Some days are warm enough to wear short sleeves during the day.
Once the sun goes down, it gets chilly and a light coat is necessary. A jacket is also recommended, but I usually wear a cardigan or trench coat.
It's so nice that you can wear a shirt or blouse without a coat. If you're going to the beach, the sun can be harsh, so sunglasses are also recommended.
