WHAT TO WEAR IN SAN FRANCISCO IN FEBRUARY
No need for heavy winter ware here, just a light or medium weight jacket or coat will do most of the time.
Bring a couple of sweaters or pull-overs to dress in layers for the colder days and some lighter spring clothes for the warmer days.
The wind near the waterfront tends to be somewhat stronger so dress accordingly and remember to bring a good pair of walking shoes.
