The appropriate clothing choice in 53 degree F weather depends on several factors. The two most important things to consider, other than temperature, are wind and precipitation. The air right next to your skin, your laminar boundary layer, gets warmed by your skin. On a calm day, your laminar boundary layer (which may include the air between your clothing and skin, for example) is not disturbed, so you feel warm once your body initially heats up that air. When it is very windy, your laminar boundary layer is continuously being replaced by cold air, which your body continuously loses heat to. This causes you to feel much colder on windy days than on calm days. This effect is known as wind chill. Higher winds make the air seem colder than it is. Additionally, precipitation can affect how you should dress. On a rainy day, water can soak your clothing and make you feel cold as it evaporates. For this reason, staying dry is as important as staying warm. To a lesser extent, cloud cover can affect your warmth. Solar radiation can warm your skin slightly, while on cloudy days, this effect is not present. 53 degrees is not warm enough for a clear sky to be a reliable source of warmth, however.

In summary, a calm, clear 53 degree F day calls for pants, closed shoes, and a jacket, because it's somewhat chilly. If you're used to warmer climates, dress more warmly. Dressing in layers is important, so that you can shed one layer if you get too warm.

If it is windy or raining, wearing something wind- and/or water-proof is highly recommended in addition to the clothing mentioned above. Rubber boots are also highly convenient for keeping your feet warm. Even in temperatures above freezing, hypothermia can occur if you don't dress warmly (or dryly) enough.

Answer 3

In 55 degree weather, you could wear a light jacket or sweater with a t-shirt or long-sleeve shirt underneath, along with jeans or pants. It's a good idea to add layers that you can easily remove if it gets warmer during the day. Consider bringing a scarf or hat for added warmth.
