Down jacket for interviews?

Would it be acceptable to wear a huge puffy down jacket when you take the campus tour, if it it REALLY cold outside? I don't have a formal-looking overcoat or anything like that, and don't want to buy a new one, plus, a down jacket is so much warmer than a coat =)

no one cares what you wear on the tour. people tend to change shoes too.

That will be fine. The admissions staff should be understanding!

Did exactly what you're talking about. It's a nice down coat. I come from Chicago, I don't mess around with the cold. Any school that holds it against me is probably not a good fit 😉

The tour is probably with random students. They have no say. Just don't wear it into your interviewer's office.

Down coats are fine for a tour. they are also ok for interviews because schools located in cold areas usually will provide a closet or coat rack to put it in
