Clear answers for getting dressed — from temperature-based outfits to layering strategies.
1 What should I wear in 60 degree weather?
Light layers. A long-sleeve shirt or light sweater, with a light jacket you can remove. Jeans or pants are comfortable. 60°F feels different to everyone — bring an extra layer if you run cold.
Perfect t-shirt weather. Short sleeves, light blouses, casual dresses all work great. Jeans or lighter pants are comfortable. Bring a cardigan for overly air-conditioned spaces.
Definite jacket weather. Layer a t-shirt under a sweater or hoodie, plus a medium jacket. Long pants are a must. A scarf adds warmth without bulk. Closed-toe shoes recommended.
Keep it light and breathable. Shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, sundresses. Light colors reflect heat. Choose cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics. Sandals or breathable sneakers work well.
Bundle up. A warm coat over layers — thermal undershirt, sweater, jacket. Warm pants (not thin dress pants). Hat and gloves if you'll be outside for a while. Proper winter socks make a difference.
Above 65-70°F, shorts are comfortable for most people. Consider: Will you be in AC? (might get cold). How long outside? Activity level? When in doubt, pants with the option to roll them up.
Water-resistant outer layer is key — rain jacket or waterproof coat. Skip suede and canvas shoes. Darker colors hide splash marks. Bring an umbrella, and consider waterproof bags for electronics.
Dress one level above the job. Corporate: suit and tie/blouse. Business casual: dress pants, button-down, no tie. Startup: nice jeans, clean sneakers OK. When unsure, overdress — it shows you care.
Polished but not formal. For men: dress pants or chinos, collared shirt (no tie), leather shoes. For women: blouse with dress pants/skirt, or a professional dress. No jeans, sneakers, or t-shirts unless the workplace is very relaxed.
