What Baltimore's weather means for clothing brands
With July averaging a high of 90°F and about 43 days a year at 90°F or more, a midweight tee covers most of the summer, and one lighter style handles the hottest weeks. January averages a high of just 44°F, so the winter drop should include a heavyweight hoodie, a beanie and a jacket, live before November. Rain totals about 44 inches a year, so wet days are part of the season: a hooded pullover or an anorak in the fall release gets more wear than a crewneck. With about 19 inches of snow a year, a cuffed beanie sells alongside most winter orders, so bundle it with the fleece drop. About 52 nights a year reach freezing, so a fall release with a beanie and a crewneck that layers under a jacket covers the cold snaps.
