Most weather apps hand you a number and expect you to translate 52°F into a jacket decision on your own. Dressed for the weather skips that translation step entirely. Set your clothing tiers once, and every morning it turns the forecast into an actual outfit call instead of a chart you have to interpret yourself.

What this shortcut does

The shortcut pulls today’s weather and checks it against the clothing tiers and temperature ranges you’ve set up, then tells you what to wear for the morning, afternoon, and evening, or hour by hour if you want finer detail. You can choose whether it judges outfits by the actual temperature or the “feels like” number, which matters more than people expect on a windy or humid day.

Beyond the outfit call, it can optionally read back a fuller weather summary covering highs, lows, rain chance, UV index, wind, tomorrow’s outlook, air quality, and humidity. You pick whether that comes back as a Messages alert, a plain alert, or Siri reading it out loud.

Adding it to your iPhone

Tap Add Shortcut on this page to open it in the Shortcuts app.
Scroll the preview to the bottom and tap Add Shortcut to confirm.
Run it once and fill in your own clothing list and temperature ranges so the suggestions actually match your wardrobe.
Choose actual or “feels like” temperatures, then pick how you want results delivered: message, alert, or Siri voice.

Using it day-to-day

Once it’s configured, running it is a one-tap habit. Tap it from the Home Screen, drop it on a widget, or just ask Siri, and it checks the forecast for wherever your iPhone thinks you are. It automatically switches between °F and °C based on your phone’s regional settings, so there’s nothing to reconfigure if you’re traveling. On days when the forecast doesn’t call for anything unusual, you can have it skip the outfit suggestion instead of telling you the obvious answer every single ninety-degree afternoon.

There’s also a bonus delivery mode worth trying once: novelty Siri voice styles for reading the forecast back, including a Yoda-style read and a TV-weatherman delivery. Not essential, but a nice touch on a slow morning.

Use cases

Deciding what to wear before you’ve even opened a weather app, especially on days when the forecast swings hard between morning and evening.
Getting the rain chance and UV index bundled with your outfit call, so you know whether to grab a jacket, an umbrella, or sunscreen.
Pairing it with a morning alarm or automation so Siri reads out your outfit and forecast before you’re fully out of bed.
Skipping the suggestion on obviously hot or obviously cold days, so you’re not told to “wear shorts” every afternoon in July.

Limits

The clothing tiers and temperature ranges are entirely up to you to define, so the suggestions are only as good as the wardrobe list you enter, with no built-in closet or brand catalog behind it. Version 2.0 also added language support, currently limited to English and Japanese, with more possibly on the way.

FAQ

Do I have to type in my own clothes?

Yes, the outfit tiers come from a clothing list you edit yourself after installing, so the first run doubles as a short setup pass rather than something that works out of the box.

Does it use the real temperature or “feels like”?

Either, depending on what you pick during setup. Judging by “feels like” tends to matter more on windy or humid days, when it can diverge quite a bit from the actual reading.

Can Siri just read the forecast out loud instead of showing an alert?

It can. Pick the Siri voice option during setup and the shortcut speaks the outfit and weather summary instead of popping a message, including the Yoda and TV-weatherman voice styles the author added for fun.

Does it support any language besides English?

Japanese support arrived in version 2.0 alongside English. Nothing beyond those two is available yet, though the author has floated adding more down the line.
