What is the best way to dress in May? Even though summer days are increasing, the lowest temperatures can drop dramatically.
The three cold and four warm days of April have settled down, and the maximum temperature becomes stable in May, with an increasing number of days exceeding 20°C. Summer days exceeding 25°C may appear, but there are still many days when the minimum temperature is in the mid-10°C range, and on some days the maximum and minimum temperatures can be close to 10°C apart. When going out, it is essential to check how much the temperature will change that day, and on days when the minimum temperature drops, it is recommended to carry light outerwear that can be quickly thrown on. Shirts, T-shirts, and sweatshirt-type clothing are the main items to be used, and knit items made of cotton, linen, and other dry materials are also in view. Another approach would be to choose clothes from a leisure perspective, as May also includes Golden Week. So, what is the basic clothing appropriate for May?
Basic May outfits (1) “Light outerwear over a T-shirt or light knitwear.
In May, depending on daytime temperatures, you may be able to spend the day in a short-sleeved T-shirt. However, it is dangerous to go out in just a T-shirt on days when you will be outside until night. On days when the temperature difference is wide, it is recommended to carry a light outerwear such as a zip-up parka, a thin nylon jacket, or a shirt jacket. Light outerwear made of thin fabrics can be folded up small and stored in a bag without being too bulky, and can be carried on the shoulder or wrapped around the waist without a bag. It is one of the basic patterns of May clothing to wear outerwear that does not become luggage even if you take it off.

Basic May Outfit 2: “Create a layered style using sweatshirts and parkas as the main garment.
(1) While carrying light outerwear such as those mentioned in (1) is recommended, it is also a good idea to enjoy layering sweatshirt items such as sweatshirts and hoodies with T-shirts as the main item of clothing. Although it is a little difficult to adjust the temperature here, you can take it off when you feel hot and sweaty by wearing an item that looks good even when used alone, rather than a T-shirt with a strong undergarment feel as an inner layer. It is also good to wear it with sweatpants as a set-up.
