13 Outfits to Wear On Those Weird, In-Between, 60-Degree Days
It's not often that we get perfect weather, but 60-degree days come pretty close. You won't spend the entire day sweating, but you won't find yourself stepping outside without a coat. That doesn't mean this in-between temperature isn't difficult to dress for. It can be tough to decide whether you should reach for a sweater dress and a pair of fishnet tights, or replace those pieces with something a tad more toasty, like trousers and a turtleneck.

To be honest, either outfit solution will work for 60-degree days, but the trick is finding a bit of balance.

An oversized blazer makes almost any outfit better, and due to the contrast, there's something especially eye-catching about styling one with a mini skirt. If you're someone who can't stand those occasional gusts of wind, add tall boots or tights to make this pairing better suited for cooler temps.

Combine a thin turtleneck with loose trousers for a fool-proof day-to-night combination. Should you be looking for something more office-ready, add a button-down or blazer over top, or work in a puffer vest for a more casual twist.

Sweatsuits have definitely become a staple in our closets, and while they're perfect for relaxing, they can still be elevated, too. A solid, neutral color helps to make this laid-back look feel sleek and intentional, while a structured jacket or leather blazer pulls it all together. As for footwear, classic sneakers are easy, more casual choice, but we're also partial to toughening things up with a pair of chunky boots.

Sweater dresses will keep you warm during transitional periods without feeling too heavy, and they can also be dressed up or down. Reach for booties or sneakers to wear during the daytime, or go with strappy sandals or mules for your next formal affair.

Crop tops aren't strictly for warm weather. In fact, long-sleeved versions styled with high-waisted jeans can keep the summer vibes going well into the chillier months. For extra warmth, bring along a cardigan or leather jacket to layer over your look.

Over the years, suits have gone from work to play, and adding a slightly baggy version to your closet will ensure you're on-trend outside the office, too. If a dark or neutral design feels a bit too bland for you, opt for jewel tones, neons, or printed pieces to brighten up those chilly days.

Nothing says fall quite like your trusty leather jacket. But, let's not forget about leather trousers or a '90s-esque leather blazer, which can amp up your basics and make even the most basic all-black ensemble a little more interesting.

Jumpsuits are the ideal lazy-girl outfit, and layered a long-sleeved option over a long-sleeved tee, light sweater, or turtleneck will provide just enough warmth for you to skip an additional jacket or coat. Plus, these one-and-done pieces take under a minute to slip on, and can seamlessly take you from the office to happy hour (or from the house to running errands).
