    I know it’s a joke but if anyone out there ever feels like they’re always too hot or too cold (and it’s not a medical thing,) check the tags on your clothes. Seriously, the kind of fibre you wear makes a huge difference in how you feel. I live where it gets below 30°C in the winter, where people ask me how the hell I’m not freezing. Well, I have a cotton tee, a merino wool stanfield, thick wool socks, wool fleece hoodie and a wool hat.

    Edit: I’m not a lava golem, just a dumbass. NEGATIVE 30°C

    Morning starts with wool sweater & gloves & long pants & wool socks & boots. Noon-3pm I’m wearing a bikini on the beach & getting a sunburn. After the sun sets, we’re cold again, put my morning gear back on, plus ear muffs.

      One would think that a place with a beach has a body of water that retains heat into the night. Seaside or lakeside places usually tend to have a milder climate.

      That’s why I usually don’t commute by bike in autumn. Freeze in the morning with too many clothes. Areive all sweaty because too many clothes keep warmth too well. After all that the sun comes out and suddenly it’s 20°C outside and I have nowhere to put all the clothes I wore in the morning while I go back home.

    I work at a bakery and wear shorts at work year round. Customers are always surprised that I’m wearing shorts, often exclaiming in the same breath how nice and warm the bakery is.

    I always have at least three if not four layers of clothing - easier to take off a layer than shiver.

    The UK has been abnormally hot for the last few days. Feels like you need a jacket, but before long you’re sweating.

    Pyjama pants stay on under the jeans when I get out of bed, then multiple layers: shirt, hoodie, sweater/jacket. Add/remove layers as-needed.

    Unless I’m staying home for the day, then it’s just pj pants and a hoodie all day.

      I use longjohns under the pants since I feel like pyjama pants are too loose, but I guess pyjama pants have the advntage of being fairly normal to wear as pants outside whereas longjohns are a bit weird

        Wrap the pj pant leg tightly around your ankle, put socks over top, then pull on the next layer of pants.

        Keeps the pj’s in-place so they don’t ride up your legs or stick out from under your regular pant legs, plus it stops the breeze blowing up your pant legs makin’ your ankles/shins chilly.
