A little off track here with my response, but I don't think of winter and clothing as much as I think of winter as the time for ice skating, sleigh riding and tobaggoning (sp??), skiing, snowmen, hot chocolate, fires in the fireplace, and warm woolen blankets! Of course the ear muffs, scarves, warm boots, lined parkas, and soft fluffy gloves are nice too!

I completely agree. Much gets hidden under lots of clothes.
Now if winter were just not so cold.....

I agree that winter does have it's benefits. Wearing longer skirts, boots, and my lovely calf-length camel overcoat (camel as in colour not material!).
But it's so cold!
Why can't Scotland have winter in the summer like Australia?

I can empathize with those who are not fully out in that winter offers countless opportunities to wear what you would like. Been there done that. This is my second winter living fulltime so I now have a little different perspective. I try and dress fashionable, I've been called stylish by some that would know, lol. Sure I have my favorite coats like my black pea and the mink, but I hate covering up my nice dress clothes. I also miss wearing my sandals in the winter. Summer is the opposite where all I wear is shorts and cami tops, again nothing fancy. So for me, spring and fall are the best times when I can openly display my wardrobe, everything from dresses to slacks with nice tops.

Hi Jeri,
I agree that winter is special. While we in the San Francisco Bay area have pretty temperate weather compared to the Dakotas, winter is still the time to wear long skirts, pretty sweaters, tights, boots and my favorite black peacoat.
Summer isn't so kind if you don't have a very feminine shape. Wearing a corset doesn't work very well with a swimsuit....
Best,
Melody

Oh my yes. I can wear more feminine looking clothing & with it getting dark earlier it give one more places to go.

I love winter as much as summer, I enjoy the contrasting seasons, as they all have something to offer. My main reason for liking winter...................the skiiing!!!

I think of bitter winds, icy sidewalks, & cold cars. Not being able to feel my toes or fingers & having wet pantlegs.
