“What’s your perfect date?” “I’d have to say April 25. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” Okay, I’m probably showing my age in the fact I’m able to recite the Miss Congeniality script from memory, but this quote has always stuck with me and got me to thinking, what do you wear when it’s not too hot, not too cold (light jackets being the exception)?
This feels like an important question to ask this week, as my weather app tells me it’s going to be one of those weeks when the weather is that in-between stage, a little bit of sun, a little bit of cloud. How appropriate for the last days of summer. Granted, the app isn’t always the most reliable, but it can be a difficult climate to dress for, which is why it’s important to work out what to wear. Do you take a jacket with you? Can you brave wearing sandals? But then again, when the weather is slightly cooler, is it time to revert to boots and knitwear? Throw in the omnipresent threat of rain, and you’ve got yourself a game of sweat or water.
As you can see, this gives us plenty of style questions to answer, which is why we decided to go hunt down some of the best not-cold-but-not-hot outfit ideas. As a result, we’ve found six perfect looks that will carry you through those strange between-season days when you’re not quite sure what’s going to happen with the weather.
