Now here were I live we are getting a lot of snow lately. More than the last five years. Today I went to clear off my car of the snow but when I got dressed I put on panties and hose. This kept my legs warm while it is cold outside.

P.S. What some good things you can wear when there is snow or when it gets this cold? What gg where if they have to wear more female clothing during this time of year?

Jessie,

This is an interesting subject. Today was the first morning I cleaned snow off the car. Here are some views/comments from one of the (perceived by many) the snow/blizzard capital.

I don't venture out en femme no matter what the weather is, but I don't turn the thermostat up to the tropical range when the weather gets cold. I also will NOT give up my dresses/skirts/jumpers - pants are for my male self.

My computer room gets a little cooler than most of the house, so I choose a coordinating cardigan/sweater to keep warm if needed. Something else I will try more is multiple layers of stockings, some layers involving pantyhose even though gartered stockings are my primary choice.

The only times My wife dresses up on a regular basis is for church. She doesn't feel right wearing pants (only during an occasional summer casual dress service, or extreme winter cold). When the weather gets cold, she wears heavier tops, sweaters, more layers of warmer underwear, tights instead of pantyhose, carries indoor shoes and wears warm boots outdoors. These measures are in addition to the expected heavier coat, gloves, and ski cap.

When it gets cold out I will underdress. I will put on either leggings or stirrup pants (yes I do like them still) under my jeans. I will also wear turtlenecks under a tshirt or polo shirt. Of course I have to ask when did it get decided that a turtle neck was a female item of clothing? Over the last few years the only places I have seen them has been in the womens dept. in stores. That is why when I did see mens at Factory2u (aka famly bargin center) for 5 bucks I grabbed 4 of them. I have also on cold days worn long sleeve bodysuits under my sweatshirts and turtle necks.

I'm answering this thread with some trepidation.

Because I live in one of the capitals of wimpy winter weather, Los Angeles.
Here, dressing for winter is mostly a fashion statement. We have weather in the 60s (vs. summer weather in the 80s).

Awwwwwwwwwwww poor us!

So mostly winter weather is a chance to be fully dressed, instead of the semi-naked tropical style we wear in the summer.

We can wear hose, closed-toed shoes, sleeves, blazers, and the occasional garment of wool. This is enjoyable for crossdressers and anyone who enjoys dressing up.

I grew up in Chicago and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so I do know real winter weather.

You don't notice me moving back!

Hi all,

Well, NY may be the blizzard capital down there, but, up here, Montreal is the cold snap center of the world, it seems. We hit the frost point somewhere in early December (right now, we already have, but only at night) and don't see anything above the freezing point before mid- to late-March. The thermometer hovers around -13 F for most of January (considering the windchill factor--and you have to, in these parts; it gets very windy in wintertime--we spent a few weeks last winter at the Celsius-Fahrenheit break-even point: -40). SkiDoo suits anyone?

I underdress more often in winter, obviously. Some of the items I enjoy wearing: full-length nylon pants liner, ankle-length panty girdle, opaque tights (or, like Jadeanne, more than one pair of pantyhose, or a combination of pantyhose and stockings), nylon camisoles, and silk teddies.

One of the things I love about winter is that I can dress fully in women's clothing, in the daytime, while I'm working, without attracting undue attention. (I have to point out that what I do for a living requires that I travel from place to place, all over the city, so I'm often outside.) Typically, I dress in pantyhose, girdle, pants liner, bra, camisole, women's slacks (smooth all around), a discreet blouse, and low-heeled calf-length side-zippered leather or vinyl boots. I wear my usual drab winter coats over this (I've yet to find a woman's winter coat that could possibly be considered unisex--although I do own half a dozen full length women's winter coats.)

Winters are difficult here, but they have their good points for a crossdresser.

Love,
CJ

I like to wear tights under my work clothes. I always wear sexy lace or satin panties. I have 64 pairs of panties right now.

I don't get much of an opportunity to do this.

This morning I'm wearing an Eddie Bauer long charcoal grey cotton dress - zippers on the hem, arms, and bodice to adjust slits on this cold day. Knit tights, charcoal, from Europe, Mary Janes from Nordstrom outlet, a long poly slip, and Bali cotton bra & panties. Comfort.

Much of my wardrobe is fall/winter clothing as it covers more of the body. I need all the help covering that I can get Plus, ths skimpy summer clothes are either for the young or beautiful which doesn't work for me.

It dosen't matter. Just wear what makes you feel good.

I agree - what tends to make me feel good are clothes that reveal or don't but no plunging necklines (actually turtlenecks are best for the neck area), long sleeves when possible (any good arm hair tips??), and opaque hosery (leg hair).

I use Nad's no-heat hair removal gel to remove hair from my arms. It's a litle painful but I can handle it.
