As a starting point for everyday attire, a good rule-of-thumb is to always wear (or keep close):
- a coat warm enough to spend the next 24 hours outside (including if it rains)
- shoes good enough to walk home from school / work / wherever
The most "dangerous" seasons in this regard are Spring and Fall, when the days are warm but the nights are cold. For rain protection I don't always have a waterproof coat but have a plastic garbage bag or, more recently, a Wal-Mart disposable poncho (less than $1 USD) in my PSK.
