Winter across California
The first real chill typically arrives mid November, and hoodie weather usually runs late November through February. The coast stays mild all winter, while the mountains and the Central Valley have real cold mornings. Snow is occasional and usually brief, but the cold snaps still catch people without a jacket.
What to wear in California, layer by layer
A simple wardrobe rule for California. A sweatshirt is the winter workhorse. It is usually enough on its own for mornings and evenings, with a tee for the middle of the day. A hoodie adds a bit more warmth when a cold front rolls through. See the size guide for fit.
