Now that the first pretty snowfall is long gone, the dreary, nippy winter weather has officially lost its novelty. Day after day, most of us don identical, androgynous puffy jackets or pea coats as we venture out into the frigid gray abyss. But winter clothes don't have to be boring -- some people are battling the winter blues with these 13 seriously bizarre fashion choices:
Thank Japan for this fleece body suit that completely conceals your identity, keeps you warm and, in a pinch, converts into a sleeping bag. Total comfort, and total anonymity.
Sure, some people will be creeped out if you wear this on public transit, but when you're living life on fashion's cutting edge, you can't expect everybody to understand.
OK, so you can't exactly buy these at your local North Face store, but we couldn't resist including this seriously bizarre slice of winter-wear history: the plastic face-cone. Introduced in Canada in 1939, these crazy masks promised to keep your makeup looking shiny and fresh during the worst of winter snowstorms. Unsurprisingly, they never really caught on.
See, exciting winter fashion options abound! Why get lost in a sea of black fleeces and gray beanies when you could stand out in delightfully wacky winter apparel?
