Cold is just a state of mind, it is sometimes said. As if you could just think away unpleasant temperatures. But we are not all The Iceman. And so we like to surround ourselves with comfortably warm winter gear...
Outdoor
Cold feet, worse: wet feet.... If we don't like anything it's that. Standing there in a soggy meadow with your dog and kilometres to go. Does it sound familiar? Then we have the ultimate tip: Grisport's Sutherland outdoor boots. Ideal boots because you put them on quickly thanks to the fine instep and zip so no fussing with laces.
When you walk, you immediately notice the excellent walking comfort but most importantly: thanks to the soft lining, your feet stay dry and wonderfully warm. Whether you are going for a short or very long walk. Yes, even long walks because the outdoor boot runs like the best hiking boot. It offers great cushioning, grip and support and is breathable thanks to the Spo-Tex membrane incorporated between the different layers of the boot. The PU midsole provides good cushioning and the Vibram sole ensures perfect grip and control on the ground. The upper is made of greased leather and suede. Costs €150 www.grisport.nl
Indoor
When Floris van Bommel teamed up with Kingdom of Wow! to design the perfect pair of slippers, they sold out within a few days. So time for a new drop, right on time, because now that autumn is over we are mentally preparing for winter. What kind of weather is it today? Slipper weather! Floris van Bommel: "Every autumn, but sometimes also in the middle of summer, I scour the web in search of the perfect slipper. I have tried everything, but the slippers from the Dutch company 'Kingdom of WOW' stand out head and shoulders above the rest.
Besides being blissfully comfortable, they are also biodegradable and the makers in Cambodia earn a 'fair wage'. Totally sustainable in other words." Handmade from biodegradable materials and comfortable to wear thanks to a rich blend of wool and bamboo yarn. Costs €89. nl.florisvanbommel.com
Radiant
Arguably one of the most brilliant new products we came across recently: the rechargeable heat pad, also available as a heating blanket, from Stoov. Heats your body in a very targeted way using long-wave infrared radiation. This not only provides pleasant warmth - inside or outside, wherever you want - but also has healthy 'side effects', such as improving your blood circulation, reducing pain, resolving joint stiffness, strengthening the cardiovascular system, reducing inflammation and revitalising your skin.
An additional advantage: with a heating pad or blanket, you can turn down the thermostat a little, because you mainly heat yourself and not the whole room. So that way, you save energy, which is nice in times like these. From €90 en.stoov.com
Warm
Stylish, comfortable and warm. That's what you can expect from this Hooded Down Jacket from the Colmar Originals collection. Italy's Colmar (amalgamation of the first and last name of the man who founded it in 1923 MARio COLombo; the fact that he started the company with his wife Irma was not factored into the name) has a reputation primarily in the skiing world, but also produces beautiful and functional clothing for life off the slopes.
Witness this men's mid-length jacket, in semi-gloss fabric and lined with natural down. The comfortable fit, adjustable with the drawstring at the bottom, the spacious low double-entry pockets, the detachable hood and the elastic band detail at the cuffs make it an ideal winter jacket. Costs €499 www.colmar.it
Versatile
Sometimes the weather is so unpredictable and changeable that you wish you had three jackets with you. For those days, Swedish Fjallräven offers the ideal solution: the Visby 3-in-1 jacket. Named after the coastal town Visby, a Hanseatic town on Sweden's Baltic Sea island of Gotland, known for its rapidly changing weather conditions. 
This jacket is therefore designed for versatile warmth and comfort.
Wear just the waterproof, breathable 2-layer shell jacket, with fluorocarbon-free impregnation, on milder days or combine it with the matching lined inner jacket on cold days. That inner jacket, in recycled polyester, can also be worn separately on dry days, for nice extra warmth. With handy pockets and drawstring hood, perfect for city and beach walks, whatever the season. Costs €600 www.fjallraven.com
Atmosphere sound
A cosy flickering flame, dancing to the beat of the music if you wish. This LSPX-S3 from Sony looks like a real candle or oil lamp, but has four different lighting modes and 32 brightness levels. So you understand: no fire hazard, because sheer electronic ingenuity.
Above all, it is an elegant portable speaker that offers excellent sound quality. Possessing Advanced Vertical Drive Technology, a technology with three drivers inconspicuously attached to the back of the organic glass that vibrate the full glass tweeter. The result is clear, powerful treble that is evenly distributed across the room. With a battery life of up to 8 hours, it is possible to take it anywhere for a heartwarming atmosphere with light and music. Costs €350 www.sony.nl
