Dressing Smart in DC with ClimaPal - Hero

It's Hump Day Wednesday in Washington, DC, and the weather delivered a classic early September mix: a crisp morning in the low 60s, partly cloudy skies during the day, and a mild, comfortable evening. Wednesdays can feel long—dog walks, a full day at work, and squeezing in some tennis afterward—but ClimaPal made sure I was dressed smart from start to finish.

Morning

Morning — Dog Walk Before Work

I stayed comfortable with the dog and looked put-together enough to transition straight into the workday grind.

I powered through meetings and midweek emails without worrying about overheating or feeling underdressed.
