Feels more casual/informal to me than a white shirt.
fair enough. i guess its a personal preference thing at that point.
Absolutely. I would have wore a white shirt if we were going to a nice restaurant, for instance.
more of a color combo thing for me i suppose. as farmer john would say, horses for courses.
Love the jacket!
What brand hotel are you staying in?
Hotel Indigo
I figured it was a weird offshoot brand with those wall decorations
I have notes.
so do the ladies in cocktail attire, thus the lack of pictures.

, it is so nice and warm here that l forgot about your cold winters. Just incredible.
I assume that is hours in the cold? What would you wear, approximately, for a 15m walk outside? Because I had the impression that people there dress like this even for walking to the parking lot. Was a hugely disappointing experience.
yes, that is for beaucoup time outside. It is -32 with a -41 windchill as I write this. I went outside to feed the cats in my sleepwear with a fleece jacket and Birkenstocks.
finally, a brand i've actually heard of!
This is precisely how I imagined „winter Canadians“ until a few weeks ago. Relieved they do exist!I went outside to feed the cats in my sleepwear with a fleece jacket and Birkenstocks.
I went to Manitoba as well and they did seem more normally dressed. Though many seemed to worry I wasn’t warm enough. I was wearing my regular –3to+7c winter clothes, with basically just one extra cashmere layer. At night with a bit less than –20 and some wind my nose and thighs were really cold after ~20min of brisk walking, but not too bad (yet). Should get merino long johns and something for my face for the next time. Record low was supposed to be –33 around 9am. I was strolling outside that morning around 11 for at least 25min, 100% sunny and no wind, which was not uncomfortable at all and somehow actually nice. It was an interesting experience over all. At lady I met into ultramarathons claimed for practice she would easily go running at –50. She did seem quite tough.
I grew up in Winterpeg. Is that where you were? Where did you stay? We'd be outside all day in -40 as kids. When I was in high school I'd wear a hoody with a leather letterman jacket over it, jeans, no long underwear and leather high tops. But that was when I was 10 feet tall and bulletproof.

-40+ absolute temp without wind is not bad at all. I am always colder in -40+ windchill.
This morning was -38 with a -42 windchill, so hardly any wind. I wore my merino base layers, wool toque, jeans, a light down sweater and a windproof breathable shell. Shearling lined ankle boots. Perfectly comfortable walking all over downtown.
You would benefit from base layers. 200 gsm top and bottoms will do the trick and they are thin to fit under even slim fit clothing as long as you are not wearing ball huggers. Pick up a merino or synthetic snood. You can wear it as a neck gaiter to insulate your face and it converts to full head covering if required.
Very helpful, thanks. Yes Winnipeg, stayed at the Inn at the Forks, that is also where I took the morning walk, at the riverside. Was at Fort Garry hotel before, like it better I think, but only spent a night and didn‘t even see the bar, no breakfest etcI grew up in Winterpeg. Is that where you were? Where did you stay?

can't buy a ranch there.
The Fort Garry is a nice old former historic Canadian Pacific Railway hotel.
I’m dying to see your Brazil in the summer outfit.
maybe its the glasses or the comb over but something about this whole setup just screams inappropriate relationship with student.
