REVISED October 2022
Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons of the year, however the unpredictable weather can often leave you wondering what to wear.
Whether you are in New York, Florida, Vegas, or California, you may be struggling with what to wear in 60 degree weather.
From casual wear to outdoor activities such as hiking or running, it can be difficult to know what to wear in 60 degree weather.
One day it’s 30 degrees, the next it’s 80, and the day after that its 60 degrees. 60 degrees falls right in between and seems to be a temperature that is often on the spring and fall weather forecast.
For many of us, though, it’s hard to remember what 60 degrees feels like.
It’s not too cold and it’s not too hot - you don’t need to bundle up in a parka but you can’t strip down to tank tops and shorts either.
You may be wondering, Is 60 degrees is warm or cold?
In many places, 60 degrees is mid-temperature. In the US, temperatures can range from below zero to over 100, so 60 degrees hits right in the middle.
In this post, you’ll find out what is good to wear, get lots of outfit ideas to wear in this temperature as well as tips for how to dress in this weather.

Here are the best tips to outfit yourself for 60 degrees as well as commonly asked questions.
What materials should I wear in 60 degrees?
Wear light to medium weight fabrics such as cotton, rayon, silk, or merino wool.
Do I need a jacket for 60 degrees?
Start with a foundation layer such as a tank or tee. Add a light weight sweater, denim jacket, blazer, sweatshirt, wind breaker, or trench coat.
For bottoms go with leggings, long pants, or capris. If you want to wear a short skirt, pair it with tights.
Is 60 degrees hot enough for shorts?
While 60 degrees is not ideal shorts weather, many people (myself included) still like to wear shorts at this temperature.
Here are a few tips for wearing shorts.
Opt for longer length shorts to cover more of your legs.
Add layers on top such as a t-shirt with a sweater or sweatshirt.
Choose sneakers or closed-toe shoes instead of sandals.
What shoes are good for 60 degrees?
60 degrees is still a bit too cold for flip flops and too warm for heavy boots such as Uggs.
Opt for loafers, oxfords, mules, Chelsea boots, closed heels, ballet flats, or sneakers.
Is 60s too cold for a dress?
Dresses are an excellent option for 60 degree weather. Choose dresses that have 3/4 length or long sleeves.
You may want to layer the dress with a cardigan, blazer, shawl, or jean jacket. In addition, hosiery or tights will help keep your legs warm at this temperature.
#3. Errand Day
Let’s face it, some days you just want to be comfortable especially when you have a lot of errands to run. This outfit will take you from coffee with a friend, to grocery store, dry cleaning, and a stop at the bank.
Layered over a tee, this hooded denim jacket is part denim/part sweatshirt. It has a denim body, sweatshirt sleeves and hood. Top it over black leggings and Vans Classic Checkerboard Slip-Ons.
#4. Bring on the Color
Did you know the colors you wear can affect your mood? It’s true! Find out what mood you’re producing when you wear your favorite color.
Don’t go for just neutrals. When the weather hits 60 degrees, add some color to your outfit.
#5. Lasso in Some Style with Cowboy Boots
60 degrees is just a bit too warm for Ugg Boots, but Cowboy boots are just right for this temperature and add a chic modern look to almost every outfit.
The combination of cowboy boots paired with a ruffle dress and denim jacket is on trend for the season!
#6. Sailor Stripes
Wear a striped light weight sweater or tee over Free People cropped black jeans. Finish the look with a pair of Chelsea boots.
