Am I dressing overkill for a New York City december? -

I have a Calvin Klein down knee length coat that is bulky but WARM. It has a faux fur hood too. I m afraid that with going in and out of stores that I will be more hassled than helped by it. Will I look out of place with such a large coat? Is it worth the hassle of holding? I don t want to look like a complete tourist.

Right now, I don t think there is such a thing as overkill. It was 20 degrees this morning, with wind. Bitter (at least compared to the last few weeks). Remember, you can always take stuff off if you have too much, but you can t put on stuff that you don t have. Err on the side of caution. You ll thank yourself later.

I don t know who gave the first answer, but it s COLD here in NYC today!Sure, we ve had a relatively mild cold weather season thus far, but now we are heading into some really cold weather! It s not supposed to get much above 30 today, and the wind chill this morning made it seem like 8 above, according to the radio.If I were you, I d dress warm. Don t worry about looking like a tourist. Most New Yorkers will be dressed warm right now! (I dug out my big, warm scarf yesterday and I was still freezing last night!)

Its in the 40s lately. If you find that cold wear the jacket. No one will think you are a tourist. Tourists wear I?NY shirts or those bright red reflector jackets with a flag sticking out of the top of their backpack.Yes its cold TODAY. Yesterday it wasn t this freakng cold which is when I answered the question. Also its going back into the 40s starting Sunday according to weather.com.
