Frequently asked questions

What should I wear when it's 50 degrees?

Two layers: a long-sleeve top or light sweater with a light jacket you can take off, jeans or trousers, and closed shoes. Add a scarf in the morning if it's windy.

Is 50 degrees jacket weather?

Usually yes — a light jacket. In full sun and while moving, a sweater alone may be enough; in wind or drizzle, choose a wind- or water-resistant layer.

What does 50°F feel like with wind?

Using the National Weather Service wind chill formula, 50°F feels like about 46°F at 10 mph, 45°F at 15 mph and 43°F at 25 mph.

Can I wear shorts in 50 degree weather?

Most people find it too cold for shorts unless they're running or working hard outdoors.

Is Fit The Forecast free?

Yes. It's free with no sign-up; it reads your forecast from Open-Meteo and suggests three outfits for your style, occasion and budget.
