What to wear in 5 degree weather

What to wear by temperature

0°C and below: A down coat or parka, a heavy knit, lined boots, a hat, gloves and a scarf. Winter outfits
5°C: A wool coat or light puffer over a jumper, full-length trousers and closed boots.
10°C: One light layer, like a trench or a leather or denim jacket, over a tee or a light knit, with closed shoes. 10 degree weather outfits
15°C: A long-sleeve top or a light knit, and a jacket for the evening. Autumn outfits

Wind or rain make any of these feel a rung colder: dress for the one below.

Is 5 degree weather coat weather?

Yes. At 5°C a jumper and a light jacket won't keep you warm for long outdoors, especially in wind or rain. You want a real coat: a wool coat, a lined parka or a light puffer, with a knit underneath. You don't need your heaviest winter gear yet, though: save the long down coat and the snow boots for when it drops below freezing.

What layers work best at 5°C?

Three thin layers beat one thick one: a tee or long-sleeve top, a jumper or flannel, and a coat. Indoors you take the coat off and still look dressed; outdoors the air between the layers keeps you warm. A scarf adds more warmth for its size than anything else, and a beanie earns its place on windy days.

Does wind or rain change what I should wear?

A lot. A windy 5°C day feels close to freezing, so choose a coat that blocks wind (a puffer or a dense wool) and close the collar with a scarf. On a wet day, a water-resistant parka or a trench over a knit is better than wool, which soaks up rain. Rain also decides the shoes: leather boots instead of suede or canvas.

What should women wear in 5 degree weather?

A wool coat or a puffer over a jumper, with straight jeans, wide trousers or fleece-lined leggings, and ankle or knee boots. A skirt works with opaque tights and knee boots. A crossbody bag keeps your hands free for gloves and pockets.

What should men wear in 5 degree weather?

A wool overcoat, a lined chore coat or a light puffer over a jumper or flannel, with jeans or chinos and leather boots. On a dry day, leather trainers work too. A quarter zip under the coat is an easy warm layer that also looks fine in the office.

How do I dress for a day that starts at 5°C and warms up?

Dress for the morning and plan to carry the coat. Wear a layer under it that works on its own, like a jumper over a shirt or a cardigan over a tee, and choose a coat you can fold over an arm or a bag. Boots are still right: the pavements stay cold and often wet well after the air warms up.

Questions people ask

Is 5°C cold?

Yes, for most people. It's cold enough for a coat, full-length trousers and closed shoes, and cold enough that wind or rain make it feel close to freezing.

Can I wear a leather jacket at 5°C?

Only with a warm layer underneath, like a hoodie or a thick jumper, and for short times outdoors. For a long day outside, a wool coat or a puffer is warmer.

Can I wear trainers in 5 degree weather?

On dry days, yes, with warm socks: leather or suede trainers are better than mesh. In rain, wear boots.

Should I wear a puffer jacket at 5°C?

A light or packable puffer is ideal at 5°C; a heavy down parka will feel too warm unless it's windy or you'll be standing still outside.

Can I wear a dress in 5 degree weather?

Yes: a long-sleeve or knit dress with opaque tights, knee boots and a wool coat that covers most of the hem.
