I don't see it as frequently here but I can tell you that most women have a shawl or pashmina tucked into their bags. Stepping out of equatorial heat into freezing malls is not pleasant. Hell, I wear a jacket at my desk all day because of the bloody freezing air conditioning. I carry a light sweater with me to the movies.

Chacun son gout.
