Help me dress for Cornwall

[Minorie]

Any tips? I've been so disorganised, so just have some jeans and leggings. Trainers too but no walking boots, plan to get these there.
Wool coat
Waterproof coat for mixed weather

Take layers, thermal vests, hat, scarf and gloves, wool jumpers

Dont think you need anything special other than walking things if you're doing that. It is best to break walking boots in a bit.

Maybe an artist's smock?

Definitely don't forget the waterproof and lots of layers. Cornwall always had plenty of fine sideways rain.....locally known as mizzle....to soak right through you.

Plan for wet weather and the activities that you going to be doing. It probably won’t be that cold but it could be wet and windy.

If I was heading to Cornwall in December my minimum would be:
Wellies, walking boots, trainers
Jeans, some trousers for walking (either comfy cords or Sweaty Betty leggings).
Base layer and comfy fleece like jumper for walking then other nice tops and jumper for the pub
Long waterproof coat, and a cagoul
Hat, gloves, big socks and body warmer.

Would you bother with wool dresses or coats, and just take raincoats?

I always feel a bit uncomfortable in jeans so was sticking with leggings?

What about short hunter wellies, is that too much?

A yellow sou’wester is essential in Cornwall.

You will probably find Cornwall wetter and warmer than winter elsewhere, although we do have cold snaps! So waterproofs and layers. Daywear is jeans and wellies tbh, but going out for dinner or drinks people do tend to dress up a bit, probably because it’s so casual the rest of the time!

You can spot visitors because the blokes have 3 layers and a coat on top and shorts below. So maybe not that..

Def plan for rain, it's pretty much a constant in the SW!
So plenty of layers and either waterproof or quick drying items.

I think wool dresses are a nice idea if you are going to the pub, or it’s dry and you are wandering about a nice town. I would only take a non waterproof coat (as an extra) if I had checked the weather forecast can it looked dry.

But I can’t over stress the importance of having good waterproof shoes or boots.

Tbh I don’t think anyone will give a toss about Hunter wellies. Definitely take them!

Clothing for UK weather which this time of year is casual layers. Raincoat. Walking boots.

Only pack something more dressy if eating out in a nice restaurant.

Have a lovely time.

Leggings under jeans! 😆

I wouldn't go fancy, it's only locals around this time of year and noonenis dressing up. Plenty of pub car parks will throw up mud and rain as you walk around so I wouldn't bring anything nice nice.

When are you coming? It's bitter in the wind right now!

What are you planning on doing? Just wear what you would normally wear?

If you are planning on going walking then yes wear boots with a coat.

It's been quite a bit colder the last couple of days. It's the wind, I think. I'm not on the coast, it's probably worse there.

Might be a bit cold for leggings, if you're planning to be outside a lot.

I live in my puffy jacket at this time of year. Boots (leather, not wellington!), decent socks, jeans, t-shirt, warm jumper.

Waterproof coat definitely necessary.

Wool dresses etc would be fine if you're going to be indoors, I wouldn't wear one outside for an actual walk/hike.

I'm in costal Devon, it's been chilly and windy here for weeks. I live in jeans, fleece lined Robells (much nicer than they sound!) or cords. Then M&S long sleeves thermal top and various jumpers (or silk thermal layers if I want less bulk)

I wouldn't bother with a wool coat unless you've got something special to do.

Is your waterproof warm? If it's just a cagoule type lightweight layer you will want something warmer. I live in a GAP mid length "posh" parka type coat with a decent hood. In coastal areas you'll struggle with a brolly so worth having a decent hood! I haven't got my wool coats out of the loft post covid!

Boots, I wear Reiker or Remonte chunky leather boots most of the time or fur lined sketcher boots is it's not too wet.

I dog walk in open countryside and this time of year I wear chunky muck boots rather than my leather walking boots as it's too muddy and slippery for the normal boots. It does depend what type of walking you are going to do though. If I'm waking walking in towns/ seefronts then I stick with the Reikers.

Have a lovely time!

*edit, I agree that leggings will be chilly this time of year
