SXSW Tips: Dress in Layers
Austin weather in March? Fickle, fickle, fickle! Dress in layers.
Bring a light jacket or sweatshirt, because SXSW can get quite chilly at night, and the Convention Center is highly air conditioned as are the movie theatres! But many of the restaurants and bars have outdoor space.You’ll need to be prepared for multiple types of environments. Multiple t-shirts, tank tops, and a sweatshirt on top usually work well for me.
Austin spring is very unpredictable. It might be hot and humid the whole time you’re there, or it might be overcast and drizzling. Sometimes SXSW is gorgeous and warm, sometimes SXSW is plagued by chilly nights, and sometimes there are sudden thunderstorms!
Dress code tends towards the casual but hip (and painfully hip once SXSW Music starts). Pack accordingly.
