What do I wear for a pleasure trip to Chicago in December?


Travel Info
I will be touring the city as much as possible considering the weather, of course. Sometimes with transportation, sometimes by foot. Do people keep warm with really outdoorsy looking clothes? Or will I stand out like a sore thumb if I purchased down jackets and waterproof snow boots and such? Should I use colors or keep to the basics?

Travel Tips
Our weather is REALLY unpredictable around here. So you will want to make sure that you bring items you can layer. Chicago people are all about layers! This way you can add or remove for your comfort- as the day goes on and based on where you are at.
You'll want to make sure to have something to be able to cover your ears, if it's very cold. The wind can make it kinda nippy. A great hat or some ear muffs.
I'd say base colors are your best choice. People in Chicago tend to dress outdoors for comfort more then fashion!
Hope our enjoy our lovely city~!

Others
Bring all of the above. Chicago weather is unpredictable and it would be best to be prepared for anything.
Sled dogs.
I would imagine you would need something quite warm - also remember it can be really windy in Chicago. When I visited there, we took the bus a lot of places. There are a couple of things I would see - Wicked might be playing there and the King Tut exhibit.
Pretty much, all of the above. Just remember that it is the WINDY CITY!! Buy stuff that is a good wind breaker as well as down filled and waterproof. I have seen it well below zero and also in the 50s there in December. Gander Mountain, Cabelles, Wal-Mart etc... will have good quality, warm, and dry cloths for your trip. Have fun
Wear thermal underwear on the outside of your clothes, everybody in CHI-town does that, It's trendy here, and warm.

JEEP, the term WINDY CITY comes from the politicians here having alot of hot air, but it is windy.
great city but it will be really cold
