You’ll want a parka in Chicago. I’m there during the week, and an overcoat just won’t cut it a lot of the time.

Would advise just not moving to Chicago 🤷🏼‍♀️

Chicago has a great restaurant scene and is hands down the best city in the country between Memorial Day and Labor Day

Parka for sure. Function over form when it’s -30 degrees (which happens a LOT).

Well, at least occasionally if you count wind chill.

Need a parka for living here for sure. Pea coat over a blazer or sweater for travel to cold climate is fine. Don’t need to do that much walking. Airport, Uber, hotel, Uber, conference room, Uber, hotel, etc

Parka for day-to-day living during the winter in the Chi. An overcoat if frequently traveling.

I live here and travel to warmer climes during the week and an overcoat is ok for the few mins getting in and out of the cab at the airport. When I’m here during the rest of the week, when I step out, a down jacket is essential and layering up helps.

You need both

You need both because you care about style. A parka won’t match with everything.

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.
