Since several days ago, the temperature has dropped in the Croatian capital. Now it hovers just above freezing. But it is amazing to see how the denizens of this city have adjusted to the change in weather. And women are leading the pack. Now they are dressed for the harshest of winters. Nay, polar frosts. There are coats, hats, scarves, and boots on display. On my way to one of my favorite cafés in the center, I could not believe my eyes. Looking at these silly people, one would guess that it was freezing cold. But I am in my T-shirt and fleece still. True, the fleece is zipped up to the neck, but that is about all I have done to adjust to the change in the weather. I will go for a light waterproof jacket only when it starts snowing. There is a tuque in one of its pockets, too. But the jacket was designed for boat sailing rather than skiing or snowboarding. The way winters have gotten in Croatia, nothing else is actually needed. Fashion is fashion, though. It is high time for winter collections once again. And women are doing their best to dress for the season that is but a joke nowadays.
