How people dress in Toronto
- Winters are harsh, with January and February lows around −7 to −8 °C plus snow and wind chill, so an insulated coat, hat, gloves and scarf are essential.
- From December to March, waterproof boots with good grip handle snow, slush and road salt.
- Much of downtown is linked by the underground PATH walkway, so in winter wear layers you can open up indoors.
- July and August are warm and humid, with highs around 26 °C, so light, breathable clothes work.
- Spring and autumn change fast, so a mid-weight jacket and layers cover April–May and October–November.
