It has come to my attention over the past 2 plus years of college that people - particularly, white males 16-25 - have no sense of weather and temperature.Let me explain.
I walked out of my apartment this morning and stupidly forgot a jacket. I was wearing a sweater, so it wasn't terrible. But I decided to skank it and not wear a cami underneath (I can't help it, I like low cut tops. When God gives you a C Cup, you say "Thank you" and enjoy them), so the wind cut through the knit and it was chilly. But as I was walking to Government and Media, I saw a guy wearing a sweatshirt and shorts (!!!). And he wasn't going to the gym, they were cargo shorts.
Gentlemen? Bros? Dudes? When the weather gets below 50, I don't think shorts are a great idea anymore, unless you're in the privacy of your own (heated) home/dorm/apartment or if you're about to get on a treadmill. Maybe your body is better insulated than mine, but I was COLD this morning, and I can only assume by the way you were rubbing your hands together, Token Bro, you were chilly as well. You know what keeps you from being chilly?
Pants.Ladies, this goes for you as well. Especially you.
Now fellow BoGirl blogger Anne will disagree with me, but I am an outspoken objector to leggings as pants. Because they're not. They're glorified tights. They're usually combined with a well-worn pair of Ugg boots and a North Face fleece. The side-ponytail is optional, but encouraged. More often than not, I see these ladies walking outside complaining to their like-dressed friends that they're freezing their asses off.
Well, naturally. You're not wearing pants. You're relying on a thin layer of spandex, a thin layer of fleece, and a thick layer of ugly on your feet to sustain your body temperature. If I can see your underwear through your bottoms, you have an issue. You know what keeps you warm?
Pants.
You can even tuck them into your Uggs, if you insist.
So kids, remember. If it's cold out? Put on a jacket. Wear a warm shirt. Put some pants on.
