Smarten Up: The Expert Guide to Looking Sharp in a Florida Winter

Florida winters often allow lighter clothing than colder regions, but conditions vary across the state and cold fronts can bring chilly weather. Check the forecast for your destination and plan layers for cooler evenings.

Lightweight wool suits can work well for Florida offices in winter. In relaxed workplaces, cotton or linen may also suit the dress code. For dinner or an event, a blazer with separate trousers offers an alternative to a matching suit. Bring a warmer layer when temperatures are expected to drop.

On rare cold days in the 50s, a light sweater or cardigan can add some warmth over a collared shirt. Though for Floridians, even 50s feels cold! A colorful silk or cotton shirt can substitute for a suit for more casual occasions. Blue, gray, and tan suits are popular year-round. But Florida winters are a good time to wear lighter suits in cream or pastel colors. Even with slightly cooler temps, Florida men only need small changes to stay stylish in the winter.
