as a research academic (I.e. very few student facing days), my “middle aged professional” cold weather gear is a pair of blunnies (over thick socks), jeans, shirt and v-neck jumper under a long wool coat with a scarf/cowl.
basically, switch the blunnies for other shoes, drop the coat and scarf and it’s all remarkably similar to my all-weather, middle aged professional look.
more effort made on occasion when visiting 50 Lonsdale.
I used to have the wool jacket, but these days its either a Northface or a Jack Wills puffer i got from the UK. I prefer the wool look, its much more classy, but I find the puffer much warmer.

I’m just a sucker for a winter coat! puffy jackets are way more practical, though
Not too much effort I hope. Don’t be showing up us regulars there :)
