What to Wear When it is 60 Degrees?

Ah, 60 degrees… that beautiful temperature where you’re not quite sweating up a storm but also not forced into a winter coat. It’s the magical in-between, and with these tips on what to wear when it’s 60 degrees out, you’ll be prepared for anything!

Layers, layers, layers

The key to dressing for any weather is layers. They allow you to adjust your clothing based on your current comfort level and ensure that no matter how fickle mother nature decides to be – you’re covered! Here are some good layering options:

  • T-shirt + cardigan
  • Tank top + light flannel shirt
  • Long sleeve t-shirt + denim jacket

Now remember: the goal here is practicality AND style. We don’t want anyone resembling Joey from ‘Friends’ in his entire wardrobe full of Hawaiian shirts.

Lightweight jackets / Blazers

By now we all know that fall signals time to crack open our favourite lightweight jackets or blazers (not that one with actual leather elbow pads) and strut confidently down “what used-to-be-called-the-summer-path”. Something like a light bomber jacket will keep the chill at bay while adding an edgy flair factor.

To avoid intermediate sweat bath

If there’s one thing worse than being cold or hot – it’s being somewhere between both states resulting in getting a mini-sweat bath everytime. To avoid this uncomfortable situation:

1) Avoid heavy fabrics unless looking like Cousin Merle’s velvet couch (old country style…well if you have different life goals I salute ya!)

2) Opt for breathable natural fibers such as cotton/linen blend shirts which lack sweat staining appearance

3) Trade heavier footwear such as Timberland boots with something lighter weight sneakers so feet can breathe well

Basically: ditch anything heavy – except for those dumbbells because, we like muscles.

Dressing up? Go muted-toned

If you’re headed to a nice dinner, wedding or any kind of fancier occasion always remember the ‘muted-tone’ rule. Soft hues such as grey, burgundy and navy blue add a polished touch without going overboard. Trust me; no one ever wowed in neon pink trousers (unless people around are exceptionally colour-blind).

Choose the right color scheme for your outfit

Now let’s get something straight – black will never not be “in fashion”. It’s timeless and goes with everything (I mean EVERYTHING) but it can also be harsh on warmer days just like squeezing an excessive tube of toothpaste (yuck.) Instead choose:

1) Pastels prints: Basically giving off cool Easter egg vibes 🐣. Nothing wrong to bring back childhood memories along stylishly

2) Burnt oranges/Brown tones: Perfect earthy escape campfire setting palettes attire…or even if you just want to act cooler than others instead of wearing fluorescent colored tops that may signal NASA emergency evacuation alert…maybe.

3) Jewel toned colours ie sapphire/ ruby & emerald greens : Pop without having too “loud” look yet elegant enough even daring enough go business meetings! Be prepared for those eyes admiring your trendy style on weekdays too though 😉

The above shades compliment other items within your wardrobe plus pretty universally flattering across all body types / skin qualities!

Accessories completion look- belts

Do not underestimate the power of accessories when it comes to completing that perfect 60 degree outfit! In this case–belts serve two purposes apart from holding us together while drinking our entire weight in margaritas at Sunday brunches;

a) Accessory show-off – Let’s face it when someone sees certain aesthetic warm leather/tan/Hermes belt often they’ll forget about our tank-top/top-over-shirt-level matching style skills and focus on being in awe of our sophistication game

b) Fix up those baggy sleeves so we don’t look like an actual scarecrow.

Trousers types to wear

Gone are the days when pants were just functional pieces invented only for men, variety now exist as much with women’s choices. Here are a few trouser options you can choose from either by keeping practicality or fashion-forwardness in mind;

a) Culottes – These cropped knee-length trousers flatter all body shapes while ensuring airflow. Being both trendy and comfortable is always a win-win situation!

b) Wide-Legged Piper Pants- Comfortable airy silhouettes that scream “summer’s still here” yet complete any fall wardrobe due to its accommodating versatility

c) Corduroy trousers – Nothing screams Autumn vibes more than corduroy…except maybe distressed denim (shows off three different versions of these). Anyway – Perfect casual pairing with chunky wool knitted sweaters <3.


Don’t let the unpredictable temperatures slow down your style game! Try out some of these tips next time it’s 60 degrees outside, just ignore frequent stares #Envy.
