Adelaide is blessed with an enjoyable Mediterranean climate which means that the warm and dry summer is not particularly hot and the cool wet winter winter is not cold.
As far as dress code in Adelaide is concerned, Adelaidians tend to be informal dressers. While packing for your Adelaide holiday, the rule of thumb is to dress accordingly for the season.
When the daytime temperatures range from 25C to 35C during December, January and February, and locals and tourists flock to the the beaches and outdoor venues, lightweight clothing such as shorts, t-shirts and open-toe shoes are then required to keep cool.
A light jacket of some sort may be useful in the evenings, especially near the coast or in the hills.
Be aware of the harshness of the sunrays in Australia. Always slop on lots of sunscreen, and 30+ please! Possible risk of skin diseases associated with overexposure is rather high in Australia.
A sweater or a light overcoat would come as useful in the evenings from March through May, when the daytime temperature readings are generally 20C to 25C.
It is very dry in Adelaide during autumn, clothing made of antistatic fibers is then advised to wear. Moisturiser cream is also a must.
You will need to pack warmer clothes for your stay in Adelaide during June, July and August, when the daytime temperatures go down to around 10C to 15C.
Although it does not snow in witner, there will be a real chill in the air and the rain makes it even colder.
A winter wooly, sweater, topcoat, scarf, and warm shoes, plus an umbrella, are appropriate for this period of time.
When the temperatures get warmer again during spring, light clothing becomes suitable again for this time of the year, but you should keep your jackets and sweaters handy just in case the weather changes suddenly.
