it's ridiculous to wear uggs ANYtime.

if you're driving up from LA on the 5, remember that the bay bridge will be closed, so take 152 to gilroy and come up 101.

The weather is going to be a bit chillier by the end of this week (the 50s at night). Any kind of boots would be fine in the evening, and would not look silly.

As you'll probably notice when you get here, people wear all kinds of clothes, day or night; there's no fashion judgment here.

Definitely layers--a light jacket.
Every time I've been to SF, no matter how hot may be in the day, the temperature drops significantly when the late afternoon/evening rolls around and it gets quite chilly.

Uggs would be too much for SF in the evening. It hasn't been that cold in the evening in the SF Bay Area. It has gotten windy though.

Just bring a pair of closed toe shoes & you will be fine.

S.F. is a liberal city. You should wear what you are comfortable in. Of course, your dress would be appropriate to what you are doing at night: ie: Opera, fancier restaurants etc.
We are in the beginning of a 3 day heat wave (Tues-Wed.-Thurs) then the fog will roll in. So it can be chilly and windy, especially at night.

Weather can be different in various areas. The Mission district is warmer. Downtown is warmer than out by the beach, but also windy which affects the chill factor.
Hope you have a good time!

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

On a more serious note, I was there two weeks ago and it was definitely chilly at night, like in the mid 50's. I was wearing a light jacket and it was barely enough. Boots wouldn't be that silly as it's pretty damn cold there at night.
