Jeans n' T-shirts, 2.0

[thebitterguy]

So, yes, one of the great conundrums is this: What, exactly, IS Jeans & T-Shirt weather?

Today, ladies and gentlemen, we settle that debate for good.

I'd like to start by outlining why I decided we needed to settle this. Last weekend, while she was reducing me to a whimpering man/wretch, ketronic mentioned a divergence in opinion on this topic between herself and her relations to the East.

Edit: Props to anidada for pointing out that I did it wrong. Mea Culpa, etc.

So, yes, we shall settle it for good: What is jeans and T-Shirt weather?

To clarify, this is weather where it's warm enough that you don't need a sweater, but you still need jeans instead of shorts. Select all options where you'd wear eschew both a sweater/long shirt and shorts.

Temperatures are Celsius/Fahrenheit.

Ultimately, I don't feel qualified to vote, because this is something I've thought about way too much. ^^;

There's a huge element of relative comfort here. In the spring, I start being comfortable wearing short sleeves outside when the daytime highs start to hit the upper teens, say 16 C or more. But once we've had a good solid week of 22 C and up, I put my jacket back on when it goes down to 18 C (even though I initially took it off for a lower temperature).

In the fall, I'm not sure what temperature would make me start wearing long pants, but I suspect it's around 20-22 C, because that feels downright cool after a 33 C summer.

When I was little my family would drive down to the southern US to visit family over the Christmas holidays. It would be -10 C at home, but after a day and a half of driving, we'd be in Maryland and it would be 14 C and we'd be running around in short sleeves at all the interstate rest stops.
