Hello people of Europe. I know this is going to sound weird, but how do you dress for winter? I'm going to spend some months in France and it's going to be cold (at least for me). My city is very tropical and we are 30°C in the middle of our "winter". I just wear sorts and flip flops all the time. I don't want to go there and just wear 3 hoodies to avoid freezing. So... I would very much appreciate advice.
(Not going to /fa/ because of obvious reasons)
Interesting.
Quite intriguing
>he thinks Europeans wear clothes
Indeed.
Kys, you fucking aborted retard.
Astonishing.
Why would anyone wear winter clothing you idiot, they'll end up feeling hot.
>I'm going to spend some months in France
where, you fucking retard
It's not the same everywhere
and what is this stupid thread anyway, it's winter everywhere on this continent so expect to be cold
Cómprate un abrigo
are you fucking retarded you spics are supposed to be hard workers, yet you're too lazy to google "winter clothes" in 2 seconds you porch sitting monkey, I hope you have to pay 90% taxes of your already shit wage for the wall and i'm not even a drumpfghtie
Puzzling.
>where, you fucking retard
LOL rude
En Francia la temperatura será mas baja que aquí,abrigo ,guantes e ya está
Get gloves, a guy from Syria I was at univereity with got frostburn because he decided to ride his bike at -15 degrees without gloves. Nobody apparently taught him how to dress for cold.
Also invest in some long underwear, good socks and water and cokd protected boots. France is ok though mostly temperature wise.
My advice is maybe a bit hyperbolic but who knows how you handle the climate and where you will stay.
>cokd protected boots
well that got my interests going.
Okay, you're gonna have a shit time no matter how well dressed you are because you won't get used to the cold. Sorry.
What you can do and is fine is layering thin fabrics underneath big, massive thick wool sweaters.
So, for your feet, thin socks + big socks (like those sports socks) will hopefully keep you warm. Nice boots if you can have them or shoes that are water resistant. Not coldproofing your feet will be hell and you're bound to get sick fast.
Pajamas under Pants will keep your legs warm, and pajamas inside socks will be even better.
Wifebeater, Teeshirt, Thin long sleeve and big juicy thick sweater will keep your torso safe. A wind-proof jacket is your next most important item, it shouldn't let wind or water get to you.
Gloves are kinda optional because you have pockets. Hat is nice to have, go with something that covers the ears. You can survive a bit of cold without the hat, but anything harsher is gonna fuck your sinuses and everything up.
Breathe in through nose, breathe out through mouth; the longer the cold air is inside your system the warmer it is and easier to take in.
Also, don't wear same clothes. Wifebeater+Tee+Long Sleeved Tee+Hoodie will be incredibly more efficient and work better than 3 hoodies. Different clothes protect against a different element and shit. Also AIR POCKETS that you gain by wearing multiple comfy layers are far more powerful than wearing three sweaters.
These tips should have you incredibly comfy from 0 to -10 C for several hours or -20C for a few hours; and you might be okay indoors with such a setup.
Cold, I am a filthy phoneposter.
Good advice.

All that matters is a good coat, as long as you have one, you could wear whatever beneath it.
Gloves and scarf are a nice plus

its always the germans taking part in the terrible things in life.
First, which region of France will you go to, and when?
Did you know Hotdog is a teem so the sausages would not be called Frankfurters anymore?
Wartime renaming.
>Fuck you now I am hungry.
wat
Shit I am tired, sorry.
"Term".
You made me hungry with that Iguana picture.
don't get a frankfurt sausage, i tried them when I went to frankfurt, they where average.
Where in France??
It is ok, one doesn't need to fetishize it.
It is nice as ingreedient in a stew, though I prefer Mettenden.
As they are smoked and seasoned and hung for a bit they give the whole thing a hearty taste.
I think you guys scared him away.
Gloves, thick coat, winter hat, winter shoes.
Underwear.
Ps: Fun fact, another term for Frankfurter is Wiener. Viennese sausage.
Sausage feud about the origin included.
You, my friend, sound autistic. I would had liked to meet you in real life when I went to germany just to get the full german experience.
actually multiple layers is a solid choice, easy to adjust this way
You should find some kind of coat/jacket for rain/wind protection, although you can probably survive with just an umbrella
also cover your neck and face with a scarf (would recommend the loop ones, easier to put on), or a balaclava (if you don't mind looking like a terrorist)
gloves are optional
long trousers are mandatory, some people add long underwear, personally never had to
high boots are nice if it's wet/snowy but you can survive in regular shoes, not flip flops though
cold wind (like when biking) makes every difference in temperature multiply, it's easy to underestimate
wind protection is key
Funnily enough I am, luckily at the "better" end of the spectrum. Asking locals is allways a good idea and I would hope for the same when I am abroad, since the good and authentic stuff is often hard to find.
Nice birds btw.
>I am stopping to care if its get noticed, it allways comes out by my behaviour and I have to accept it.
My point is that hr didnt know that, which we take for granted. I probably would do stupid shit to get a heatstroke or sth similar regarding hot climate. One internalises these things by growing up in a specific climate.
forgot
wool cap, although hood from your hoodie is ok too (it might be even better, cause not all caps cover your ears/neck
ankles are important too, long socks, tight fitting trousers, and long underwear tucked into socks are acceptable options
you're right, i'm just referencing your post, not arguing with it
Wanted to clarify further, didn't want to argue either.
>Asking locals is allways a good idea
didn't know shit for german and i thought the whole thing would be one giant annyong clusterfuck trying to communicate with locals.
Depends, if they look in their twenties chances are high they speak english. At least university students. Also local tourist information centers can be really usefull.
>Wifebeater
Kek, the madman.
Other than that, spot on. I do all of that except the double socks, I wear vunene carape.
>information centers
Yea they where of great help when I was at the train stations. Majority where total cunts and spoke shit end english (probably that is how they got the job by saying they spoke english), though except this bald young dude. Most friendly person in the service industry ive met.
No clue why you guys have so much god dam tagging everywhere though, puts LA to shame.
Make sure to wear a cape, its like walking with your favorite blanket and european girls will be all over the fashion sense.
my typical winter outfit consists of heavy socks, pair of jeans, two thin shirts, woolen sweater, scarf, coat, hat & gloves if it's really cold (below 3°c-ish)

I hope you are not talking about the Deutsche Bahn information counters? I meant actual tourism bureaus financed by the town.
The Bahnpeople have a hard job and are not known for their patience.
Tagging as in those stickers? Mostly adds and politics in recent years. Idiots noticed its free advertisement for whatever and cheaper than most methods. Better than flyers for sure. Also some art there that can be nice,
I particularily dislike the Antifa stickers.
why
>I meant actual tourism bureaus financed by the town
There where some, one in boppard was nice but for big cities it was annoying finding them so I just went to the train ones and go do tourist shit i already more or less had planned out. Also I mean this tagging, its fucking everywhere. It's a plague that needs to be dealt with right along with gypsies.
Well....yes.
Let me put it like this: The more multicultural,modern and "hip" a city is the more Graffiti you will find. It is not really related to gangs as I see it since the people doing it mostly seem to like the art aspect.
>No clue why you guys have so much god dam tagging everywhere though
wigger culture
>since the people doing it mostly seem to like the art aspect.
well the fuckers have no talent, no need to continue with it. Also didn't see that many arabs/blacks/asians/foreigners in the big cities. Well at least compared to here.
And Turks, they think they are the mistreated black people of germany together with other immigrants.
Sure it is not great but not comparable to the situation of gangs in the states.
Frankfurt is turk-central, but germans also do it. It is not limited to ethnicity.Compare it to Greasers, be cool and do "bad" stuff.
>Frankfurt is turk-central
maybe it was due to where my hotel was at, but overall I left frankfurt early so didn't do much, the place is so god dam boring. Just a bunch of businesses/offices and was too lazy try to find interesting shit to do.
Where else where you?
frankfurt, then I think I took a boat ride to boppard (probably the most comfy and most enjoyable part of the trip), from boppard went to berlin and berlin to dresden. Berlin was the worst, felt like going to Disneyland where everything is fake as fuck.
Berlin is overrun with people wanting to make it in the big city, also a lot of foreigners and therefore a lot of english. Old Berlin is sort of dying, but that happens in every Metropolis I guess. Has some really comfy parts as well. Dresden is also nice, at least the properly rebuilt parts after the bombings. Commie Blocks suck.
In any case, europe and germany have some nice places and I hope you return. Will crash into bed.
>europe
I'll try another country
> I hope you return
Maybe but that is a long way off, too expensive and I want to see/travel other places and I don't want to spend money visiting a place twice if it is possible. Might learn germand move there in the long future ahead though if anything is possible.
Have a good night my friendly kraut from an amerimutt
I dunno much about "cold weather" so maybe you should go with pic relate?
