bundling up

Donning warm clothes

Bundling up is dressing warmly in multiple layers or heavy clothing, typically against cold weather: Bundle up, it's freezing out there.

Parents bundle up children before sending them outside.

The phrase suggests wrapping oneself thoroughly, often with coats, scarves, and hats.

By extension, to bundle someone up can mean tucking them snugly into blankets or covers.
