What to wear to Outside Lands: San Francisco sits at 19°C (66°F) by day and 12°C (54°F) at night in August, on city park, with a low chance of rain. That means a light base with one warm layer you can carry, cushioned trainers or a low boot, and a bag small enough for the gate rules. The crowd leans indie, streetwear and alt, so anything that survives the day reads as right.
