Young women who attend school in New England have practically a mandatory daytime attire for going to classes, running errands, etc during the colder seasons. Uggs boots, a North Face fleece and a LongChamp bag is a very typical outfit for a New England gal. Although this is the norm for cold or chilly days, it really is not the smartest garb to be dressed in to be protected from the weather.
Not waterproof or sturdy, but worn everyday!
Uggs are not waterproof, and although they can be sprayed with anti-water stuff, they are really not supposed to be worn in the rain or snow. Still, New England girls swear by them and continue to wear them day-after-day despite the constant rain and snow. And although it is many people’s belief that they are not the most attractive of footwear, they are comfy – despite the fact that they run big and are somewhat difficult to walk in. Uggs often cause girls to shuffle their feet while walking to keep the floppy shoes on.
The year-round, all-weather magical fleece
North Face brand is fantastic and makes super cozy fleeces to keep people warm and toasty. The only issue with The “It” Girls wearing these North Face fleeces is that they wear them almost year-round. A thin layer of fleece is not a sufficient cover from the biting winds and blizzards, however many girls insist on keeping up appearances and wearing them to avoid the dreaded parka-look!
I can also guarantee that if you gather 10 New England young women, at least four of them will be sporting a LongChamp bag.
LongChamp foreva!
The next time you’re in New England on a cold day and hear someone shuffling their feet and shivering behind you, I can guarantee it will be the New England “It” girl.
