I don't care who laughs at me: thermal underwear is a godsend in cold weather.

I wear sweats under my work pants, just as effective.

Shit, fuck fashion, if its cold I'm wearing that ugly ass sweater grandma gave me lol

speaking for myself I'm used to the cold, it has to get REALLY freaking cold before it bothers me, and I wear shorts year round.

Course, doesn't make it any less stupid for most people to do that -just- to look 'stylish'. I swear people don't have brains anymore.

This is why I don't live in cold weather.

Ha! I remember the club bunnies in england. So cold that concrete pylons are splitting, and they were standing at bus stops in mini skirts, bare legs and with bare midrifts!

Mind you, coming from Auz, the whole snow thing was like being caught in one of the low-rent bolgias of hell anyway. (we knoweth not this frozen water stuff)


Crap! It's another 40`C day. I hate the heat!

- Ah well - at least there are cicadas!

Gawd, I can relate. It's getting into the single digits over here in PA (which for us, is pretty damn cold.) I go out almost fully dressed for a trip to Siberia and my face still feels like it's about to turn rock hard.

Ah minus 40 doesn't matter if it is Celsius or Fahrenheit, it is fucking cold.

was this a Darwin award in progress?

I doubt it, or else she would have gone frozen in place on her way to the gas staion.

I would warmed her up in an instant.

protip: it's possible to be fashionable and stylish while wearing warm clothes

Protip: style is pointless.

protip: some people like to dress nicely and take pride in their appearance

protip: you can put lipstick on a corpse, but it's still a corpse.

looking nice when i present myself to people is important to me, unlike a significant portion of furries and other internet denizens. that doesn't make me a bad person.

Dress cleanly, by all means. Being fashionable and stylish doesn't make you a good or a bad person. It makes you not a person at all. It makes you a corporate billboard and billboards don't care if its 70F or -70F outside.

So I'm less than a human because I like to wear nice clothes? I like to spend some of my hard-earned money on practical, comfortable, good-looking clothing. I like taking time every morning to organize outfits that are unique and trendy. I enjoy being well-groomed and expressing myself through fashion. Are you really so insecure that you get angry at people who care about their self-image? Go buy another ~majestic wolf~ t-shirt.

You just a poor person who can't afford to wear nice clothes. :(

Style does not have to mean brand name, and it also does not have to mean expensive.

Yes, keeping up with trends just for the sake of it is pointless. But there is a legitimate reason to look into trends also. Your choice of clothes says something about you as a person, and it can help to know just what the contemporary 'language' of style is. What looks professional? What looks casual? What looks conservative? What looks liberal? What looks intelligent? What looks outgoing? What looks serious? You get the idea.

This is what style is about.

Oh God...even though this may come off as a paradox as I'm a foot fetishist....but it's ALWAYS bugged the hell out of me to see girls wearing sandals and flip flops despite it's cold outside...I just feel cold for them seeing them suffer for the sake of fashion...or not planning ahead that Florida does in fact get cold fronts @_@

This was for fashion? Where's Red Forman and his 'Dumbass' comment when you need it?

She must be from Texas or California... I'm thinking Cali because Texans are smart enough to bundle up. XD

Awww. come on... Not everyone in Cali is stupid. Some of us do have some grey matter between the ears and we do use it

Well, I didn't mean everyone... Most of the girls that came to Texas for winter still wore flip flops even though the weather still got pretty cold.

I work at a restaurant, I see and hear these kinds of things.

****What can you say when its colder outside than inside your freezer?****

I believe my response is: "F-F-F-F-FUCK it's c-c-c-cold!"

Felt that way enough here in TX last couple of days. And yes, I was jacketed and gloved... and we're not even in the same NEIGHBORHOOD of cold as you're talking about.

Sorry, but Capri pants and sandals are never stylish. Nothing worn by retirees in Florida is.

Or teenagers in Sacramento either, for that matter.

*chuckles8 this brings back memories. hey rabbi. i had something like this happen. uphere in canada it was -25 celius (don`t know the F count for that) anyway. and this guy was standing at a bus stop in a hawaian(sp( tank top, short shorts, sandles, sunglasses some suncream on his nose and was holding a surf board. when i asked why he was doing it he just told me ì`m waiting for the bus son" and walked away as the bus came and alked back into the nearby high school >,> weird guy.

BTW, it was 75 degrees here today. Was 40 two days ago. Hmmm. I guess I shouldn't have gotten my Weather Control Machine off of eBay..

lol ir happens

i see the same thing when i LARP

same reason i always go with a large thick fur cloak with room for... a little company... underneath

Sadly, Rabbi, I see that all TOO often at my night job. Which gives me proof of the saying that youth, indeed, is wasted on the young.

And, um...

protip: You can still look fashionable for a lot less money if you FORGET THE @$%#!ING BRAND NAMES, kids.

I see that a lot, too. I don't really get it, either. I shudder just seeing them.

I'm a Californian. Temps under 50 degrees make me take notice. I bundle up.

Often see Gals and Guys wear flip flops and tee-shirts and go bare-legged in weather 50 degree and less. Either a fashion thing or they took their vitamin C tablets to withstand the elements like that. I can't do that.

My hubby can do that, he wears jeans and a T-shirt in all kinds of weather. But he's chubby, and I've noticed a lot of men have higher body temperatures than women, or at least retain heat better in several cases. So I'm not surprised to see them doing that, but girls, yea D: I get cold even when bundled under blankets.

Frostbitten feet. Amputated toes.

The reason why fuzzy slippers were invented.

Ugh. Man. Slippers are my godsend right now since its kind of hard to get shoes on when your not supposed to bend over XD
I have like 3 different pairs, one for inside, one for neutral outside, and one for flippin' freezing outside.
Oh, and of course, fuzzy socks :d

O.o
Have they not heard of fashionable winter clothing?
I mean yea, currently I'm nothing fashionable. I wander around in PJ pants, sweatpants and large T-shirts cuz of the baby and the fact that we haven't had the cash to pick up nice maternity stuff.
But seriously.
There was a girl like this today and I just stared at her and asked 'Are you really that uncomfortable with yourself that you have to dress in that sort of clothing when it's freezing outside?'

MUAHAHAHAH!

I've seen such buffoonish slaves of fashion on the streets.
Around here they are the minority.

Hell... yesterday my home town officially was colder than both the North Pole and the South Pole.

My brother would say, this is the very reason health care costs are sky high.

My response is: Obviously, there are too many mind-rending drugs involved.

Funny, I wear sandals in winter, most of the time, but with very thick wool socks, and only when they arn't going to get wet....

Mwahahahaha! There are only two things infinite; universe and human stupidity... and I have doubts about universe. ;)

I see way too many chicks doing this. They think miniskirts are totally fine stuff when the snow is moving sideways.

Oh yes. I remember these girls from my high school days. Always the pretty, popular ones. I'd be bundled up in thick heavy sweaters, while they run around in the skimpiest clothing possible (usually summer wear, as you've shown) showing off their goodies to the boys, sacrificing warmth for popularity.

to me it seems that ladies' fashionable clothing does anything but keep warm at all. even if they wear long pants, nylons, shoes, shirt and jacket at +10°C you see them walking stiff with their hands tugged in under the armpits. could be because their jackets lack pockets deep enough to bury a hand in...

lats few weeks have been more like -10°C, and you saw the ladies in high boots (and short pants, because the boots were so expensive they couldn't afford long-legged pants it seems) and thixck clothing, and the occasional weatherproof miniskirt-and-nylons and skintight stretch jeans variety. :)

hahaha... my red hat, brown mitts and black coat make a hideous combination
but you know what? I'm so warm on my walk to school :)

I saw someone the other day all bundled up against the cold, thick clothes, jacket, the works and yet THEY WORE SADDLES which more or less defeats the purpose of the thermalware everywhere else. Fun science fact, most the nerves in your body are located in the hands and feet so it doesn't matter if your dressed up like the next Antarctic expedition if your one step above going barefoot, your going to be COLD!

I see people like this and I just want to yell "You, out of the genpool!"
