What to Wear in Prague in Winter (7 Outfit Ideas)
Short answer: Wear a long, warm, hooded coat over a sweater, with waterproof boots that grip wet cobblestones, plus a hat, gloves and a scarf. Prague winters hover near freezing, and you will spend hours outside.
Prague is a walking city. You climb castle hill, cross the bridge, stand at market stalls and then step into a warm café. These seven outfits start with the coat, because the coat decides whether you enjoy the day or count the minutes until lunch.
Old Town Square at night: chocolate brown maxi puffer
Our floor-to-calf puffer in chocolate brown suits an evening walk past the Astronomical Clock. It has a large hood with dark faux fur trim, a zip-and-button front and a drawstring waist that cinches the shape. Under it, wear a cream turtleneck, wide-leg wool trousers and black leather ankle boots with a lugged sole. Add leather gloves and a small chain bag. The long length covers your legs while you stand and look up at the crowds.

Charles Bridge at sunrise: navy diamond-quilted puffer
Go early, before the crowds, in our navy puffer with diamond quilting. It has a hood, a stand collar, a full-length center zip and zippered hand pockets. It falls around mid-thigh to knee, and the listing says windproof and waterproof, which helps on the bridge. Pair it with dark jeans, a gray knit sweater, waterproof boots with real tread and a wool beanie. The cut is slightly fitted, so check the size chart if you plan to wear thick knits underneath.

Prague Castle climb: pink quilted knee-length puffer
The walk up to the castle is steep, then you stand in open courtyards where the wind finds you. Our pink quilted puffer has a large faux-fur trimmed hood, a full-length zip, ribbed cuffs and zip pockets, with a thigh-to-knee cut. Wear a thermal base layer, fleece-lined leggings and waterproof hiking boots. Add a cream knit hat and warm gloves. The pink also looks good against the gray stone in photos.

Christmas markets: faux-fur hooded parka
Market evenings mean standing still with a cup of hot mulled wine, and that is when you get cold. Our knee-length parka has a thick padded shell, a large faux-fur hood trim, a front zip and a plush liner visible in the photo. It is sold up to 6XL. Wear a chunky sweater, jeans over thermal tights, insulated boots and mittens. Pull the hood up while you queue for a trdelník and keep your hands warm.

Café hopping and trams: cream puffer with side pockets
For a day of cafés, galleries and tram rides, try our cream puffer with black contrast panels. It has a hood with a fur-free trim, a front zip with a storm placket and large slanted side pockets. It sits at about mid-thigh to knee and the fill is bulky and warm. Wear a black turtleneck, straight jeans and leather boots, and carry a tote bag. Cafés run warm, so the zip front makes it easy to open up indoors.

This one is for mild days, train rides and a trip to Kutná Hora. Our long, thin quilted coat has a removable hood, a front zip, horizontal channels and a slim fit that falls to about mid-thigh or knee.

See the coatLayer for cold outside and heat inside
Prague's trams, cafés and museums are often heated well. Dress in layers you can remove: a thermal or merino base, a sweater, then your coat. A hood helps more than you might expect when the wind picks up by the river. Bring a hat, gloves and a scarf even if the forecast looks mild. Boots matter as much as the coat. The cobblestones get slick when wet, so choose waterproof boots with a grippy sole and wear warm socks.
