It was pretty pathetic seeing all the bizarre headware, ski caps, hunting caps, etc., that people were wearing. If you go to an event like this, dress up a little! But people just don't have nice headwear. And even the coats were so tacky. Nobody ever spends more than a few minutes out of a heated environment these days to really need to invest in dressy outerwear that is warm.
You are right on the money. I live in Florida and I have cold weather clothing because I ski, but I know many people here who don't own a jacket, gloves, or hats. I've lent my stuff to friends who head north on vacations in the winter. It's pretty common for people going north to piece together winter clothing from friends.Miss_Bella_Hell said:It's about 29 degrees there. People from my neck of the woods would probably be fine with layers and an overcoat (i.e., dressy cold weather wear) but consider the sheer volume of visitors from warmer climates that literally have no need to purchase warm clothing, unless they're skiers. Also, the millions of people that are supposed to be there make it less practical to dress up; think mud, muck, sleet, and general dirtyness.
