I was standing outside at the movie theatre with my mom. I was wearing a thick coat and my mom was dressed reasonably. It was in the forties today. I see a bunch of girls from my school wearing jeans and really thin hoodies. Some of them are in T-shirts and are hugging there arms and shivering. The rest of them are in super-thin AE, Hollister or Aero hoodies that do almost nothing to keep you warm.

I see girls and sometimes boys come to school wearing regular t-shirts when it is in the low forties in the morning and fifties in the daytime.

My question is:
why do they never dress for the cold? Do they think it looks sexy all exposed to the elements? Do they want the fantasy of a hot boy wrapping them in his jacket to come true?

They are not to poor to afford coats because they wear all the name brands.

Please reply to this and tell me what you think.

fashion > all when you're that age. Hell I still follow that rule occasionally at 21.

Me too.

Sorry, but when it's in the 50's, I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

Because they're stupid.

And Samurai's right, too.

Yea I usually don't wear anything but a thin hoodie myself till it drops below 40. Coats make me sweat. But then again, I start the swimming season in April and don't end till October... Nothing like mountain stream ice melt to get your blood pumping after a sluggish winter!

Actually, I was born in Minnesota and I moved to Texas a few years ago. Texas has what I would call "a different kind of cold." When it is 40 degrees in Texas, it feels like 32 in Minnesota. My mom and I went to MN for winter break to visit family and friends. I went sledding in MN in a T-shirt in 20 degree weather after I took off my coat. I wasn't cold at all, and infact a little sweaty (until I got snow down my shirt).

I was born and raised in northeastern NY, specifically, the Adirondack mountains where the temperature can go 80 degrees either way in a matter of about 16 hours. We have cold here that we call merely 'fuck you cold'! Anyways, i moved to Tennessee in 2000 and those folks cracked me up. I was working in an auto plant making instrument panels for GM minivans so it was kind of warm in there so I'd wear shorts to work, even in December. Those people thought I was mental!
Yankee, you stupid. It's cooooold! Shut that fuckin door.
So I'd open it again.
40 for is still shorts-able.
60 for folks in anything below Maryland is parka weather.

Ah i would give anything for it to be 40 right now, those 3 days of 50 degree weather a few days ago was paradise. No jacket, in january is perfect. But usually im in a cabelas jacket, F fashion in the adirondacks, theres no point to it.

yeah, Sunday we're supposed to have a HIGH of 9F! 9!!!!
low of -15/-20F!!!!!!!!!!!

BRRRRR.

This has been a weird winter so far, snow, warm, snow, warm, cold. Only 2 more months though till spring, and all this S.A.D can go away.
