Ways to adapt it

If Warmer:

If the temperature climbs toward the 59°F average high, the oversized sweater can be swapped for a lighter cotton long-sleeve tee, maintaining the silhouette under the leather jacket without overheating.

If Rainy:

Given the high probability of rain this month, swap the canvas tote for a waterproof nylon bag and ensure the leather jacket has been recently treated with a water-repellent spray.

Dress It Up:

Replace the distressed denim with sleek, black coated jeans and trade the chunky boots for a pointed-toe leather ankle boot to transition this look from a daytime coffee run to an evening bar setting.
