On the other hand, you'll need the full regalia at Logan, so anything you use there will take care of the minor chill in The Villages.

Have a great time!

Yes, when I came our LSV in November, I knew my clothes from Logan would add to my wardrobe. Thank you for your help!!

Try googling 30 day weather temp for The Villages - will give you an idea.

Something Changed??
 
I know this is an El Ninio year but I thought I was a tough Canadian girl (Winnipeg=Fargo) and last night for New Year's at the square I wore UGG boots, Gloves, cotton scarf light weight winter down jacket. I was comfy cozy. Especially driving home in the golf cart. I don't love putting down the enclosure. We tend to keep the driver side open as I feel a bit clostophobic. It's cold now but it will warm up and February will be shorts/tank weather. Layers layers layers!!

Hoodie, tee, boxers, long pants, socks & shoes when going out in the cold during winter months is all I need. Of course in the home you can just wear shorts and a tee since you'd have the heater on anywhere around 72-78 degrees.

Don’t forget a lite blanket to keep in the golf cart basket, put over your legs for the ride home in the evening.

Very bad idea, blanket could get caught in tire and pull the passenger out of the cart. Never have anything loose fitting in open moving vehicle. That goes for dog leashes also.

Over the last eight years we have found January and February can be quite chilly. Definitely bring some warmer clothes. If you are coming from a cold climate it might not seem so chilly to you, but I'd be prepared. The sun will be shining tho.
Enjoy.

Considering this post is from RetiredGuy123 the "no bras" seems perfectly appropriate!

Hi Pam, I am from Mass too. You’ll be happy in shorts, sweatshirt, lightweight jacket most of the time. Pools are heated to 80/82 degrees, and I swim a few mornings a week even when it’s 50 degrees. You will have one set of cold weather gear for traveling from and to Mass, so that will be enough.lots of places to play Pickleball.

I don't think I need New England sweaters but perhaps a coat and hat? Jeans? Shorts? Light dresses, short sleeves? Bathing suit would be good, I hope. I would be greatly appreciate any input.

A lot of good responses here. `Check weather.com. Can give you 10 day forecast and averages. Expect a couple of days in the high 20's for the lows in the day and several days when the temperature can get in the low 80's. Think layers.

Thanks so much. I was wondering about the pickleball clothes!

Depends on how early you play. Usually after 9am it’s in or close to 50s on cool days?
