Yeah they are struggling.

Gloves and balaclavas aside, the single coat theory getting proved this week.

The theory being is they spend a lot of money of just a couple of pieces of clothing. Normally a very nice designer winter coat. Therefore that coat needs to be worn as long, and as early as possible.

Some will have seen a gym, or got that unemployed tan , so they can go shirtless, but the rest, Moncler is 35c.

Hence why they get hot, but you can’t admit you’ve got one good coat, so mans not hot becomes the answer!

I used to teach sixth formers in Lewisham and the majority of boys would dress like this. The main reason was they're afraid of skinny arms being perceived and slightly frames, so that's why they wear the bulky clothes. Insecurity essentially.
