Highly relevant to weather and climate but doesn't seem to be discussed much - what do you like to wear most when you're outside?
I'm very much a four-seasons guy in terms of climate preferences and pretty much the same way when it comes to clothing. Over the course of a year I'd like the opportunity to go out wearing everything from shorts/t-shirts/sandals to a winter coat with hat and gloves, with consistent periods for each season of clothing at some point in the year.
My personal favorite is probably jeans with either a long-sleeve shirt, a light jacket, or a peacoat - spring and early fall clothing, basically. I don't get to wear the peacoat that much out here (unlike when I lived in Vancouver and it was my standard outdoor wear for like half the year) but the others are pretty common during the cooler days in the warm half of the year so I'm pretty satisfied with that. I do wish there was a longer and more consistent window of shorts/t-shirt weather, we get our fair share of it but there also occasional cooler days even in mid-summer that will require the wearing of pants and long-sleeves, or where it's just borderline.
My least favorite is when I have to wear the full winter clothing for extended periods of time (like half the year LOL), or when I'm wearing it and it's still too cold (like when we get days with howling wind in mid-winter). I also don't like having to dress for super wet weather, but thankfully that's a rarity out here.
What about you? What do you like to wear? What temperatures do you wear particular clothing at? Discuss anything related to dressing for weather in this thread.

I never wear a cap or scraf unless it's freezing cold and I'm outdoor the whole day for a hike or so.
My favourite attire is just tshirt and shorts... I don't like long clothes.
High diurnal ranges are also a pain in the ass in regard to clothing although I like them from a weather interest point of view.

Shorts and a tshirt or a sweatshirt. Sweatpants are fine too, don’t like other kinds of pants.
Having to bundle up to go outside with coats/hats/gloves/raincoats, etc is annoying, I’d rather just be able to walk outside.

In summer, either t-shirt, polo or button up with shorts or jeans/chinos. In winter, as summer but with a hoody or jumper, minus shorts. Coat, scarf and gloves if required.
Spring and autumn are a mix of the above.
If I'm just lazing about at home all day then it's a t-shirt and grey joggers.

Light winter attire: light to moderate jackets, coats/raincoats, long pants, etc. Also, no matter the weather, I never wear shorts—hate those things. Absolutely useless when treading in long grass, bushland…a snake could easily bite me by the legs. However, I do not fancy extreme winter attire, you know, the astronaut-tier stuff.
Partly why cool to cold winters (by Australian standards) are very important for a climate to even be liveable IMO. But if winters are too cold, then that spells trouble for not only my attire preferences, but also my livestock; and likewise, my income.

October-April: shirts, shorts or boardies (swimmers), thongs (flipflops)
April-October: shirt, jumper, beanie, trackpants, sometimes thermals.

Shirt and shorts when it's warm; shirt, hoodie and sweatpants or cargo pants when it's cold, and I always wear a baseball cap. I rarely ever wear jeans, uncomfortable shit. Oh yes, fuck high diurnal ranges. As someone who hates getting dressed and carrying jumpers and coats around, fuck high diurnal ranges. Great for catching a cold too

Shorts and t-shirts, hence my preference for warm climates. Jeans and t-shirt below 25 C, jeans and jacket below 20 C.

Shorts and t shirt is the best, it’s been nice here since late March so I have had mostly shorts on for the last 6 weeks already, occasionally a jumper too on the windier and cloudier days. I like just being able to chuck my flip flops on and walk around outside without having to think about coat, shoes, getting mud inside etc as In late autumn and winter..

I find a hoodie and sweatpants really comfy (clothes I wear with 30-50 F temps; unless it's really windy) and probably my favorite clothes to wear. Not a fan of most jeans, I have big legs and most seem to fit too snug. T-shirt and basketball shorts when it's above 70 F or above 60 F if it's sunny and no wind. I don't mind wearing coats or big jackets either, but they're not ideal if you're doing something physical.
So yeah, I like four seasons types of clothes as well.

I only like "summer clothes", wear shorts almost all year, now have to wear Dickies long pants at work, but got to wear shorts at my last job. And when not working, I like to wear t-shirts if highs are below 30°C, and wifebeaters if highs are above 30°C
If highs are going to be below 16°C, I'll break down and wear long pants. Need a windbreaker at that point as well. And on the rare day that the high won't hit 10°C (usually when I have to go to Flagstaff), heavy jacket and winter hat.

I dress for the weather if I'm doing things outside. In summer I'm usually in a t shirt and shorts. The rest of the year it varies with the temperature, how long I'm out, and what I'm doing. So preferred clothes depend entirely on the weather. I wouldn't want to bundle up every day, but I don't mind doing it more than I currently do in this climate.
It's easier to stay at a good temperature during cooler weather. Unzipping a jacket or zipping it up does a lot. And I like having the extra pockets from a jacket. So I guess my favorite is fall or spring clothes?

There are 5 types of clothing index used in Japan, it seems like a good indicator though I prefer to set own threshold of temperatures as people who have a high cold tolerance will agree with me. 10: Below 0°C / 20: 0~6°C 30: 6~9°C / 40: 9~12°C 50: 12~15°C / 60: 15~18°C 70: 18~21°C / 80: 21~24°C 90: 24~30°C / 100: Above 30°C

I do not understand. Is the first range (10, 30, etc) for normal people and the second range (20, 40, 60) when you start wearing those clothes? Winter: Ski Jacket ski pants gloves - non ski days. Heavy Jeans with long underwear underneath, sweatshirt with hooded sweatshirt and winter jacket, hat, gloves, boots Spring / Fall: Heavy Jeans, hooded sweatshirt, hat, boots Summer: Shorts and either a T shirt (60-75F), cutoff T shirt (75-85F), no shirt (85F+) and shoes You wear all that just to drive to work in winter? Or is that what you wear when you are outside for a long time?

I wear boots to my office most days and if I have a meeting I literally leave dress shoes in my drawer at work lol
