Who’s transitioned to autumn wear? Is it safe to get out all the jumpers / knit wear / boots / tights / cosy socks etc??

I’ve not been paying attention when out and about so need inspiration 😂

I've swapped my entire wardrobes over to Autumn/Winter clothes then had to add some Summer items back as it's unseasonably warm.

I am longing for some chilly weather! ❄️

I’m in London too and now it’s bright and warm. I have a cardigan on but a summer dress on underneath. I need space in the drawers so wanted to pack short sleeves / summer wear away.
Yesterday morning it was foggy overcast. Decisions decisions.

No, it's still ridiculously warm here in Cornwall

Yes, rural Scotland but I was in London on Friday and it was shorts and t shirts weather.

Jumper in the mornings for the past week or 2. Usually ditched by lunchtime.

Got a max of 14C tomorrow tho...

North West and I’ve got my grungy chunky cardi out, but am wearing it over short dresses with tights.
Basically wearing it instead of coat when leaving the house.

No but I normally hold out as long as possible anyway as I run hot. Tee shirts and sandals in Oct are normal for me but I've still got summer dresses in use this week. It's supposed to be down to 16 for a couple of days later in the week but then warming up again, below 16 is where I go back into trousers, cardis, trainers, hoodies etc.

No, i open the wardrobe and look longingly at my autumn and winter dresses but it still too warm for them.

friedaklein · 05/10/2026 14:28

Am honestly considering buying more summer clothes as I had very few but now need cotton tees for the Tube in London.

friedaklein · 05/10/2026 14:45

22 C and 81% humidity where I am!

TrayMake · 05/10/2026 14:51

I go to work at 0630 when it’s cool, wearing a light jumper, jacket and tights. Then on the way home on the tube it’s baking. My car said 23 when I got into it just now.

RedRiverShore6 · 05/10/2026 15:12

Can you pack some of it away and just leave a few bits out, that's what I did and got some of the Autumn stuff out. I just walked to the shops in my sandals and it felt so warm, the thermometer in the shade says 23.

RedRiverShore6 · 05/10/2026 15:17

I'm a bit miffed that I haven't been able to wear my new cords that I bought about a month ago or even the denim jacket I bought in Next sale, the shops are full of thick jumpers and I felt hot looking at them today.

OneNewEagle · 05/10/2026 15:22

No I’m still in shorts and T-shirts or vests. Not even unpacked my autumn clothes yet.

LaurieFairyCake · 05/10/2026 15:24

Went out earlier in a thin silk long sleeved shirt and a cashmere tank top

was 20 degrees when I set out. Walked down to Greenwich where it was 29 in the sun! And 26 on the shaded side of the street !

completely overheated and then got the bus home

LadyLexi · 05/10/2026 15:27

21 degrees where i am in ireland today not a hope of me reaching for anything remotely wooly yet !

Doggymummar · 05/10/2026 15:32

I always wardrobe swap August bank holiday weekend as there is the extra day. I have on occasion worn a jumper but sadly on the whole I have been too warm. I went out in t shirt and sliders today rather than jacket and boots

Abouteffingtime · 05/10/2026 16:06

Nope, still in shorts!

Deeandwizzy · 05/10/2026 16:14

No. It’s 22 degrees today where I live.

robinsnest1967 · 05/10/2026 16:21

Its 4.20pm and 23 degrees in the South East. Vest top and loose trousers here.

EffortlessDiscussion · 05/10/2026 16:37

I have to say I am loving this weather (SE, low 20s), it was far too hot in the summer but just right now. Happy for it to carry on a while longer yet, I am not in any rush to get out the winter woollies. So nice to not have to think about taking jumpers, coats, scarves etc when you go out.

Honeypizza · 05/10/2026 16:50

We had a beach day yesterday so I'm in no hurry to pack away the summer clothes just yet! Not complaining though.

BitOutOfPractice · 05/10/2026 16:50

24° here today. So no. Not yet.

MeetMeOnTheCorner · 05/10/2026 16:52

Yes. In the evening. Have my new cashmere cardi on right now!

dudsville · 05/10/2026 17:09

I've mostly stepped out if the light summer dresses and into denim and corduroy trousers. I have two cotton linen jumpers and several jackets for the transition season. It's not yet time for wool!
