfits will keep you light on your feet and help you stay warm so you can enjoy your run.
