Pretty much everything I wear is weather dependent. Good boots; gloves - kevlar mesh in hot weather and insulated gloves in cold. Jeans and chaps up to about 80 F, armored jeans in the heat. Leather jacket; again up to 80 or so F, armored Kevlar mesh Jacket in the heat. The Kevlar jacket has a rain liner. Sometimes just wear a 'wife beater' undershirt under the jacket. Helmet (by choice) - half helmet most of the time, full face when it's cold (under 40 degrees F). Been known to ride around our little town with just a long sleeved shirt - but on the highway I want some protection from rocks, debris etc.
