7 Stylish Outfits to Wear in 50-Degree Weather

On breezy days with a hint of dampness, you’ll want to feel snug and dry. For a classic chic look that will shield you from the elements, you can’t go wrong with a combination of layers that will keep you covered without restricting your movement. Start with a base layer, like a lightweight turtleneck. Pair it with wide-leg pants for contrast, and top it off with a trending winter coat like the Steve Madden Knits It jacket to keep the chill at bay. Neutral tones like camel, navy, or gray will polish your look, and they work well for foundational bottoms, dresses, and outerwear.

As the temperatures climb past 50 degrees, you can wear your coat open or drape it over your shoulders. We love the relaxed ease of this L.L.Bean Pima Cotton Turtleneck. Add the Maeve the Colette Pant at Anthropologie for elevated, casual flair, and finish your look with a fleece-lined coat and loafers.

Sweater weather is perfect for finding a secluded corner in a cafe and curling up with a cup of tea. When the skies are gray, don’t overdress; channel cozy vibes instead. Wearing a casual knit topper with easygoing leggings is the perfect combo for an off-duty day.

When there’s a chill in the air and you’re not in a rush, take time to lean into the calm. We think great outfits start with a simple top, like this Amazon Essentials Long Sleeve T-Shirt or the high-contrast, oversized EVALESS Crewneck Pullover, one of our favorite sweaters under $100. Pick a pair of bottoms from our list of 10 best black leggings, and then add tall boots or a cross-body bag, and take a mini-vacation. (Image credit: @rachel_anne__)

If the sun is playing tag, channel casual comfort in a long-sleeved thermal. Layer a puffer vest on top for a classic cool-weather combo, plus straight-legged jeans to complete the look. This adaptable outfit works for a range of temperatures, and it’s great for taking a weekend stroll to the dog park. Accessorize with stylish sneakers and a cute bag for laid-back comfort.

While you’re shopping for new tops, check out the casual ease of waffle knit shirts. We think the boxy and substantial Everlane Organic Cotton Waffle Henley looks great paired with the oversized Athleta Downtown Vest, one of our favorite trending puffer vests. Pair it with one of our picks for the 10 best straight-leg jeans, like these cropped Levi’s Ribcage Straight Leg Jeans from Shopbop. To finish your look, browse our handbags under $50 and complete your outfit with an upbeat style like this UNIQLO Round Mini Shoulder Bag.

A hint of drizzle should never discourage you from looking your best. When you want to look put together and a bit dressed up, aim for a feminine look with timeless elegance. Pairing a ladylike blouse with a midi or maxi skirt and a trench coat will do the trick. Accessorize this classic look with block-heeled pumps or heeled ankle boots and a structured handbag.

To make this style your own, try wearing a top with a concealed placket like this shimmery long-sleeved LilySilk Blouse. We think it pairs well with a vintage-inspired bottom, like this J.Crew Pleated Skirt. Wear them under a J.Crew Trench Coat for a complete ensemble that will keep you feeling as fresh as a daisy. Don’t checkout without a J.Crew promo code to snag these pieces for less.

If you’ll be out and about from dawn to dusk, dress to go with the flow of the breeze. Create an elevated weekend look with chic basics like a fitted long-sleeved knit, a cute pant, and a stylish denim jacket. Be sure to accessorize with pumps or ankle boots and aviator sunglasses to add flair to your outfit.

When you’re picking out sweaters, quality matters. Our picks for the best turtlenecks include wonderful options in soft cashmere. This Quince Turtleneck makes a perfect underlayer without adding bulk, and it looks great under a Madewell Denim Jacket that recalls old-school workwear. Wear them over a cropped and comfy skinny trouser like this J.Crew Cameron Pant.

On days when you just want to get out the door and look cute doing it, you need a warm and practical outfit. We say you can’t go wrong with a long-sleeved t-shirt and Madewell High Waist Jeans layered under one of our picks for best fleece jackets. 

When the temperatures drop, be ready in one of R&S's best winter layering tees. We’re fans of this heat-retaining ThermaJane base layer, which you can pair with the best straight-leg jeans. Accessorize sneakers or ankle boots and a crossbody bag for a low-key anytime look. (Image credit: @bbaiporuary)

For an evening chic look that plays well after sundown, try wearing a supple black leather jacket with ink-black trousers and an upmarket, fine-gauge knit. Refine your outfit with heeled booties or sleek pointed flats, statement earrings, and a clutch.

We suggest pairing one of these Quince sweaters, like this luxurious Quince Mongolian Cashmere Sweater, with this All Saints Dalby Jacket at Bloomingdale's. Wear these pieces with an urbane high-rise trouser like the Reformation Mason Pant that drapes beautifully over your legs. Don’t forget to pair a Bloomingdale’s promo code with a Reformation coupon to score the best deal on this jacket-and-pants combo. (Image credit: @linhniller)
