how do bodies regulate temperature at mild temperatures?

Question

When it gets too hot, humans sweat, when it gets too cold, they shiver. How does the body regulate its internal temperature at those mild climates where a person can wear anything from a few layers to nothing at all without feeling a major shift in comfort level?

Blood flow. Increasing flow to the extremities like your hands and feet will cool it down a little. Sending less to the limbs and more to the core will keep the internal temperature higher.
