I'm going tokyo this dec. Is 2-10 degree celcius very cold?
I know I need a down jacket which I will get from uniqlo but not sure if I need other warm clothes.
From SG:
Wear polo tee + jeans there. Down jacket pack in handcarry. Reach japan then put on down jacket if too cold.
In japan:
T-shirt + uniqlo fleece long sleeve shirt + down jacket (Is this over kill?)
or
t-shirt/long sleeve shirt + down jacket (just what I wear in sg + down jacket).
Is jeans enough to tank the cold or need inner layer for bottoms too?
I know being able to tank the cold differs from people to people but what did you wear for december weather?
I'm heading to Tokyo in December too. Here's what I'm planning to wear: t-shirt and fleece zipped jacket from uniqlo. I'll have a light down parka (not the ultra down version) from uniqlo in my bag just in case, though I doubt I'll need it unless it's windy.
For bottoms, I'm going with jeans only. Normal jeans, not heattech. I'm pretty sure that'll be fine. I was fine just wearing jeans when it's -10. As long as there's no strong winds, it'll be fine.
Winter clothing for me is always layering. A base t-shirt, and everything else on top of it will be zipped versions - for easy layering and removal. If I find what I'm bringing is not enough, I'll just pop into one of their many uniqlo stores to grab another layer.
There's no need to fret about the clothes, really. Your preparation seems good enough. If you find that you still can't tank the cold when you reach, then just go to their department stores or uniqlo to buy more after you check in to your hotel.
