【🧥 Dressing Guide】
Swedish winter is super unique! With temperatures from -4°C to 2°C and 6 hours of polar daylight, you must learn the "onion layering method"!
✓ Base layer: Merino wool sweater
✓ Middle layer: Fleece or light down jacket
✓ Outer layer: Shell jacket or down coat
Tips: Indoor heating is very strong (22°C+), so bring clothes that are easy to put on and take off~
