Dressing for March
Early-spring transition. Chilly mornings, mild afternoons — easy on/off layers win.
March is the early-spring transition. Just as it feels like spring, a sudden cold snap returns — that's the month's signature, and dressing light off guard backfires. Daily swings often top 10°C.
The answer is an easy on/off light layer. A trench or cardigan over a thin knit or sweatshirt; if a cold snap is forecast, step up one layer and warm your neck.

Frequently asked
How do I prepare for March cold snaps?
If a sudden chill is forecast, step your outer up one level and block the wind with a scarf. A light outer plus an inner layer stays easy to adjust.
Can I still wear a coat in March?
Yes — a thin wool coat or trench is ideal now. Layer a knit for the morning and shed it midday.
Is a puffer overkill in March?
Usually yes. Unless a harsh cold snap hits, a coat or trench over a knit is plenty.
