What to Wear in 10°C Weather: 7 Nike Outfit Essentials

Dressing for 10°C weather can be a struggle. These mild days—which can pop up in between seasons—aren't quite balmy enough for short sleeves, but they're not chilly enough for a heavy jacket, either.

Nailing what to wear in 10°C weather can take some trial and error—and lots of strategic layering. The key is wearing versatile clothes that can be styled in a number of ways and easily thrown on (or slipped off). This way, you can make wardrobe adjustments on the go.

Read on for outfit ideas and a round-up of the best Nike clothes, shoes and accessories to help you embrace 10°C days in style.

While a heavy puffer jacket or parka would be overkill on a 10°C day, you'll probably still want a lightweight jacket option, like a Nike bomber jacket, to wear as an outer layer.

For example, the reversible Nike Sportswear Women's Varsity Bomber Jacket features just the right amount of lightweight padding, so you still have enough room to layer a hoodie or sweatshirt underneath. The full-length zip keeps out gusts of cool, outside air.

On the men's side, the Nike Sanctuary Corduroy Bomber is another warm, loose-fitting option with a smooth, nylon lining, so you can easily slip it over other layers like Nike long-sleeve T-shirts, too.

A puffy, insulative gilet is a wardrobe staple for 10°C weather, as you can easily slip it on over long-sleeve tops or jumpers. Opt for a midweight puffer gilet with Nike Therma-FIT Technology, which helps retain body heat to keep you warm.

For example, the Nike Sportswear Therma-FIT Legacy Men's Gilet combines elements of a puffer jacket and a windbreaker, resulting in a durable, water-repellent gilet with press-stud front pockets and cosy fleece lining.

Meanwhile, the Nike Sportswear Therma-FIT Windrunner Down Gilet, which comes in men's and women's sizing, features lightweight down insulation and a tailored fit. Layer this over a slim-fitting long-sleeve tee with velour joggers for a comfy, casual look.

You can't go wrong with a comfy fleece hoodie or sweatshirt in 10°C weather. Nike styles range from hoodies to zip-ups to crew necks—all of which are great for layering and come in different types of Nike fleece.

• Nike Tech Fleece: For those who want warmth without bulk, Nike Tech Fleece sweatshirts feature a premium and sleek fleece material. With a smooth and tailored fit, Tech Fleece is easy to layer underneath a gilet or lightweight jacket in 10°C weather.
• Nike Club Fleece: For a softer, more plush alternative to Nike Tech Fleece, opt for Nike Club Fleece hoodies. These sweatshirts feature a brushed fleece material for that classic, cosy sweatshirt feel.
• Nike Phoenix Fleece: If you're looking for a twist on the standard fleece sweatshirt, check out Nike Phoenix Fleece. These tops come in oversize fits, cropped cuts, half-zip varieties, mock-neck styles and more—adding some flair to a comfy wardrobe staple. One Phoenix Fleece zip-up style comes in a longer, knee-length cut, giving the look of an oversize cardigan and the feel of a super-soft fleece blanket.

To complete the look, consider pairing a Nike fleece sweatshirt with matching fleece joggers to wear as a set. A coordinated tracksuit makes for a casual, athletic outfit that's warm enough for 10°C days.

Jeans are a classic choice for 10°C weather, but if you're looking for something warmer, stretchier and more comfortable, opt for a pair of loose joggers or roomy tracksuit bottoms.

• Nike Tech Fleece: Just like the sweatshirts, Nike Tech Fleece joggers offer a sleek profile (think: tapered ankles and non-bulky fabric), while still retaining plenty of warmth.
• Nike Club Fleece: Lean into comfort in a pair of Nike Club Fleece bottoms, which range from wide-leg fits to classic styles with elastic ankle cuffs. Some feature details like cargo pockets or sewn-in patches.
• Nike Phoenix Fleece: These bottoms—like the tops that match them—feature a brushed fleece ideal for temperatures teetering around 10°C. You'll find high-waisted cuts, extra leg room and an oversize fit, which keep these joggers looking casual and low-key.

What you choose to layer under a light jacket or jumper can make or break your comfort level on a 10°C day. Starting with a long-sleeve tee can give you the versatility to remove outer layers as the day warms up or put them back on if you feel a chill.

Nike long-sleeve shirts range from relaxed styles to training-ready options that feature Nike Dri-FIT Technology, which wicks away sweat to keep you dry. Find Waffle-knit fabrics, soft jersey cotton materials and a variety of bold colours and graphics in Nike Sportswear tees.

Boots tend to pair well with jumper weather—especially when the 10°C forecast includes rain. To keep feet warm and complete a cosy look, sport a pair of Nike sneaker-inspired boots.

Many Nike boot styles, including Nike Air Max and Nike Air Force 1 Boots, mimic classic Nike sneakers but with extra features like fleece or polyester lining for added warmth.

For hikes and other outdoor adventures in 10°C weather, opt for functional boots, like those in the Nike All Conditions Gear (ACG) line. Features like waterproof GORE-TEX material provide comfort, protection and cushioning that will keep feet dry and warm.

While high-top kicks are a timeless, go-with-anything sneaker style, they're especially well-suited for brisk weather because they keep the ankles covered.

Take the iconic Nike Air Force 1 High, for example. These shoes come in a wide variety of colours and materials you can pair with almost any outfit. Nike Air cushioning underfoot keeps these shoes comfortable for all-day wear.

For another classic, retro shoe that covers the ankle, go with a pair of Nike Blazers. The slim silhouette and exposed foam on the tongue give these shoes a vintage look. Some styles come with unique and exaggerated details, like a jumbo Swoosh logo or quilted leather on the upper.
