Springtime is slowly creeping closer after a tough winter in Montreal and layers will be soon gloriously dropped, starting with scarves, then gloves, then hats, then coats, then boots and we'll be clad in our glorious summer attire and our collective epidermis will once again be gloriously displayed.However what many don't realize is that the old style - as you can see in the bottom two photos - was to show those gams all winter long. Even older mature women would walk around in their see through tights and dresses under long warm fur coats, cold weather be damned.
So while it's widely assumed that the world is a sexier place than it once was, the truth is that it probably wasn't.
