What to wear at temperatures between 5 to 15 degrees
The temperatures are dropping, and the cold has truly set in. Every morning, it’s a challenge to decide what to wear at temperatures around 5 to 15 degrees. Mornings can be quite chilly, while the temperature can rise in the afternoon with a bit of sun. But what’s the best clothing to wear in these conditions?
What to wear at 5 to 15 degrees: layering
As temperatures start to drop and autumn transitions into winter, mornings and afternoons can show significant temperature differences. The tip? Opt for jeans, pants, or leggings paired with layered tops - this combination is always a safe choice.
The advantage of layering? You can remove a layer in the afternoon when it gets warmer and add it back in the evening as temperatures drop again. Another perk? The endless styling and mix-and-match possibilities, which we love at PB.

What to wear at 5 to 15 degrees: the oversized scarf as an extra layer
Do you get cold easily? An oversized scarf is not only the perfect companion to a transitional or winter coat, but it also doubles as a cozy indoor accessory. Whether you go for a knitted or woven scarf, it can act as a statement piece, especially if you choose an oversized design, a bold color, or a printed option.
Drape the scarf over your shoulders or loosely knot it around your neck. Want to style your scarf as a true extra layer? Opt for a poncho-style scarf.

What to wear at 5 to 10 degrees
This temperature range is undoubtedly part of the colder days. The closer it gets to freezing, the more layers your outfit will require. However, at around 10 degrees, sunny weather can still feel relatively mild, so choose layers that are easy to add or remove.
What to wear at 5 to 10 degrees: when to wear a sweater
As the mercury drops, chunky knit sweaters, sweatshirts or cozy hoodies are essential. The lower the temperature, the chunkier and more oversized the knit can be.
If temperatures hover closer to 10 degrees, switch to a finer knit sweater, either worn solo or as part of a layered look. PS sensitive to itchy sweaters? Rear our eponymous blog about itchy wool types and how to wear an itchy sweater.

What to wear at 5 to 10 degrees: how to wear a shirt?
The shirt is always an exceptionally stylish choice, whether you opt for a classic poplin shirt or an oversized version. Naturally, you can wear the shirt solo, perhaps with an undershirt, but this piece is also perfect for layering as an alternative to the jersey long sleeve. Think of styling it under a sweater, vest, strapless top, or simply under a cardigan or gilet.
Tip!
Want to layer a shirt? Opt for a modern approach by choosing an oversized or loose-fit shirt to create contemporary volume and a playful effect.

What to wear at 5 to 10 degrees: at how many degrees a winter coat?
The winter coat - along with a beanie, gloves, and scarf - is one of the most essential parts of your winter wardrobe for staying stylishly warm during the colder months. At temperatures below 10 degrees, it’s definitely time to bring it out of the closet.
What type of coat should you choose for cold weather? A puffer jacket is ideal for any kind of winter weather, adding extra warmth - especially for those who feel the cold more intensely. A wool coat remains a classic favorite for its timeless elegance. And what about a lined raincoat? These coats are perfect for keeping warm while braving rain, snow, and cold winds. Stylish options are offered by brands such as Kassl, Maium, and Ilse Jacobsen, with a wide range of colors to choose from. Which winter coat is your favorite?

What to wear at 10 to 15 degrees?
10 to 15 degrees is still relatively mild, especially with some sunshine, as 15 degrees can feel quite pleasant. Around 10 degrees, however, it can feel a bit colder, so the layering rule applies once again.
Is 15 degrees cold or is 15 degrees warm?
15 degrees is a temperature that can feel either colder or warmer depending on the weather conditions. A sunny day at 15 degrees can feel warmer, while a grey day at the same temperature might feel quite chilly. The key is to build your outfit with layers.
What to wear at 10 to 15 degrees: can I go outside without a coat?
10 to 15 degrees is unfortunately not yet warm enough to go without a jacket. That’s why blazers and shackets are the perfect solution.
The blazer has long been a favorite, serving as a transitional cover-up and an extra indoor layer. An oversized blazer, paired with an oversized T-shirt (long or short-sleeved) or a blouse, is a must-have in any woman’s wardrobe. It’s also ideal for layering, whether with pants, jeans, or even a silk skirt.

Tip
Tonal styling is an absolute must. Match the colors of your outfit to your (oversized) blazer to create an exceptionally stylish and modern look. Mix and match fabrics and textures for a playful effect.
The shacket - a hybrid between a shirt and a jacket - is the perfect transitional outerwear piece between seasons and an ideal indoor cover-up during colder periods. Wear it over a basic T-shirt, a silk blouse, or a knitted sweater, or pair it with a skirt or dress and tights - the options are endless. Its loose or oversized silhouette is perfect for layering, while also adding a touch of style to your outfit. With a variety of denim styles and printed shackets available, there’s a shacket to suit every taste.

What to wear at 10 to 15 degrees: how to wear the open cardigan?
The open cardigan is one of the most versatile pieces for layering at temperatures around 10 to 15 degrees, but it doesn’t always have to be paired simply with a T-shirt or blouse. Opt for open cardigans in fine-knit fabrics, as these are best suited for this temperature range.
Experiment with lengths and textures and combine knitted cardigans with a shorter under or top layer. For example: layer a long sleeveless cardigan over a denim jacket, combine a short, lightweight cardigan with a matching sweater for a modern twinset or pair a cropped cardigan with a silk top. The key is contrast - to create an outfit that truly stands out.

Tip
Spring and summer clothing can easily transition into winter, but layering is key. Pair your shorts or skirt with thick tights to keep your legs warm, use your lightweight summer jacket as an indoor cover-up, or layer a sleeveless dress over a knitted turtleneck sweater. The possibilities are endless.
