What to Wear at 60°F: The Sweet Spot Layering Guide
60°F is pleasant for most people. A long-sleeve shirt or t-shirt with a light jacket or cardigan works perfectly. Jeans or chinos. Leather shoes or sneakers. Sweater for mornings and evenings.

WIND ADJUSTMENT

SUN ADJUSTMENT
Direct sun at 60°F feels closer to 70°F. T-shirt and light pants are enough.
MORNING ADJUSTMENT
60°F daytime high often means 45-50°F at sunrise. If you leave early, bring the sweater or jacket. Strip layers as the day warms up.
KEY TAKEAWAY
60°F is comfortable with minimal layering. T-shirt and jeans work in sun. Long-sleeve or light jacket in shade or wind.
