Jockey, one of India’s most trusted innerwear and comfortwear brands, has introduced a new trend note titled “Thermals vs ‘Just One More Layer’: The warmth myth, explained,” shedding light on a common winter dressing misconception. The note explains why thermals are far more effective than simply piling on multiple outer layers when temperatures drop.

As winter sets in, the instinctive response is often to add “just one more layer”—a sweater over a tee, a jacket on top, and maybe a scarf for good measure. While this may appear practical, it does not always deliver lasting warmth or comfort. According to Jockey’s trend note, warmth depends less on the number of layers and more on choosing the right base layer.

Thermals are designed to sit close to the skin, trapping a thin layer of body heat while managing moisture efficiently. This helps keep the body warm and dry throughout the day. In contrast, multiple outer layers often add bulk and trap sweat, which can eventually leave the body feeling colder and uncomfortable.

Heat retention begins at the base layer, especially during everyday winter activities such as commuting, walking outdoors, or running errands. Jockey’s ultra warmth full sleeve thermal top demonstrates how a well-engineered base layer can transform winter dressing. Crafted from soft-touch microfiber elastane stretch fleece, it retains body heat without adding weight. StayWarm Technology helps maintain balanced warmth from within, while StayFresh Treatment supports odour control during extended wear. Available in versatile shades like skin, black, and white, it blends effortlessly under winter outfits.

The same principle applies to winter wear below the waist. While stacking layers may seem effective initially, movement through the day often leads to moisture build-up and discomfort. Jockey’s ultra warmth thermal leggings offer a smarter alternative. Designed to sit close to the skin, their microfiber elastane stretch fleece construction provides steady insulation without restricting movement, making them ideal for active winter routines.

For those seeking consistent comfort through long winter days, Jockey’s extra warmth full sleeve thermal set offers balanced insulation without heaviness. Made from super combed cotton-rich fabric, the set feels gentle on the skin while delivering reliable warmth. StayWarm Technology ensures even insulation, while StayFresh anti-microbial properties help control odour. Thoughtful details such as a concealed waistband and classic colours like charcoal melange and black enhance everyday wearability.

As highlighted in Jockey’s trend note, winter dressing is not about piling on layers but about making smarter choices. By creating a functional foundation that works with the body, Jockey thermals allow every outer layer to perform better. The result is effortless movement, lasting comfort, and warmth that truly holds—proving that the right base layer makes all the difference.
