Staying Warm on the East Coast

[whorishconsumer]

This is more of a general interest question than fashion or shopping related, although I am going to New York in a month and will undoubtedly be freezing my balls off there, so this might help. How did you kids keep warm over there? A shirt, sweater and coat doesn't seem to cut it. More the point, do y'all where thermals?

layering, hats, scarves, gloves, coats, thick socks

Pretty much if you're gonna be in NYC (which is what I assume), you gonna at least want to wear a heavy winter jacket. No need to really layer, unless there's snow in the forecast. Your best bet would be to layer, but not too much. A thermal underneath a t-shirt would be acceptable, hell even the thermal by itself would be fine. Also if you going to be going in and out of stores a lot, you might not want to layer too much, most of the time stores have their heat up pretty high, so you might want to just keep the do a pea coat, scarf, hat, and gloves, this way you don't over dress yourself and you have less to deal with.

I would say a thermal and another layer or two should be fine for normal, everyday walking around. If you're going to be outside for a while though, I'd toss on a winter coat or a couple more layers. It's pretty damn cold already up here. Yeah, going in/out of stores can be hard to do when you're layered out, with their heat up and if you need to try shit on you're in for a lot of changing time. WeirdNJFan's got the idea pretty much nailed down, thick-ish coat, and a layer or two under it should be fine, toss on some accessories too if it's still a little chilly.

Nowhere like NYC at this time of year.

when shopping or riding the subway i don't wear layers because the hot to cold fluctuation sucks. so you wear a warm ass jacket and take it off or unzip it inside.

thermal base layer, cashmere/wool sweater, coat, scarf hat and gloves

like what proletariat said... dont layer too much... it gets pretty warm indoors... taking off layers is a bitch

[willy cheesesteak]

i usually go with jacket, hoodie/sweater/cardigan and tshirt/dress shirt. scarf and hat is optional. it hasn't really been that cold as of late though.

Imma use this thread cause i don't want to make a new one: someone link me to some winter coats that are available online and cost less than $500. Emphasis on staying warm in sub-zero temperatures and bonus points for overall dopeness. Will dish out rep to anyone who brings dat heat.

all you really need is a good coat. layering isn't necesary unless you have a coat that isnt warm enough. all I wear is a t shirt and my coat..

the breaks, check out Canada Goose, love those jackets! right around 400-500$

Rakuten has the usual suspects, and $5-600 on rakuten+proxy can buy a lot.
