I don't know about the rest of you skirt-wearing types, but I've always considered them an all-weather, all-seasons garment! I know we can turn the "cold weather" filter off, but I wish we didn't have to...

In my opinion, no. Then again, my opinion could come from the fact I live in cold climate or I'm sensitive to cold in winter. When I put together a cold weather outfit, I always get an idea it should protect from freezing cold weather with lots of snow and cold winds. While yes, leggings are an option, I feel like they are too thin to protect from cold. And being fashionable in winter isn't worth freezing to death over in my opinion...
I think the present setting is more reasonable since there is a big difference between the winter of Sulani and Mt.Komeberi.
In real life I wear long skirts or dresses all year around with stuff underneath. But in sims I do think skirts are better tagged hot weather because of how sims generate so randomly. They will not think to put leggings on.
Like with all the cc I have the creators tend to tag everything horribly, (which could have to do with the country weather they live in)
so I've seen sims in the dead of winter with skirts (no leggins) and bathing suits and I always have to stop and take them into CAS because it hurts my eyes to see that 😆
But yes skirts are all year around for me too!
Same here.
Cold category can be tricky because climate is a thing in the game, so you can have Sims from Sulani dressed for winter but it probably looks more like rain gear or just long sleeves, while a Sim from Windenburg will probably be more bundled for snowfall.
So my Sims tend to look wonky anyway, with my Mermaids walking around in blizzards with only one layer and a long, split skirt if they visit a colder climate, lol.
But I do generally consider long skirts part of winter wear, as well as the knit and some patterned leggings that can be worn with shorter skirts.
It's a shame that there's not an "outerwear" category so sims wear coats, hats and shoes outdoors but don't do so indoors, particularly inside their own home. I know some people wear hats indoors so maybe there could be a toggle for that option.
I always give my sims at least one indoor cold weather outfit and one outdoor cold weather outfit, and make sure they wear the right attire depending on whether they are indoors or outside. I rarely bother with raincoats because who wants to wear a raincoat indoors? If there was an outerwear category it would be easier to dress sims appropriately.
