As fall sets in, city streets reveal the divide: some strut in bare legs, while others bundle up in winter coats. If you're already on team parka, these 10 signs will hit home.
1. The heating is on again
You're dreading the utility bill, but shivering indoors isn't your style. An extra sweater can't compete with that rush of warm air.
2. Your plan to wear your in-between coat first has failed
Now you're wondering: if I'm already in my thick winter coat, what will I wear when it's truly freezing?
3. In the middle of summer you drank your first hot chocolate
The ultimate drink of the season.
4. When the sun starts to shine in the afternoon, you are happy
You keep your winter coat on. That sunlight warming your dark fabric feels perfect.
5. Getting up is becoming increasingly difficult
It's not just the darkness—emerging from under your cozy duvet into the chill is brutal.
6. You have considered buying a Snuggie
You know, a fleece blanket with sleeves. It might not be stylish, but imagine lounging on the couch, sipping tea (or grabbing chips) without leaving your blanket fort.
7. As soon as you get home, put on something warmer
A toasty cardigan over your outfit works wonders, and your favorite homesuit is always a go-to.
8. Winter sports? You shouldn't think about it
You'd rather dream of sunny escapes. A Christmas dinner under palm trees? Count you in.
9. Under your dresses (or pants) you wear thermal leggings
No one notices. Don't have thermal leggings yet? Order them here.
10. A warm shower is wonderful... Until you have to get out of it
When the cold seeps deep into your body, only a hot shower (or bath) helps—until you step out. Got an electric blanket yet?
