5 ways to wear Wailoa when the sun is shy
Starting point. The South-West isn't always sunny, and that's good news for style.
A grey sky isn't an obstacle, it's an opportunity to layer. Here are five ways to put our pieces together when the weather is hesitating between two showers.
01 · The simple duo
T-shirt and sweatshirt, no fuss
A dense T-shirt under a slightly looser sweatshirt: the absolute basic for a drizzly day, going from the office to an impromptu walk without a second thought.
02 · When the wind picks up
Sweatshirt with a windbreaker on top
★our
favourite
When the wind picks up on the ocean side, a light windbreaker pulled over the sweatshirt is enough to cut the cold without weighing down your silhouette. Ideal for a planned surf session followed by a coffee on a terrace regardless.
03 · The morning layer
Light fleece and beanie
At altitude, the temperature drops quickly as soon as the sun hides behind a peak. A thin fleece paired with a beanie keeps you warm without turning a hike into a polar expedition.
04 · Drizzly days
Cap and hooded sweatshirt
Against light, intermittent rain, the sweatshirt's hood is often enough for a short journey. Keep the cap on to protect your eyes between showers, without getting the waterproof jacket out for so little.
05 · When the evening turns cool
Double up the layers for the evening
A session or hike that ends at nightfall quickly sees temperatures drop. Keeping an extra packable layer in your bag — a sweatshirt or compact fleece — saves you from getting cold on the way home.
Frequently asked questions
How should you dress when the weather is uncertain in the South-West?
By layering several light pieces (T-shirt, sweatshirt, windbreaker or fleece) rather than a single thick one, so you can adapt throughout the day.
Which piece should you always keep in your bag when the weather is uncertain?
A compact, packable layer, such as a light sweatshirt or thin fleece, to cope with a drop in temperature at the end of the day.
One garment, one adventure memory. Even when the sky can't decide.
