Looking for the perfect outfit for what to wear for 70 degree weather? Here are seven chic outfit ideas for those surprise 70-degree weather days, no matter what time of year!
Styling the perfect outfit for what to wear in 70 degree weather is crucial. Weather conditions can impact how the 70-degree weather day feels if it’s windy, sunny, cloudy, or rainy.
Here are seven different outfits for 70 degree weather, whether it’s a surprisingly warm winter day, a mid-spring afternoon, or a cool summer evening.
This post is all about what to wear for 70 degree weather.
What To Wear 70 Degrees
How Should You Dress In 70 Degree Weather?
The most important factor to consider when determining what to wear for 70-degree weather is your personal tendency to run hot or cold. By this I mean, do you usually get hot or do you usually get cold?
I tend to feel cold easily (even when it’s warm), so I always bring extra layers for preparation. If you’re like me, not only will extra layers help you out, but styling clothing that’s equally breathable as it is warm for 70-degree weather. Lightweight knits, like silk and cotton, are great choices for tops, sweaters, and jackets. I’ll also style a fitted cami or tank under a shirt so I have insulation against my skin. My feet also get cold easily, so unless it’s clear and sunny outside, I’ll wear closed-toe shoes.
If you tend to feel hot easily, breathability is good. Avoid tight, restrictive clothing, especially if layering. Skip the cami underneath a loose shirt, and bring a lightweight sweater or jacket instead. Open-toed shoes allow air to flow which helps keep the body cool. Light colors are also cooler if the sun is out.
Next, assess the weather. Days without sun may feel cooler while bright, sunny days will feel warmer. Humidity also plays into the feel of the air outside as does a rainy day, where a light jacket or trench coat might be necessary.
Easy, breezy, and chic. These casual outfits for 70 degree weather are perfect for street style, going to school, a low-key date, or running errands.
Lightweight Suit Separates + Fun Top + Sneakers
Style a bold blazer and trousers with a fun top for a great streetwear look, going-out look, or date night outfit. You can remove the jacket if you get warm and have a “just-as-cute” look with a one-shoulder top or printed tee.
Midi Dress + Denim Jacket + Ankle Boots
A midi dress looks so chic with a distressed denim jacket. Keep the boots or swap with sneakers for something more casual, or loafers for a modern twist. I love how the hat matches with the boots, balancing the top and bottom.
Chambray Shirt + Denim
A chambray shirt is a warm-weather wardrobe essential. Great for layering over tanks and knitwear, or alone. You can dress it up or down. Love the easy, two-tone denim look on this model.
You can never go wrong with a classic striped top. A fitted style looks great tucked into trousers, jeans, or a denim maxi skirt.
Short Sleeve Button-down + Denim
I love a short-sleeve button-down with denim on a 70-degree weather day. Tie the hem as this woman did, or layer over a tank. Great look for a fall or spring day, or a casual evening.
Casual Jumpsuit
A casual jumpsuit with sneakers is a chic, modern look for 70-degree weather. Dress this up with a sleek updo and ankle boots.
There’s something so chic about an oversized button-down styled with a pair of jeans. Roll up your sleeves for the warm weather and tie the hem, or tuck it into a pair of pants or a belted skirt.
Cropped Leather Jacket + White Tank + Jeans + Combat Boots
It doesn’t get more classic, street style than a leather jacket, a white tank, distressed denim, and a pair of chunky boots. A leather jacket is a quintessential piece for those overcast, 70-degree weather days.
Work Outfits For 70 Degree Weather
Knit Maxi Or Midi Dress
A lightweight knit dress is a great day-to-evening look in the spring, fall, or cool part of summer. Opt for cotton, silk, linen, and acrylic blends
Tonal Separates: Blazer + Cami + Trousers
Style a three-piece work outfit with different shades of your favorite neutral – or go for a blue or green tonal look.
Suit With Ankle-Crop Trousers
70-degree weather is perfect for showing your ankles with cropped pants or suit set, styled with your favorite flats or pumps. A slim ankle pant will always be a timeless wardrobe staple for the office.
Beige Blazer + Black Top + White Pants
Work your separates using the rule of thirds for a 3-color look. Neutrals never fail, but don’t be afraid to throw in a non-neutral as your third color.
A skirt suit is a classic choice and it’s nice to not need stockings for warmth. Opt for a tailored style like the woman above, or go for a trendier style in tweed.
Oversized Shirt + Pencil Skit + Silk Scarf
I love how she styled a casual, oversized shirt with a cute pencil skirt, and then elevated the look with a gorgeous silk scarf. Scarves are my favorite accessory to add interest to a simple outfit.
Long Sleeve Shirt Dress
A shirt dress is a one-and-done item that always delivers, and you don’t need to layer under it in 70-degree temps. Add a waist belt to emphasize curves and style with a light-colored boot or a pair of ballet flats.
Lightweight Blouse + Trousers + Tweed Jacket
A tweed jacket instantly upgrades an outfit, plus it’ll provide that coverage and warmth in the office and on your commute.
Light Blue Button-down Shirt + Ivory Trousers + Black Pumps And Accessories
A classic button-down, a pair of trousers, and pumps is the easiest go-to office look for 70 degrees. I love outerwear, but there’s something incredibly freeing about not needing any…am I right?
70 Degree Weather Work Outfits
Need an outfit for lunch with friends, an appointment, or a date night? Try these stylish outfits for 70 degree weather.
Nice Top + Slim Trousers + Structured Jacket
I love this outfit for an evening out and how she mixed the pop of yellow with neutrals. While the jacket may be optional indoors, it’s helpful after the sun goes down outside.
Jumpsuit + Tied Button-Down
I’m so excited to try this look with my own wardrobe. A simple jumpsuit (preferably sleeveless or short sleeve) with a relaxed button-down over top. You can tuck the button down with a waist belt, let it hang loose and open, or knot the hem at the waist. I love how she left the one hem hanging, for an effortless “undone” (but thought-out) look.
Blouse + Trouser Jeans
Trouser jeans are the contrast of polished trousers with casual denim. This is an everyday look that you would definitely see on the streets of Paris. The leather tote bag adds structure to balance the relaxed aesthetic.
This is how you get away with wearing shorts in 70-degree weather. Layer knitwear and/or a jacket on top. Such a cute style for fall.
Long-Sleeve Mini Dress + Boots
A long-sleeve mini dress with boots provide enough coverage to be comfortable on a 70-degree weather day.
Off-The-Shoulder Knit Top + Belted Denim
A strapless knit top is a great choice for those who get chilly easily, but don’t want to wear a jacket outside.
Boatneck Top + Lightweight Jacket + Jeans
Adding a lightweight jacket to a simple top and jeans is an easy way to look more stylish. Look for linen and silk jackets, or try a kimono. Also, a headwrap is a stylish alternative to a hat on a bad hair day in the warmer weather.
What’s your favorite temperature for a day out and why? Comment below! I prefer 65-78 degrees (Fahrenheit), but as long as the sun’s out I can make it work.

Just a girl standing in front of a closet, deciding what to wear next. When I'm not styling outfits, you'll find me dancing to live music with my partner, enjoying meditative walks with my dog, or planning my next adventure.
