Go to any school. Many students wear white athletic shoes, regardless of the day of the year.

Why do we choose dark coat colours for winter?

Folks we're back in the dangerous times for pedestrians. So, put on your LED coat and stay alive.

All I could say is light colored coats or shirts (light tan, light beige, light gray) looks the best on me and all people really. I dont know why men like wearing navy blue, black and dark grey so much. It was very hard for me to find a nice light grey winter coat in stores, I had to buy it on line. Dark grey coats look ugly, I guess when it comes to clothes people are so stereotypical,

Because we're an unimaginative culture.

Heather Mallick: Why Canadians opt for the same grim black coat every winter
Sure, the black winter coat is a uniform, but it makes a statement. That statement is ‘I give up,’ Heather Mallick writes.

With the winter weather being depressing enough, it baffles me why just about everyone underscores it by dressing in the most drab colours possible. I go the opposite - for this season I purposely sought out a vintage 80's winter jacket with crazy bright colours and designs. I'm like a walking lighthouse.

Nice. My wife buys her warmest and longest winter coats online from Lands End in bright teal and purple colours. I made the mistake of one year, when she asked if the coat impacted her figure, where I replied the coat did not look like Grimace. To which she erupted, asking why that came to mind. It's now known as the "Not like Grimace Coat".

Mine's camo. Not sure if that's drab or not.
Though, I recently picked up another that's black from my brother. So, I'm part of the problem. My outfits are generally dark. I only wear some red to do with football clubs and blue, being my favourite colour, and camo, me being a junglist souljah! (and wanker, I guess hahahaha), and grey.
I'm just trying to blend into the the background except where football is concerned where I scream my allegiance to the tribe and fully participate in that particular early hominid tribalistic ritual of pseudo-violence (and sometimes real violence!, no guns, no guns).

Indeed, since there is no satisfactory response. Ever.

“It’s not the pants....” is never a good reponse.

You guys make me feel like me choosing to be single for what seems like forever was the right choice. Cheers.

I started wearing a high visibility vest at night this winter because pedestrian crossings are so dark.

Like anything else, there are benefits and drawbacks.
