This winter has come to Vancouver very early and, at least for me, unexpectedly. I should still change my tires or else I’m risking to be spending twice as much time on commuting, which would be the total of 5 hours daily.

Seeing how fellow students start wearing hats and being a considerably style-conscious person, I want to give you 2 very short pieces of advice.

1. Take your hat off when indoors.
It’s not cool to wear a hat, lid, cap or anything else like that indoors, unless dictated by your religion. If you don’t believe me, ask GQ’s style guy:

“In a public building, a man may keep his hat on in the corridors and in elevators. When one enters a room, one should remove one’s hat.”

2. Put your hat on before you leave the building.
Hats don’t generate heat; they only keep your own heat contained nearby. If you go outside and then put the hat (or scarf, or gloves, or coat) on, you have already lost a part of that body heat that is so valuable. So do yourself a favour and put all clothes on before you leave.

Deal?
