70 degrees - light jacket weather? (2024)

FAQs

Can I wear a jacket in 70 degree weather? ›

Our biggest piece of advice is to wear breathable items that can be layered to your liking. Instead of bundling up in the mornings, wear a jacket with a plain cotton tee underneath and light joggers for example.

Winter jacket: Less than 25 degrees. Light to medium coat: 25 to 44 degrees. Fleece: 45 to 64 degrees. Short sleeves: 65 to 79 degrees.

A temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is generally considered a comfortable and moderate temperature for many people. However, whether it feels cold or hot can vary based on individual preferences, geographic location, and the context in which it's experienced.

A recent survey asked people to give the lowest temperature they thought was warm enough to wear shorts. The most common answer was between 61° – 70° with 25% of the vote.

In your 70s, it's a good rule of thumb to avoid looking too prim, too girly, or preppy. However, it's the perfect time to experiment with arty styles like tailored sweater coats, wide-leg pants, unusual clutches, and colorful patterns.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends setting your thermostat no lower than 64 degrees (F) in the Winter months while people are in the home. If there are infants or elderly individuals, they recommend keeping the temperature at 70 degrees at a minimum.

Jackets made out of cotton or blended fabrics are particularly lightweight, breathable and they do not become creased easily.

A light jacket is a must-have for mild weather that isn't decidedly hot or cold. Think: a denim jacket, a lightweight, quilted jacket or, if there's wet weather in the forecast, a sleek rain coat.

Temperatures below 10 degrees

Comfy, warm coats, that's what we want during these cold months. A wool-lined coat like a puffer jacket or a winter coat would be ideal for these conditions. So, when should you pull that winter coat out from the depths of your closet? When it's below 10 degrees.

70 degrees is still sweater weather, depending on your location, so you can't go wrong with a knitted bandeau and cardigan set. If you're not afraid to show a little skin, pair the knitted pieces with baggy low-rise jeans. Not really your style? We also recommend high-waisted jeans or a midi skirt for more coverage.

Cool to Mild: In many regions, a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) is considered cool to mild, especially during the spring and fall seasons [1].

Some people may feel colder than others without any cause. However, always feeling cold may indicate an underlying medical condition, such as hypothyroidism, anemia, or poor circulation.

Light-colored, moisture-wicking fabrics: You'll want to avoid dark-colored clothing as it absorbs more heat. Prepare to sweat (a lot!), so workout gear, such as gym shorts and tank tops, or other clothes with moisture-wicking fabric tend to keep you cooler.

While sweatpants are typically associated with colder weather, they can still be a comfortable and stylish option in 70-degree temperatures. One of the main benefits of wearing sweatpants in this weather is the level of comfort they provide.
