What to wear at night? Is it cool in the parks?

[ErinInCT]

Weather.com shows 70's for the lows. Do people wear pants at night or shorts? We are planning to see all the night time fireworks shows & the campfire/movie at FW. Can't decide how to dress for the evenings! We're going at the end of the month. Any ideas on what to pack?

It is nice in the 70's. It is a little humid, so that makes it feel a little warmer. I always wear shorts. Light weight pants would probably be ok too.

as adults we seem to be fine in the evenings when we have visited at that time of year...but the girls feel better with a long sleeve shirt or light coat with their shorts....

I think you would be warm in pants. It is still humid at night, and with all the walking around you do at the parks, I think shorts are best. That said, I always bring a sweatshirt with me at night, just in case!

Yes, I would wear shorts, then have a sweatshirt, or light jacket for the evenings and the AIR CONDITIONING in the buildings.

As long as your core (your chest area) is warm, shorts will be fine.

I've even been perfectly comfortable in shorts and a sweatshirt down to the low 50s.

Add an extra layer to that and a hat, gloves, and warm socks and shorts are comfy in the mid 40s.

I know it sounds weird, but it works.

Remember the early 80s when walking shorts with heavy sweaters in the winter were the big style

If your really concerned, try those convertable cargo pants where the bottoms zip off. During the day you have shorts, then in the evening if you do get cool just zip back on the bottoms of the pants. They take up practically no room in the cargo pocket or day pack or fanny pack.

DH and I are always warm so no worries there but I am packing windbreakers for the kids at night, they will also double as rain jackets. My kids are cold natured.

Hope to see you there!

Depends if you are usually a hot or cold type of person. I am always cold. So I usually wear cargo pants or capris at night and carry a light jacket just in case.
