For me, the best weather has to be a good 65 degrees, breezy, and clear skies. As a perpetually awkward summer dresser, the year round ability to where slightly heavier clothing is, objectively, the best. Also, it is far easier to stay warm than it is to cool down. Layers can be added as needed. Layers can only be removed so far before the moms at the playground start calling the police about the naked bearded ginger.

My favorite weather are those days when it’s sunny out, but it’s also raining a little, and nice and warm. There are a number of advantages to having this type of weather:

- The rain will make the flowers grow.
- Sun helps plants grow.
- Warmth is good for everybody. - Variety is the spice of life.
- It’s super trippy when it’s raining and sunny at the same time.
- You can still go out and do things because it’s not always rainy.
- It’s not too hot.
- It’s not too cold.
- All you need is a light jacket.

I’d say I like things sunny and cool, with highs of maybe 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Actually, the sun doesn’t matter so much, just as long as it stays about 45-60 year round. Why? Because this is prime jacket wearing weather. Yep, I’m choosing the type of weather I like by the kind of clothing that I would wear during it. But you have to understand, I am not a man with any form of fashion sense. I’m very good at hiding this, for two reasons. The first is because if you have a decent t-shirt and some nice, tight fitting jeans, and are in decent shape, no one is going to tell you, at least to your face, that you’re a bloody slob. The second reason is jackets. Jackets are the key to everything that you ever wanted to be. They make you look tall, dark, and mysterious, even if you are short, extraordinarily Caucasian, and tend to spout exposition out of your mouth at the slightest jostling. Jackets can also hold your things. A tiny notebook tucked in your voluminous pockets, pens, keys, wrappers, old receipts from who knows how long ago, bottle caps, an oddly shaped stone, your change; in short, your life. In a jacket, you cut a calm, imposing figure, a bit like a cape, or a robe, without the added baggage. It flows behind you endearingly as you navigate the winding streets and cobblestones near some famous cathedral. A jacket keeps the drizzle off your back. It is your solace. It is your best friend.
