Now is okay!!! (November, first snow, low of -2 c high of 5 c)

You might want to wait a bit longer - I could understand if people thought you’re a bit weird.

A snow suit!?!? Are you crazy??? I think anybody who wears snow pants in public is so weird!!!

Wear whatever you want whenever you want, who cares!!!

Eg: going to a store, walking dogs, etc. I ask because it’s the first real snow of the year today where I live and it’s freeeezing cold this morning, and I’m seeing lots of people bundled up but nobody wearing their snow pants yet. I ask because I like wearing my snow pants or a snow suit out but I don’t really want people in the store or my neighbours to look at me funny lol.

So I thought I’d take a shot and see what SW has to say about the issue, so what time of year/approximately what temperature/snowyness do you consider appropriate to see someone wearing snow pants to the point where you wouldn’t really notice/care or if you did notice just not be surprised to see someone is wearing them?? I just want to avoid people noticing and being shocked that I’m wearing them

Ps to any of my followers seeing this: new story that I’ve teased foreeever definitely coming soon 😊

Civil War Union head of nurses Dorothea Dix concluded tight corseting for the famous 18" waist was dangerous to women's health. A young nurse vowed to continue cinching her corset tightly. "I'd rather be dead than out of fashion!"

Dix replied, "if you continue corseting, you won't have a choice - you'll be dead AND out of fashion."

Similar situation here with snow pants. Which matters more, a fashion faux pas or frostbite?

(Tip: wear panty hose over your socks and under your trousers. You'll be much warmer.)

@Mamapolo2016 But the problem is, I admit I probably don’t *neeeed* them, I just like wearing them for the warmth and the feeling. Nobody else is wearing them yet and I don’t want to feel like the only one with people looking at me weird :/

@SnowGirl I can't remember the last time I saw somebody wearing snow pants who wasn't skiing or sled-riding or hiking to the store because a blizzard shut down the roads.

@Mamapolo2016 Fair enough, definitely a lot of people where them here on snowy days.

So if you did see someone wearing them on a day like that, what would you do/think?? If you saw your neighbour wearing them on a chilly day but not a crazy blizzard?? Just curious 😋

@Mamapolo2016 Also definitely a good point about panty hose/leggings under pants, I definitely do that when it’s cold. But honestly as weird as it is I really prefer snow pants if I could get away with wearing them

@SnowGirl To be weird here you'd have to try much harder. 😂
