I own a lot and I like the idea of committing to rotate through them instead of just grabbing the same denim jacket in case it’s chilly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236933 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 17:30:46 +0000 Katerina 2236933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stagiaire Fash, how fun!

I wore it today, even though temps were around 10 Celsius, because it was pouring. </p> <p>Sal, is there rain gear or other non-winter outerwear you could use? Maybe beach coverups or something. Windbreakers? Sun hats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236905 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 13:47:45 +0000 Katerina 2236905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, thank you!

I was just thinking that as soon as the weather cools I should do a coat a day challenge - because at the rate I am going I will literally have a coat for every coat weather day I have. I will be joining - but not yet, weather is still quite warm. Looking forward to everyone's coats until I can wear my own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236819 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 21:15:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2236819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve heard “there’s no bad weather, only bad gear”. Temps here in Berlin don’t vary much all winter &amp; spring. Some days there are less than 5 Fahrenheit degrees (3 Celsius) difference between the high and low temps. I don’t care if we are talking 50 or below freezing; it feels colder to me when it stays the same all night &amp; day like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236815 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 20:57:41 +0000 Katerina 2236815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, oh wow, that is some crazy weather….

I am so glad you are in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236810 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 20:42:42 +0000 kkards 2236810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ll play. And it looks like the temperature is going to be all over the place next week, low of 28F/-2C to a high of 66F/19C, so a variety of outerwear will be needed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236795 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 19:55:45 +0000 Katerina 2236795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rio, great!

It will give me a chance to put some of my new outfit formulae into practice. </p> <p>It's still relatively mild here and I expect to repeat by necessity.

After feeling like I barely wore my coats and jackets last F/W, I really want to make an effort this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236754 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 17:51:57 +0000 Anonymous 2236754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need no challenge in this regard I have lots of outerwear and love wearing them all . We are also luckily in late fall mode here - with lovely 12c temps today . I’ll be pulling out my true cold weather coats and jackets later this month ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236748 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 17:42:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2236748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s getting chilly enough out that the weather plays a bigger role in deciding my outerwear.<br /> My current outerwear challenge is the two jackets I just posted—please take a look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236747 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 17:39:17 +0000 Tanya 2236747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Katerina, that is a great idea and will join you! It is cold enough in DC area on the East Coast for various coats, though not as cold as where you are.<br /> I am also trying to continue with my daily walks as cold weather makes me not want to go outside, so this should be an extra motivator. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outerwear-challenge-anyone#post-2236746 Sat, 06 Nov 2021 17:35:19 +0000 Katerina 2236746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear friends,<br /> I was thinking about Angie’s poll about puffers versus other outerwear, and how puffers are more and more taking over my outdoors outfits. And no wonder, puffers are warm, light, comfortable and pretty. But, I have a lot of other coats and jackets as well, and I would like to put them all into my daily rotation (well, suppose I go out every day, doesn’t always happen with WFH and all … lol). So, I was thinking about challenging myself to wear my different coats and jackets without repeating, as long as my wardrobe and the weather allows… I live in a relatively cold four seasons climate, often humid and sometimes with very cold winters. So outerwear is well represented in my wardrobe, from very transitional items to thick long winter coats. But I often take out one of my coats - most often a puffer, it hangs in the hall, and I wear it over and over, leaving out all the rest of the fab coats I have.<br /> The idea is, therefore, to vary outerwear every time I go outside, and try to create outfits around coats and jackets. I am not sure, if I will be able to do this every day, but a few times a week…. The value added will be increased motivation to take walks often, when I will have the “task” to dress nicely At least that’s what I hope.</p> <p>And unless you live in another climate, or going into summer right now, and unless you think the idea is silly, please, join me!<br /> If you are a wardrobe minimalist - that is fine, too! How about winter accessories and changing them up? </p>
