What to Wear for 80 Degree Weather?

How's the weather like lately? For most of the Northern Hemisphere, spring has arrived! Although you may not feel it particularly clearly yet, and although the temperature may still fluctuate, the overall trend is definitely getting warmer.

For some areas with relatively low latitudes, such as south of the Tropic of Cancer, the temperature has now reached 80 degrees. Although the temperature in areas with higher latitudes is not that high yet, it will reach soon. At this temperature, you can often see a strange spectacle: people wearing down jackets and people wear short-sleeved shirts coexist on the street. This is a real problem: what to wear for 80 degree weather?

Other Climate Features That Come with 80 Degree Weather

Many people would check the weather forecast before going out and dress accordingly. But is it enough to just look at the temperature? Obviously not. Sometimes you find that you sweat a lot even when the temperature is not high, and the thick coat you wear makes you sweat even more. Obviously, this is because you didn't pay attention to the humidity. So, in addition to temperature and humidity, what else do we need to pay attention to? What climate characteristics usually come with 80-degree weather?

First of all, the temperature changes are very drastic. Maybe you have already noticed that the temperature these days is very unstable. The highest temperature may reach 85 degrees one day, and the highest temperature the next day is less than 70 degrees. This is really normal! In China, this phenomenon is called “return of cold spell in spring”. So don’t put away all your thick clothes just because it’s been a warm day, or even a warm week. No! The weather will play tricks on you! You’ll need to pull out your thick clothes again by next week at the latest.

The second is the large temperature gap. Since there is less rain in spring, the atmospheric back radiation is weak, and the temperature is very low in the morning and evening. At noon, due to the direct sunlight, the temperature will rise very high. At this time of year, it is not uncommon for the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day to differ by as much as twenty degrees. But for office ladies who go out early and come back late and can't go home at noon, this temperature gap can easily cause illness. So layered dressing is the most suitable way to dress in 80 degree weather.

Although there is not much precipitation in spring, the humidity will gradually rise on 80 degree weather. At this temperature, warm and humid air currents begin to become active and converge with cold air. The water vapor content in the air gradually increases, and the air humidity also rises accordingly.

Finally, 80 degree weather is more likely to be accompanied by strong winds than sunny days. Spring is a period of atmospheric circulation adjustment, with frequent high and low pressure activities, resulting in strong winds. For areas with less precipitation and sparse vegetation, strong winds often trigger sandstorms.

Fashion Items Worth Having in This Weather

Why do some people wear thick coats while others wear short sleeves on the same day, at the same place, and in the same weather? That's because different people have different perceptions of temperature, which means that some people are more afraid of cold, while others are more afraid of heat. So, we’re going to discuss the fashion items worth owning in 80-degree weather in two parts: one for ladies who are more tolerant of cold but afraid of heat, and the other for ladies who are afraid of cold.

For ladies who are more afraid of heat:

These ladies might already have put their thick clothes into their closets! For them, the suitable fashion items include:

⚫Maxi dresses. If the temperature can reach 80 degrees, it is indeed enough for women who are afraid of heat to wear a dress. However, it is better to wear a maxi dress! It is far from the temperature to wear a mini dress with bare legs. In addition, the fabric of the dress also needs to be taken into consideration. Chiffon and silk dresses are too early for this temperature. Wool dresses are probably not much different from thick coats for women who are afraid of heat. So in 80 degree weather, the more suitable fabrics are denim, PU leather and knitwear with moderate thickness.

⚫A cardigan. Only a dress is enough for the mid noon, but not enough for the chilly morning and evening. So no matter how afraid you are of the heat, it is better to take a cardigan with you to keep you warm when the temperature fluctuates.

⚫A cotton shirt. Cotton shirts have excellent breathability and moisture absorption, allowing air to circulate between the clothes and the skin, helping to dissipate heat and making them cool and comfortable to wear. This is definitely a good choice for women who are afraid of heat, because these women are probably most afraid of sweating a lot and getting their tops soaked and unable to dry. A cotton shirt can completely eliminate their worries in this regard.

For ladies who are more afraid of heat:

These ladies probably still don't dare to wash their thick winter clothes and put them in the closet, even if the temperature exceeds 80 degrees one day. For them, the most important function of clothing is warmth retention. For these ladies, the fashion items worth having include:

⚫A hoodie. A hoodie will definitely become one of the favorite fashion items for cold-sensitive ladies in 80 degree weather. Because even for cold-sensitive ladies, it is unimaginable to wear sweaters and down jackets in this temperature, and it is even more unimaginable to wear short sleeves. A hoodie is moderate in both thickness and style.

⚫A scarf. A scarf can effectively prevent your neck from getting cold, and it can be unfolded and worn as a shawl in an air-conditioned room. At the same time, you can also try to use scarves to create many different styles.

⚫A cropped trench coat. For 80 degree weather, a long trench coat may seem like an overkill, but for ladies who are more afraid of the cold, a short trench coat is still very necessary. Moreover, a classic short trench coat is also very versatile, whether it is worn with a shirt or a dress, it can create a very beautiful visual effect.
