Stockholm Style Tips Part III
To quote Colin Moon, author of Sweden: The Secret Files, it is rather ironic that Swedes use the word "oväder," which literally translated means "unweather," to describe bad weather, when there is, in fact, quite a lot of weather in Sweden.And to quote an American friend of mine who has lived in Sweden for several years, "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing."
This is true, in most cases. There is a fashionable (or at least reasonable) solution in the falling instances:
Warm + wet = Wellingtons
Cold + dry = långkalsonger
Now, can somebody please tell me the fashionable way out of the following scenario:
Cold + wet = Curiosa flat on her ass

Cold & wet = multilayered clothing in pure wool or "functional" underwear under preferably sailing gear with loads of Goretex and Fleece. Topped up with Wellingtons that can harbour a pair of raggsockor. That will keep you warm AND dry in almost any weather.
You'll end up looking like Bibendum, but who cares, as long as I'm warm & dry...
gummistövlar på is, vill du ta livet av henne??!
Det finns gummistövlar med dubbar i sulorna. Bra på is...
Eller så skaffar du helt enkelt en stor rumpa som gör att du studsar upp igen lika lätt... Vilket kan rendera blåmärken på svanskotan lika gärna, i och för sig.
I say to hell with what the Svenskan Style Mavens think. On with the Wellies!
And if you're worried about looking silly, pull the långkalsonger over your head and no one will recognize you. (Granted, they may not be as comfortable as masks, nor as ubiquitous. But at least your head will stay warm.)

Cold + Wet = Långkalsonger and broddar
girl, you need to get yourself down do Göteborg were we live by the simple philosophy: stay indoors meanwhile enjoying hot beverage. Dogs can be trained to perform simple tasks like attending seminars to take notes etc (or was that boyfriends?)
One word, broddar. Old-fashioned as heck, but very effective.
