How does one dress for -30C (-22F) weather? Very warmly and layered is the answer. Thankfully, you can purchase all warm clothes you need in Mongolia. There are people who laugh at the face of the one, who is trying to look ‘down with the locals’ by wearing traditional Mongolian clothes as everyday wear.
If you decide to go down this route then you’ll need a ‘deel’ which is a long warm unisex coat. You can pick it up from the black market for a very reasonable price which is around $50, maybe even cheaper and they’re well made. Or you can get one made just for you by the saloons offering such service. Choose one with a discreet design so that you will be able to wear it without being laughed at when (or if) you return to your own country.
