AIBU to think 21 degrees is sundress weather ??

[Alfiedoggy]

AIBU to wear a sundress when we go on holiday if the weather is 21 degrees ?? Or should I be thinking more jeans ?? Help ! Dh being useless and packing dilemma :/!!

[Hoppinggreen]

We go to Spain every October and the weather is usually 20-25.
We are in shorts or swimming in the sea etc while the locals are in coats and jumpers.

I'd wear a dress but have a cardi in case of clouds shade breezes.

21 is nice IMO.

[Joules68]

I'm not a girly girl so please excuse me, but what on earth is a 'sundress'? I'm 46 and I actually don't know

[Madeyemoodysmum]

A dress with thin straps like bra straps in width
Something that shows the shoulders

An be any length. Knee Mini or maxi.

It was 19 degrees here last week and my kids were all wearing suncream and tee shirts :). 21 degrees is warm, I can't believe people wearing fleeces and cardis in that!

I agree, definitely sundress weather. It was 18 degrees up here last week and I was in sandals and short sleeves, kids in shorts.
If there is wind then definitely take a cardigan but I would certainly be thinking dresses / strappy tops etc

[BrokenToeOuch]

Fuck me, sundress or not, 21 degrees and I'm not even thinking about getting out of my jeans until at least 28!! Softy Southerner here, but dress for the weather as I see fit - 21 is very much jeans, light long sleeved t-shirt and jumper. I have Caribbean roots and don't feel warm until it gets over 30 or so - so rarely! My DC would probably have light dresses and cardis at 21 though. It's not hot by any ANY stretch of the imagination, surely? surely?

[Twattyzombiebollocks]

Maxi dress and cardi, full length linen trousers or cropped jeans for me. And would have to be pumps, can't do sandals till it's 25 or more or my feet get cold.
That's if I'm sitting about, if I'm walking or working in garden then I'd ditch the cardi and prob tuck my dress in my knickers

[BrokenToeOuch]

Everything, 18 in sandals and short sleeves??!! Mental! - when you say up here, where does that mean ( like, the north pole?!)

[Ploppy16]

This is such a regional thread
Up here in the Pennines 21 degrees is the start of a heat wave!

[GeordieMama]

21 degrees? I'd be out in a bikini

[Stripyhoglets]

Dresses with leggings for legs if a bit chilly!

[Meglet]

I'm with brokentoe on this one. 21 degrees is still light layers and socks weather. Southern Softy here too.

I can tolerate 25 degrees as being bearable, but don't really feel warm until it hits 30+.

Death Valley was 50 degrees. Me "ooo, this is nice, not having to wear a coat ." My DSIS gave me a look.

[EverythingsDozy]

Oh yes, it was a beautiful day! I had my patio door open all day, my washing out and would have been sat in my garden had it not been like a building site!
Not quite the North Pole, think Manchester way!

[BrokenToeOuch]

Jesus, where the fuck do you live or 21 to be the start of a heatwave? You lot are all certifiably nuts!
Geordie a bikini at 21 degrees?? I'm honestly (like, seriously honestly) thinking you must be joking? Please?! My central bloody heating is set to 22! Don't come and visit me, you'd be naked

[EverythingsDozy]

We can't all have nice southern weather! Some of us have to take the good weather when we can!!

[Madeyemoodysmum]

I'm southern and I love 21. 30 is unbearable. I hate it hot.

[Dwerf]

It wasn't even 16 degrees here, I was in jeans and a teeshirt. Ideal walking temperature.

[BrokenToeOuch]

30 is not hot you mentalist
30 is just about getting your legs out weather - approaching what I'd call a sundress but!
Everythings we've not had nice southern weather yet, we're about to get our garden sorted so I can practically guarantee we won't get it either!
Dwerf I hope you were walking to somewhere with nice warm radiators!

[EverythingsDozy]

Now you're just being daft!! If I went on holiday and it was 30 degrees I would be delighted!

[Cuteypatootey]

take both :)

[TOADfan]

21 was perfect for me anymore and I start to get too warm. I was away in Spain last week and I was sweating in a bikini at 23c.

I live in NI btw if that helps for stats

[LoopyKitten]

Jeans I reckon. Dresses at about 26. But I live in the tropics so get cold easily when in Europe.
