Wear a tank top underneath, so it gets hot you can take it off, and during the chilly nights throw it back on! Another great alternative to light jackets or long sleeve shirts is a flannel! With the buttons, it’s easy to layer something underneath for the cold weather. Then, when it’s time just take it off and wrap it around your waist for a cool look.

For the winter weather and cooler temperatures, which can be early mornings or later on in the evening choose a light jacket! Shown are a couple of different options that are perfect to keep cozy. During the winter months, Florida does tend to get cold fronts from the more northern states.
When this happens a light jacket might not do the trick. The important thing to do is always check the weather before your exact trip date. Just in case, we added a slightly heavier jacket to the list.
