People who wrap up warm even in a heatwave

[Summerevenimgchill]

Whenever there’s a heatwave I always notice a few people dressed really warm. We were at an outdoor event on Saturday, it was very hot where we are and everyone was in shorts/t-shirts/dresses. There was a guy in jeans and a big hoodie. I don’t know how he coped.

I’ve even seen people in woolly hats and puffer coats.

Do some people just not get hot?

There was a 20 something running parkrun in tracksuit bottoms and a zip up hoodie yesterday. He wasn't even that slow.

My DF has cancer and sits in jumpers and a blanket.

This.

try not to judge

My dad is a bit like this. He just seems oblivious to it. I’ve asked him why but he hasn’t even thought about it.

I should add he’s always been like that and it’s not a health issue as far as I know.

I have noticed this over the last few weeks mainly in and around the supermarket People wearing thick heavy coats scarves and woolly hats

My autistic DD can’t dress for the temperature; only for comfort.

my friend does. she is from California and lived in Florida too, she doesn't think is that warm lol.

Well I’m not in puffa jackets or woolly hats but I’m currently lying under my electric blanket and it’s apparently 26 degrees in my front room.
i just don’t really get hot, mostly feel chilly. I’m not feeling chilly right now, but I do like the security of having a layer over me. Literally a security blanket!
I’m constantly cold in the office much to everyone else’s absolute shock! I’ve had to buy a blanket just to keep there, my hands are the worst bit in the office.
Even as a kid my mum says on hot days when we were having big family picnics I was rolling about wrapped up in a blanket.

I've noticed this with teenagers, either no clothes, or puffa coats. I understand everybody is different, but it must be so sweaty!

I’m so sorry to hear that.

i do hope that your dh gets well.

My thread isn’t intended to be mean so i hope I haven’t offended you.

My nan used to think if it keeps out the cold, it keeps out the heat!

I think some of us have a preferred way to dress and some are more stubborn than others.

If someone is unwell then it makes sense.

But I have also seen teenagers in hoodies/puffer coats in very hot weather. I am afraid to say they looked they were going for a street gang aesthetic, which is I think incompatible with shorts and T-shirts. But it looks very hot!

This is my understanding of why someone I know does this. They’ll roll sleeves up on their jumper sometimes but are otherwise covered as usual.

My husband does this. Sadly he has really poor body image and won’t wear t-shirts and shorts in public. Even on holiday abroad in the summer he’ll wear long trousers and a jumper.

My dh goes for a run every Sunday morning. It was 31c where we are this morning.
He still went for a run.

That’s made me quite sad.

Although I do get it. My dad is really funny and I don’t think he’d wear shorts out. Dh will only wear dark colours but he does wear shorts/t-shirts.

Ironically for my dad it’s bring too skinny for dh he thinks he’s too fat.

People shouldn’t be hot/uncomfortable because of body imagine.

To be fair, it’s freezing in supermarkets.

I was thinking this earlier when I walked by our local takeaway. There were about ten Deliveroo drivers all fully dressed up with biking gear and those heavy Deliveroo jackets - it couldn't be comfortable.

I'm one of these people, I rarely get hot or sweaty

Must admit I have not seen this personally.

They may have immigrated from hotter countries and don’t find it all that hot

Same as Northerners who move to London and are always in shorts …

I'm always cold. It's only this week that I've stopped wearing a cardigan or dressing gown and have stopped putting a throw on my legs.

I'm quite healthy, just a cold body.

🥶

It’s been up to 30 degrees here this week.

Do you wear a coat? Or just long sleeves.
