First Klaire recommends getting a pair of leggings and advice against buying merino wool.
She adds that not only are they expensive, but will wear down quickly as you’ll be wearing them all the time.
Instead, she suggests picking up a cheap viscose pair from Primark and sizing up by a size to make sure they don’t wear out as quickly.
Next, Klaire recommends picking up lots of cheap oversized t-shirts, and adds they’ll be cheaper to buy in the men’s clothing section.

“You want them baggy so they create a bit of an air pocket, you do not want them skin tight,” she adds.
You can add a skin-tight layer underneath to create more layers but by creating an air pocket you’ll stay warmer.
She also suggests grabbing a big baggy coat to wear around the house, and making sure your feet are covered at all times by wearing socks or slippers.
Lastly, Klaire recommends picking up a snood – a tube-like piece of fabric that goes around the neck.
She adds if you can’t afford to buy one try cutting up a pair of old leggings and using that.
The video has since gone viral with over 75k views and many people took to the comments to thank her for her tips.
