Is your office so chilly it feels like you should be wearing a parka to your desk? You’re not alone; many workplaces keep the thermostat low year-round. If you’ve been wondering how to stay warm in a cold office without sacrificing comfort or style, we’ve gathered 10 practical (and cozy) ideas to help you get through the workday, no matter how frosty the office gets.
If your workplace is consistently chilly, preparation is your best defense. Dress in layers so you can easily adjust your comfort level throughout the day, and keep an extra layer, like a cozy cardigan, or throw blanket, within reach at all times. Having something that “lives” at your desk or on the back of your chair ensures you’re never caught shivering. Just remember to wash those layers regularly to keep them fresh.
According to the LA Times, the recommended office temperature falls between 68°F and 76°F. Many workplaces keep it on the cooler end of that range, though. Why? It’s generally easier for people to warm up by adding layers, using a space heater, or slipping on gloves than it is to cool down while still looking professional.
You don’t have to let a chilly office distract you or leave you uncomfortable. Now that you know how to stay warm in a cold office, you can layer up, make small workspace adjustments, and keep cozy accessories on hand to create your own little zone of warmth. With a few simple changes, you’ll stay comfortable and productive, no matter what the thermostat says.
