For what to wear in 65 degree weather, this example assumes 65°F, about 18°C. Try a breathable top, jeans or light trousers, and a cardigan or jacket you can remove. Wind, sun, activity, and personal comfort can change the choice. At 65°F, sun, wind, and activity can change how an outfit feels. Macaron can compare a removable layer with the base clothes you own.
Treat 65°F as a starting temperature rather than an outfit instruction. A shaded windy walk and a sunny seated lunch can feel different. Check the morning and evening range and choose an adjustable combination. Use the sweater combinations in casual autumn layers.

Take a fine cardigan, overshirt, or light jacket that fits your bag when removed. A bulky coat can be inconvenient if you warm up while walking. Choose a more protective outer layer when rain or wind is part of the actual forecast.
For packing rather than one day, apply spring travel layering.
A cotton tee with light denim or woven trousers is a useful example. Add a thin knit for a cool start. Check how the fabrics feel during your planned activity rather than judging warmth from appearance alone.
Choose what goes under the knit with cardigan base layers.

Example casual look: tee, straight jeans, cardigan, and sneakers. Example polished look: blouse, tailored trousers, light jacket, and loafers. Keep a layer for the return journey and adjust to your own cold tolerance.
A 65°F reading does not tell you whether you will be in sun, wind, rain, or an air-conditioned room. Check the local forecast and the hours you will be out. Pair a comfortable base with one layer light enough to carry after the day warms. Walk outside briefly in the complete outfit if you can, rather than deciding from the number alone.
Adjust the removable layer first. If you are warm by midday, carry it instead of changing the base; if you are cold in wind, a more protective outer piece may help more than another thin top. Choose footwear for the actual ground and precipitation. Your activity level and comfort can shift the answer even when the temperature number stays the same.
