To pack this for Mallorca in February?

Off to Mallorca/Majorca (Palma City) in Feb half term. From what I’ve googled the weather will be chilly in the evenings but could be anywhere between 8-16 degrees during the day. Would it be unreasonable to think most days I could wear your typical ‘influencer mum uniform‘ of dress with denim/leather jacket and trainers and not be too cold? Could kids get away with shorts/T-shirts and a hoodie? Thoughts/experiences please.

Personally I would be too cold at those temperatures in the outfit/look you have suggested. If you want to go for that kind of look, I think you need to consider adding other layers - a good long sleeve knit, a scarf or wrap, even gloves/wrist warmers and definitely a proper coat for evening. I live on an island (not Mallorca Wink) And despite being in southern Europe, late winter/early spring can feel bitterly cold in the evenings with the wind whipping off the sea. Wear what you would usually wear at home in the same temps.

you could but you’ll probably be cold. I’d pack some jeans and wear a medium heat coat on the flight out, then at least you’ll have something a little warmer should you need it. It can be hit and miss, because it’s an island too, expect clouds and rain.
