What To Wear Over Face/Head to Avoid Freezing While Not Looking Stupid
Was recently redeployed to Canada (fuck me, right?) from NYC and I am dying. I'm from Australia and cannot take this artic bullshit. I need something I can wear to keep my ears and face warm that won't make me look stupid while also wearing formal clothes.
Currently I wear a suit to work with a heavy overcoat and a hood but my face is numb by the time I get to the office. Is there a formal attire version of a ski mask one can wear with office clothes and not look like a dickhead? I feel a little silly rocking a beanie and fleece bandanna with a suit.
I'm thinking something like the below for the ears / forehead but am not sure what to do to cover the mouth and nose thus preventing freezing artic air from making my lungs feel like they're going to collapse within 5 minutes of being outside.
It's not even that cold, stop being such a pussy.
Mannn it's below freezing and windy as all christ right now. I'm not built for this, my perma Aussie sunburn has turned into a translucent pasty glow.
if you’re cold with this joke of a winter we had, I’m afraid you won’t last.
I am also afraid I wont last. It's 27 and windy as hell right now man, maybe it's my Aussie roots but that is FRIGID, especially for March, if you're asking me.
How’d you end up here btw? Visa issue?
Somewhat a visa issue. Bank I work for was downsizing in NYC and because I'm on a Visa and they like me they gave me an opportunity to join a different group in Canada instead of laying me off and leaving me VISA less. I've come to like a lot about the country, weather notwithstanding. Great people.
lol dude, you must be young as hell to think that punishment = "they like me and decided to give me this canadian opportunity"
I see. Make sure to make a trip over to Montreal sometime while you’re in the country (just not in the winter)
These are IT right now better hop on the hype train Mr. Kangaroo lover!
Dude, no amount of overcoat is generally warm enough for very cold temperatures. Get a proper down parka with a hood (warmth and shelter from elements.
Get a beanie that goes over your ears, whatever you just posted is 10x more weird than just a bigger hat. Make sure it's good quality and not some fashion bullshit.
The coat can partially help with your face, otherwise get a scarf (can't believe this didn't cross your mind?). Or one of those snoods but you might look like a skier.
Get a coat like this where it zips up high. I have the Atom LT and im able to bury my mouth and nose behind the zipper if i need to.
Also, wear a beanie, its fine. Or get a fur lined parka and that will keep your ears super warm. It's all about layers

You can’t survive in Canadian winter with trying to look pretty.
Stop acting like a girl and get a proper winter jacket that covers all around your head and zips up to your face.
No one cares about your suit on the road. Reach the office, hang the jacket, take off all winter wear like gloves, hat, etc.
You’ll have to amputate or die of frostbite if you try to dress pretty.
Gotta disagree, winters are pretty mild these days.
Also who are you to tell women how to dress lmfao? I’m pretty sure women don’t walk outside in -20 *C wearing skirts and tank tops, goof.
