What to wear in 26°C (79°F) weather

Short sleeves by day, one light layer in reserve for the evening.

The formula

Outer layer: Unlined cotton overshirt or a light linen jacket, for the evening
Top: Short-sleeve knit polo, cotton tee, fluid blouse
Bottom: Cotton chinos, light straight-leg denim, linen-blend trousers
Shoes: Clean leather sneakers, loafers without socks
Extras: A light scarf for air conditioning

Fabrics. Cotton, linen blends, fine-gauge knit

Palette. Ecru, light grey and sand, with a navy accent.

You are at the warm end of this range. In full sun, the lighter top from the hot guide is enough.

If the morning sits around 21°C, start with the outer layer from the mild guide; by an afternoon near 29°C you will want it off.

If it rains at 26°C: swap the outer layer for a water-resistant one and choose leather or rubber-soled shoes.

Air-conditioned offices run cold. A thin layer saves the afternoon.

No. It is warm: most people are comfortable in short sleeves.
