Whats with this reverse fashion?

nuffingman

The other day I walked into the town centre. It was bitterly cold and i was dressed like Michelin Man. There were teenagers walking around in T-shirts! What's the matter with them. In the summer when the soles of your shoes are melting they wander about in woolly hats. WTF?

I get a lot of weird looks when I'm walking around in a t-shirt while everyone else is wearing 6 layers of clothes, woolen hats, gloves and scarfs.

But it has nothing to do with fashion. I have cholinergic urticaria, which is mostly annoying, though it can get pretty serious in some people.

It's annoying, especially during the winter (but especially during the summer ) because when it's freezing I'm cold. I put on clothes but then I have to ride my bike to the station (and I need to hurry otherwise I'd miss my train), so by the time I arrive (or earlier) I strip down to my t-shirt. And then I have to haul around excess clothing all day. And it really sucks in the winter because they make the trains (class rooms, all buildings actually) extremely hot.

But I'm sure this is not what you were talking about. I obviously never wear hats in the summer That's just weird.

edit: Oh yeah, I get hives, itchy bumps all over my torso, arms and legs. It has gotten worse over the years, when I cannot find a way to cool down, I experience breathing difficulties (this rarely happens, though).

Sorry to hear about your condition. I'm always feeling hot, I melt in the summer but I couldn't walk around when it's -2 in a T-shirt.

Eventually I cool off, and then I can dress normally.

Flip flops in the rain. Now you're just being silly.

say what you will, i for one am VERY happy with the fact that chicago women don't let subzero temps stop them from wearing skirts that barely cover their cooch.

Are you sure your not in Newcastle? It's not just the teens that wear very little. I'm from Canada and I feel like a complete git because I actually dress for the weather while the locals run around in practically nothing! It's amazing.

PS cooch = pussy

we seem to have the opposite problem here in boston...it could be 60 degrees out and people are wearing their woolies...

It's called being an idiot; we know you're freezing your ass off.

I think its supposed to make them look cool. I for one like to wear flannel in the summer... Its the price I pay to enjoy wearing flannel all year long. (I do wear shorts with them though, so im not a total idiot ).

i wear jeans and a t shirt year round. no matter what the temperature is, i feel the same

I've noticed it too. Who wrote the memo that it is uncool to wear a coat?
I told my husband that when you go to a concert, you can tell who is old b/c they have a coat or jacket on.

Some people just think its cool to look like you're above lowly things like the weather. In upstate NY most people wear a coat in the winter. In Canada too, from what I've seen. I'll wear a tee if its +40, but when you get down to zero, or ten below, its just not a joking matter.
