Yes, but in summer too. I have often wondered how gents used to pull off a suit, vest and hat, even in the English summer.

“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

The NY Times has a photo essay on the "New Czarinas" who are occupying much of the Parisian fashion scene. Five and six inch heels, impossibly tight pencil skirts, etc. Many are daughters or girlfriends (or both) of oligarchs and party officials.
Contrast this to Rutt's Hut, an old school Jersey hot dog legend. You can't even get across the parking lot without encountering pigeons who are so bold that they try to take bites of hot dogs from people who are walking to their cars. These pigeons are so brazen that they routinely shake down rats for lunch money.
