What to wear by temperature
What to wear in 60 degree weather
60°F is about 16°C
60°F is mild. In the sun it can feel warm; under cloud or in the evening it feels cool. My call is a long sleeve, or a t-shirt with a light layer you will take off by lunch, plus jeans and sneakers. Mornings and evenings at 60°F are where a hoodie or light jacket pays off.
Get roasted by your own forecastFree, no account, and you pick how rude I get.
The 60°F kit, as I see it
- T-shirt or long sleeve
- Light layer: hoodie, cardigan or light jacket
- Jeans or chinos
- Sneakers

60°F is perfect for about forty minutes, then a cloud shows up and ruins everything.
Sixty degrees: hoodie at 8am, regret by noon.
60 degrees is the weather saying “I could be nice” and then not committing.

What to wear running in 60 degree weather?
