What to Wear in 60°F (16°C) Weather: Observed on 16,000 People in London

Our guide: what to wear at 60°F (16°C)

This is our guide, not a measurement.

At 60°F (16°C), wear a long-sleeved top or a light sweater and keep a light jacket to hand for shade, wind and the evening. Jeans or light trousers suit the whole day; on a sunny, still afternoon short sleeves can be enough. If rain is forecast, a thin waterproof shell does the job of both the jacket and the umbrella. On the Tube and in shops it feels warmer than outside, so a layer you can carry is easier than a heavy one.
