Freezing to death due to clothing choice is not strictly hipster territory. It has been the habit of scantily-clad ladies for years and years.
Nothing like going out in my snowsuit and wool Jawbreaker ensemble on a January night and seeing some little gadabout in her sleeveless, backless dress, with bare legs and stilletos. YOY!

not the case: one NYE, having drunk our cab fare, I trudged from the Garage to west 1st Avenue in 4 inch heels-I know, flats, by today's standards-a silk camisole, and a skirt that covered the essentials. my companion claims the whining was incessant, but I am certain the few minutes I lay on a bus bench hoping to die were quiet. I didn't have the abundance of nature's insulation I do now.

What really impresses me about the hipsters is their seemingly total independence from climate variability.
95 degrees in the summer, slaving over a hot espresso machine, and what are they wearing? A flannel and a wool skull cap.
0 degees in the winter while smoking outside of bodega, what are they wearing.... the same damn thing
It's like they've uncovered some sort of wardrobe magic.
If climate change renders the world uninhabitable with an atmosphere similar to Venus, and the rest of us have to wear huge climate-controlled space suites to prevent instant heat stroke, I bet there will still be the hipsters, strutting down Gay st., wool cap and flannel, smirking subtly and thinking to themselves "now whose the freak?"
