Things Aussies Do Every Winter
Aussies are a funny bunch when it comes to winter. We think we're tough but watch what happens when the temperature drops below 20deg! When winter arrives in Australia, as per usual, we're all surprised. We all feel completely unprepared for winter and then struggle to accept the change in season when it does hit. So what do Aussies do to get through it? Lowes is here to help with a great range of winter essentials.
We Ask One Question Repeatedly
As soon as the temperature drops everyone starts asking the same question - How bloody cold is it? Everyone becomes a human thermometer! Well it's cold enough that you need to be toasty warm with everyone's favourite, fleece! Like the Lowes Polar Fleece Quarter Zip Top only $25!
We Complain It's Too Cold
Every Australian's favourite winter activity, walking around in shorts and no shoes complaining that it's too cold. If you're committed to your calves getting some sunlight at 8deg; at least keep your top half warm with a Lowes Fleece Lined Shacket only $39.95!
We Wear Socks With Our Thongs
If you're a tourist take a photo, there is no other country in the world you will see this happen in the middle of winter. We start wearing socks with our thongs. Keep those toes warm with the Outer Peak 2 Pack Thermal Sock for only $19.95!
We Buy A Tiny Electric Fan Heater
If there's one item you can't get through winter without it's the electric fan heater. You know the tiny one that you buy for $30 that costs $9 an hour to run on electricity! The other essential item you can't live without in winter is a flannelette shirt, except it is much better value, like the Lowes Check Flannelette Shirt only $19.95!
We Love Soup ... Then Hate It
Every June local cafes treat us to the smell of fresh soup coming from a countertop soup pot. And If we're not indulging ourselves at the cafe, we're living off Continental cup-a-soups at home or the office. But by mid-July soup has become a less cheerful winter warmer and more a reminder that we're only halfway through winter. Cheer up again with an Elliots Zip Through Knit Cardigan for only $49.95!
We Freeze At The Footy
Our favourite winter sport, footy. And continuing the proud Australian tradition of being totally useless at dealing with cold weather you'll see fans in their team's footy shorts and jerseys, which are designed to keep you cool, not warm. Not ideal at a night game in Canberra in the middle of July. The hot meat pies are actually frozen meat pies by the time you get back to your seat in the grandstand. They wish they were wearing a Lowes Polar Fleece Shirt for only $19.95!
We Rug Up Indoors
You know it's winter in Australia when the house is so cold you go outside to warm up. We rug up outdoors, but we rug up even more indoors. So roll up in a blanket, grab some chips and spend countless hours binge watching Netflix in a pair of Lowes Fleece Skinny Trackpants only $29.95!
We Call Our Friends In England
Nothing cheers an Aussie up more in the middle of winter than calling their friends in England to complain how cold it is, knowing full well that it's still warmer here than it is in England in the middle of summer! When you video call to rub it in make sure you're wearing a colourful Prodigy Tie Dye Hoodie for only $39.95!
Whatever things you do during winter, we'll keep you comfortable, warm and stylish with a great range of winter essentials available now in-store and online...At Lowes!
