    1.What to wear? by Malwina

    In Poland in November/December the temperature is below 10°C, but seldom below 0°C. There is a high probability of rainfall at this time of the year. I recommend you to take:

    • sweaters/sweatshirts
    • long trousers
    • thicker tights if you want to wear a skirt
    • high socks
    • waterproof shoes
    • coat/ jacket preferably with a hood
    • scarf
    • beanie
    • thin gloves
