thrift parajumpers on sale store and wore that out to the bars
When I was in college, I bought a vintage fur coat at a thrift parajumpers on sale store and wore that out to the bars. It wasn’t very well kept, so it eventually fell apart, but it was warm, cute and I didn’t pay much for it so if I left it somewhere, it wasn’t a huge deal. I don’t know your feelings about fur, but I have a few vintage fur coats (including one ankle-length Kid Rock stunner!) and they’re about the warmest things I own. It’s an idea if you’re willing!
Take care of your hands. Ever heard the saying “Cold hands, cold heart?” It’s true. Cold hands are the worst. In cheer and college, we kept those magical heating squares in our mittens called Hot Hands! These are good for ice-skating, dog-walking and going to football games outside.
Since we’re all constantly connected to our iPhones nowadays, barbour mens coats glove companies figured out how to make touch screens work while our cold hands are hidden in their product: texting gloves. Isotoner’s aren’t the cutest ever, but they’re warm and they’re coated to give you a better grip on your phone. Invest in a great looking coat. The store I work at started carrying Canada Goose parkas last year and though I was skeptical at first due to their high price point (about $650), I’m convinced now. They’re the warmest thing I’ve ever worn. They’re made of four kinds of ethically-sourced down (no live plucking!) with a bendable, adjustable hood and a cinchable waist so they parajumpers for men give you a little shape.
I love Lumpy Space Princess, but I don’t want to look like her in my winter coat. Their coyote fur comes from Canada, where the fur trade is regulated by the government. They’re water-resistant AND they cover your butt, so it’s wins all around. If you live somewhere with extreme winter weather for a good chunk of the year, I think a Canada Goose is a worthy investment. If I decide NYC > Los Angeles, I’m getting one. I like the Kensington and Trillium styles best.In college, I often wore two pairs of thick tights under dresses with American Apparel over-the-knee socks when I refused to submit to the cold and wanted to look cute. Otherwise, the aforementioned fleece leggings/tights (mine are Plush, but you can get them anywhere at a variety of price points and colors) under skirts or jeans will keep your lower half warm. They’re super cozy and opaque.
