Wardrobe help !! Forecast is windy.

Visiting Key West when it’s windy can affect how comfortable you feel, especially near the water. The key is to dress in layers, wear wind-resistant items, and choose comfortable footwear for walking around town.

Here are some wardrobe tips for a windy Key West trip:

  • Lightweight, breathable long-sleeve shirts or blouses to protect from the wind without overheating.
  • A windbreaker or light jacket—something packable that can block gusts but won’t be too heavy.
  • Comfortable shorts or pants depending on your tolerance for cooler breezes.
  • Closed-toe shoes or secure sandals—wind can make flip-flops blow off, especially on the boardwalks or ferries.
  • A hat with a strap or a cap that won’t fly away, plus sunglasses to shield from both sun and wind.
  • Optional light scarf for added warmth if the wind picks up.

Additional tips:

  • Consider quick-dry fabrics in case of splashes or humidity.
  • Layering allows you to adjust if the wind drops or the sun gets hot in the afternoon.
  • If planning evening outings, a slightly warmer layer may be needed as temperatures can feel cooler with wind.

Overall, think lightweight, breathable, and wind-resistant clothing for comfort while exploring Key West in breezy conditions.
