I'm taking a trip to london and paris in late december, what kind of clothes should i wear due to the weather?

Question

I don't really hve any idea how the weather is in london and paris in late december/early january. is it REALLY snowy there? should i wear a puffy huge jacket or is a wool peacoat sufficent to keep me warm? it would also be nice if you provided a picture of a jacket that is needed from any shopping websites like alloy, delias, nordstrom, abercrombie, forever21, etc. is this jacket, http://store.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=1386&itemID=46182&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter= , good enough to keep me warm in london and paris or is it not thick enough? or should it be more big and warm like this: http://store.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=1384&itemID=46313&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter=

what kind of shoes should i wear also. all i've got are my converses.

Answer 1

t shirt an shorts would do weather in uk quite mild.

Answer 2

You can buy either one. I live in Canada, so I am use to the cold weather. When I was in Europe, London, etc., I find it very mild except at night. It is damp and rains a lot, I did not see any snow while I was there in November, December, and January. If you are from somewhere warm in the US, you might want the thick long coat like in picture no. 2, but I was find wearing something like in picture no. 1

I wore ordinary hiking boots which were OK, but you really need something waterproof and durable for the uneven sidewalks.

Answer 3

A Burka isn't necessary in Londonistan, but a head scarf is required to prevent rape.

Be sure no skin shows.

Answer 4

Heavy clothes and rain proof covers for both countries.
Gloves and good boots too.

Answer 5

get the big heavy coat, and have heavy sweaters for when you don't need the coat. UK rains a lot. have umbrella and water proof boots.
