How do you dress for the temperature?

Are you “always hot” or “always cold”?

I usually run warm. I’ll take my jacket off once it’s 65 degrees. When it’s over 70, I’m already in shorts or skirts and sandals. When it’s over 85, I can’t workout outdoors unless it’s slow walking or swimming.
In the winter, I know how to bundle up although haven’t really needed to here in 2023. When it’s 20 degrees or below I’ll wear tights underneath pants, a Canada Goose coat or a Russian dublenka (a coat with fur on the inside and leather on the outside).

My family though, they are always cold, my mom will bundle up when it’s 60 degrees.

What I found funny, was I used to live in Eastern Europe, and they would dress for the calendar, not the temperature. For example one day it was about +20 C in March and I was yelled at for wearing regular shoes and not boots and not having a coat, because it was March, never mind that it was warm.

I live in San Francisco, where there can be a 10 degree discrepancy depending on which side of the street you're on. In general I never need more than a t-shirt and sweatshirt. Aside from a lightweight rain slicker, I haven't worn a jacket in over a decade.

In the mornings it's high 40's-low 50's and I go out in leggings or jeans, and a t-shirt. I'm cold, but I walk fast and that warms me up.

I am in shorts when it hits the 60’s. I hate the heat.

I dress to be comfortable (and I run cold, so right now I'm wearing long sleeves and long pants even though it's mid 70s). I do try to match my materials and colors to the season, so I'm not wearing dark brown plaid on a spring day.
