When I arrived in England, the temperature was about 0C. I was wearing a winter coat, a hat, and mittens. But when a guy on the street asked me if I was cold, I soon realized that I was overdressed compared to the locals. I arrived on a Saturday, when everyone was going out. The 'going-out outfit' consists of: a short dress, sandals, and no coat. Why not wear a coat in the winter? Is it because of fashion, because they're resistent to the cold weather, or because they do not want to forget/lose their coat at the bar? (there are coat checks in clubs, and they're fairly unexpensive- and empty).
While I thought it might be an 'England' thing, there was recently an article written in a UK publication about the phenomenon. So I guess not everyone agrees with this type of attire! Click on the link below to read the article and see the pictures of freezing girls (at the bottom right corner of each picture, it is indicated where the pic was taken, and what was the temperature at the time). P.S. I really hope someone helped the girl sleeping in the snow after the picture was taken...
