If it happens that you must venture out in below zero weather what would be your priority -looking good or keeping reasonably warm?
Of course both objectives can be achieved l suppose - with the right choices of course.
So what do you wear and what would you not wear outdoors in below zero weather.?
I remember my first winter in North America many years ago. I ignored advice and on my first trip out in icy weather, l opted to wear a sweater type dress and my coat - big mistake.

@Kandae11 Being that cold hurts. Breathing in the extreme cold is painful. I learned to cover my nose and mouth with a scarf.

It is terrible to be so cold I know what you mean
Often when I was young, I also would be fashion wise and not weather wise.
These days I am comfort and warmth.

Indeed comfort but I do remember in my younger days I have sacrificed my comfort. I wore those shoes that were so tight all because they looked good on me (lol)

Warm and comfortable would be my choice.
Try to make it as more fashionable as possible.

At my age, comfort is my priority for sure. Actually, even when I was younger, I could not wear anything which was not comfortable.

At that temp, hypothermia is a real concern..if you are out in it your only concern really is keeping warm.

I'm sure you felt wonderfully warm wearing that out in the cold.
When the temps drop below 50F/10C I get out long pants (versus jean shorts), a real shirt (versus a tank top), real shoes (versus sandals) and a jacket or coat, depending on how cool/cold it is outside..

@Kandae11 It was below zero here this morning. I think it was -1C and I know it was 29F. I have a heavy leather coat I wear when it's really cold outside.

That woman in the photo could fall and break her neck wearing those heels in slippery ice and snow. I learned quickly to wear a good hat that covered my ears and good gloves along with a stout coat and heavy pants when I lived in a colder part of my state.

Oh yeah!! You'll freeze in that outfit!! For me multiple layers at least five, boots with fur, fleece jacket, and haven't even gotten to what coat to put on yet!! I joke about this all the time!! I don't play with the cold outside!! No more trying to look cute in freezing weather. Wish I could move to Florida in the winter!!

The girl in the picture looks very beautiful. I have never ventured out at below zero. It's not that cold in my city and now I don't go out when it's too cold. I usually wear a saree with a cardigan and cover my head with a shawl when it's winter.

@Kandae11 I have visited Darjeeling in India where there's snow fall and below freezing. I visited that place but stayed in the hotel and watched the snow over Kanchenjunga mountain.

I dress up according to weather and still manage to look fashinable. I have a good dressing sense. I would not ignore suggestions of locals when visiting a place for the weather.
I bet you must be freezing

@Kandae11 It was good that you went back home. Such chill can make you sick

We don't have extreme cold here, so I don't have a big cold weather fashion collection. So the times we did go out to the snow, I wore my limited winter garb and didn't care what I looked like. Oh my goodness - you must've froze!!

Depending on the cold-dry or damp, dictates how I dress.
If it is just that cold dry air, we usually get that in January, I will dress in layers as that usually means it is way below freezing. I always wear boots, a scarf, hat and gloves in that cold.
When it is damp cold, I wear a wider scarf so that it will also cover my shoulders, to keep the back of my neck and that area warm. And the hats and gloves are always worn also.
I have a cold and a sub zero cold winter coat.
I would never ever go out in a dress or a skirt during the winter months.

I am for keeping warm, layered, and comfortable, I learned to layer when I lived in Latvia because the northern European weather during the winter can be brutal, Now in Florida I don't have to worry about that,
