Holiday packing - bare legs yay or no with this forecast short city break

[BollockstoThis1]

Going on holiday to Europe thought the weather would be better :-( I don’t usually feel the cold very often as menopausal and we live in Scotland. What should I pack with this forecast thinking of taking a waterproof jacket, a light jacket and an umbrella for definite and a combination of outfits (but probably too summery and I have one hoodie) so far I have overpacked. Don’t want to be too warm or too cold. Walking sandals and a skirt or cut off trousers and bare legs for day time with this forecast yay or no or full length trousers and trainers?!?

Seems a bit chilly....no better than here really. I wouldn't wear open shoes

Depends how much you feel the cold. I’d be packing jeans trainers T shirts and light jumpers plus a medium jacket. Plus a warmer jumper or two for evenings. Wouldn’t contemplate bare legs or sandals. But I get cold easily.

Thanks think I am going to have to rethink everything sadly. I thought it would be a good few degrees warmer than here. I have been without a coat the odd day here in the last few days.

I'd be in jeans, trainers, jumper and coat! Definitely not worth my legs or toes out.

Definitely not sandals! Trainers all the way. A skirt would probably be fine in the daytime if it's not windy - that makes a huge difference. I think layers will be key.

Where are you going? Some places have forecasts which are more reliable than others.

I am on the warm side and feel better being slightly cooler rather than over heating but I don’t want to be miserably cold. I have a hoodie for an extra layer but will have to rethink everything else by what you have said.

Not sure where you are going but we have just come back from 4 days in Amsterdam and it was mostly very chilly and one day was downright cold! I had taken some slip on Sketcher shoes which were perfect for walking around and quite lightweight. I spent all my time during the day in jeans and jumpers. I took a light raincoat but a thicker jacket too. I took a nice dress with boots to wear but never wore it!

For me that would be jumpers, long-sleeve T-shirts, jeans and a medium jacket or a thin one if the jumpers are warm enough.

Trainers or boots, definitely no sandals.

That's what it was like in London last week. In the sun, it was okay but I was still wearing a heavy winter coat most of time.

I don't feel the cold much either, I would wear jeans, trainers and leather jacket and scarf for that weather. No sandals!

A midi skirt with closed toe shoes would be ok but not as practical, and could run a little frumpy.

Thanks I have now opted for trousers and trainers during the day now. I have layers nothing massively warm but I can layer up or strip off if the sun makes an unlikely appearance.

We've just been to the US for a week where the weather was very much like that (apart from a freak couple of days at the beginning in the low 20s).

I mainly wore jeans, trainers, t shirt and a cardigan and took one of those Uniqlo down jackets that can be stuffed in a little bag. Evenings I wore a long denim skirt and t shirt or long jersey dress, cardigan, 40 denier tights and silver Supergas.
