Colder Weather Wear

Has everyone experienced that cold weather problem of keeping warm and dressing for work?
Do you wear boots into work? Would snow boots be appropriate? Do you pack an extra set of shoes and clothing?

It does not matter where you work, this is not professional

Warmer weather seems to be easier. Winter weather brings about a bunch of considerations.
When dressing for work in the winter you should consider:
  • commute - i.e car, public transport
  • amount of time acutally spent walking around outside
  • accessibility of the entrance - are the walkways going to be paved?
  • the temperature in the office
If you're driving to and from work there won't really be a lot of trouncing around in the snow and slush. On the other hand a bus or train ride might mean more foot travel and so one should consider possibly bringing an extra pair of shoes, or leaving a pair at the office. This will help everyone avoid the wet pant bottoms that come from the lovely slush. A warm long jacket would help with the frosty wind and weather, and can help with the need for layers.


This is one way to avoid the slush!

In short anything that would allow you to maintain the dress code without walking into work messy or disheveled, while still keeping you warm and dry would work fantastically.
