The key for two climates is three-fold:
- base your clothing on the warmest temperature and layer additional clothing under and over for cooler temps
- utilize convertible clothing such as pants that roll into capris and long sleeve shirts with roll tabs that convert to short sleeve
- bring temperature extenders for layering: silk tee shirt or long underwear top, leggings, base layer shirt, puff jacket, scarf, raincoat
It looks like this:
* Bring a sun dress and add leggings and a sweater for cool days. Add in a silk tee underneath for cold days. Wear with sandals on warm days and perhaps with ankle boots on cold days
* wear a short sleeve or roll tab shirt on warm days with a skirt or roll up pants. Add a sweater, and under layers as needed for cool days. On cold days add the leggings under the pants.
Key temperature extenders:
* silk like cami top like Uniqlo airism top
* scoop neck silk long John top
* wool socks
* leggings
* a t zip base layer top (synthetic or wool)
* puff jacket like Patagonia nano puff
* waterproof jacket
* decent cardigan
* 1-2 scarves
Key convertible clothing
* lightweight convertible top like the Express Portofino top (roll tab sleeves only)
* pants with stretch in them so you can roll them up and cuff them. I use Royal Robbins or Columbia.
I'd suggest
2-3 pants
2 short sleeve top
2 light weight long sleeve tops
Another light top
1-2 sweaters
Dress
Sandals
Ankle boots?
Low cut waking shoes?
Plus the extenders
All material should be light weight. Warmth is from layers not thickness .
