Dressing for February
Late winter, still cold with wide daily swings. Layer a knit under a coat.
February still belongs to winter even as spring nears. Late cold lingers while afternoons ease up, so the daily swing starts to widen — below freezing in the morning, above it by midday.
Keep the heavy outer but make the inner layers easy to adjust. A knit under a coat, thinned out when the afternoon warms, carries you through the day's gap.

Frequently asked
Can I drop the puffer in February?
Still a bit early. But with more mild afternoons, a windproof coat over a knit lets you go gradually lighter.
How do I dress for February's swing?
Outerwear for the morning, base layer for the afternoon. With sub-zero mornings and above-zero middays, an easy-off build helps.
Can I wear spring clothes early in February?
For the afternoon, yes — but keep a winter outer for the cold morning and evening. Hint at spring through fabric, safely.
