Not only is winter a snowy fairy-tale and magical New Year time, but it’s also a frosty season from which we should hide behind shapeless down jackets as slippery roads make every lady dance.

Bright Side ladies decided to collect all the features of the winter season that make us suffer (or at least feel some discomfort).

It seems that only one day passes between the purchase of a new pair of gloves and the moment we get the first hole in them:

Underpants test us for strength in buildings:

And it’s becoming more difficult to be a pretty and seductive woman in winter:

How I look outside vs. How I feel inside
