How do people dress in San Francisco?

By layering your clothing, you can add and remove pieces as necessary. I always bring along a light sweater or jacket whenever I go out (yes, even in the summer!) so I can warm up or cool down if needed. SF is a very casual place, so you can wear jeans or casual clothes to almost any event, restaurant, or bar.
