For some reason I find vests, and specifically down vests very comfortable. I know that some of you have problems with polyester though, so I'd love to hear about your comfy clothes! (I kinda wanna test out some new stuff)

Do you feel more comfortable with less or more layers? I personally always keep my thinner jacket on me cuz i don't like seeing my hairy arms...

Shaveing them is an option. I (30M) just did for my legs. Fuck societal norms, do what you feel is right for you.

Trust me, I'm on it!

More, definitely.

Even in the summer, as soon as I can get away with it, I go to a second layer. I prefer two light layers over one heavy one.

I don't like exposing my arms/wrists for whatever reason when I'm in public. At home I'm usually okay with it but sometimes prefer to wear another layer just for that reason. That's something I look out for as well, extra long sleeves
