    Nah, there's a third gender: girl who is most fashionable in winter. Throw on a long overcoat that moves like a cape whilst walking, a massive drapey sweater, billowing pants with long wool underwear and knee-high wool socks, massive boots for stomping on your enemies, an insane scarf capable of lassoing a horse, make all this in black, you've got warmth and elegance.

        Finding a mire or less brand new wool peacoat on the side of the road that's only missing a button and having all three gang.

        Overcoats are plentiful at thrift stores, you can easily find a massive high quality wool coat for like $100, likewise with sweaters. You only need one sweater; so long as it's a good wool. You can even find fantastic new sweaters for like $150 that'll keep you well warm. That's like $250 and you're set for a decade+ of warmth and fashion.

          Sure, they exist, but finding the right one in your size will require time and patience. And maybe the thrift stores near you still have hidden gems, but all of the ones in my area have savvy employees that can spot quality items and sell them separately through online auctions.

    Winter clothes ARE fashion! Being able to comfortably layer jackets and wear an overcoat is way better than wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

    I was the left girl in high school because I couldn’t afford winter clothes in which I wouldn’t be bullied. Hope you feel real bad now for making fun of of it (kidding) (kind of)

    When it's cold you gotta do what you gotta do whatever it is that you gotta do

        Perhaps new gloves would be sufficient.

      Beyond a certain thickness, gloves are self-defeating. If they're going to be too chunky for dexterity, or to slip easily in and out of your pockets, you may as well have mittens instead; mittens chunky enough to be as warm as your pockets.

    I have shit circulation so I'll be cold anyway so why be cold AND uncomfortable.

    At least I'll go numb quickly in the first outfit and I'm not outside long enough to die.

    The right side is like basic British fashion all year other than summer. She's looking quite stylish tbh.

    At least I know what to wear when its cold out. I am completely lost and afraid when it comes to dressing myself
