I’m indoors today, but I’m wearing jeans, thermal vest, cotton jumper, fleece and pure wool neck scarf 😂 I don’t wear jeans etc in summer , but that’s still at least 6 weeks away!

It looked much warmer outside than it really was this morning!
I think
@Bodgeitandscarper
is the real arbiter of the weather clothes-wise. If she isn't wearing shorts yet, it is
definitely
too cold. If she is, you might want to wait a few weeks before showing your knees!

One of our neighbours isn’t wearing his shorts yet so it’s not time to change.

I do much the same as Ruthie and have a couple of tubs of out of season clothes on the hard to reach top shelves and this morning I was thinking that it's nearly time to switch over, though there's always a bit of in between seasons stuff accessible.
Yesterday I wore a skirt and shirt for the first time in ages (without a thremal under layer) and although today is supposed to be several degrees cooler it's not that cold and I'm still comfortable with just a long sleeve top and trousers. Time to put away the thicker jumpers and winter boots but not really time for summer dresses.

@Acorn
has it right - I've been wearing shorts for about 10 days I think - although when we went to Skeg the other day I cracked and put jeans on, but it was cold and very wafty!
I don't have different clothes apart from shorts and then sleeveless tops when it's a bit warmer. Bingo wings, who cares

I don't have hot or cold clothes, just more layers if needed. Mind you we don't have really cold here.

Doesn't seem warm enough to me yet for the 'summer wardrobe '. Once it's ok for bedding plants to go outside sounds about right. But of course layers may be the answer. Iobe a good cardigan.

Yesterday in the garden in a short sleeve t shirt my arms got slightly brown, so today I suncreamed before going out briefly then coming in to put on a fleece. When May be oot then I might cast a few cloots but my year round uniform is jeans & a top except for those few days on a sunny holiday when the knees & arms are uncovered. It's time to put the boots & parka away though I reckon.

I keep thinking it’s time to put the winter coat away, but then I do the school pickup with a twenty min wait between Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, definitely not the right time yet.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can change (or at least add a few summery things) my wardrobe but it's gone cold, wet and windy again here and looks to be that way for at least another week so, no. I hate having to give up my boots but I may think about tucking them away by the end of the week.

Yeah I've given up and put the central heating back on today.
Although its not switchover time quite yet I would quite like to have a big try on session and see what needs donating and what might need replacing.

No, absolutely not, not yet. I turned the heating off and to put it back on. We took the duvet off, in favour of 2 light blankets and I'm freezing. I am still in my heavy jumpers so don't be fooled by that glimmer of sunshine!
