    Is there places in the world where you’d leave your coat or shoes on when entering? Genuine question. Hats I can see being a traditional thing at least for the older generations.

      Every home and work room I have ever been to has leaving shoes on as a norm, though in one instance I took my shoes off anyways because it was someone from school with connections to Japan. The coat one is more of a matter of choice; some people would expect I leave my jean jacket at the door, others would be accustomed to me not doing so.

        Where are you from? I’m Canadian. If you wore a jacket that would mean it’s cool outside. Houses are kept warm so you’d be too warm wearing the jacket inside so you’d take it off at the door unless you were just running inside quickly. Shoes is strange to me. Never wanted to leave shoes on in someone’s house.

          Currently Vermont. It has actually been a cold late Spring/Summer due to the combined lake effect, polar vortex, and overall weather. Depending on what you’re wearing as a second/third layer, it just kind of becomes synonymous with a part of what one is wearing.
