The cold still hasn’t eased. The second week of August began marked by very low temperatures and warnings of extreme cold in different provinces, according to information from the National Meteorological Service released on Monday.
For Tuesday, the vibe remains completely wintry. In Buenos Aires, a mostly cloudy day is expected, with no significant rise in temperature, and in various parts of the country the early hours will continue to be especially cold.
The good news is that dressing warmly doesn’t mean repeating every day the jeans + sweater + coat formula. Today we propose five outfits to play with winter trends while dressing with the real weather in mind.
AMBA: leather pants + XL knit + masculine-inspired long coat
In Buenos Aires, Tuesday will be gray and cold. For the city, a cloudy day is projected, with temperatures hovering around 7 to 11 degrees. In parts of the province, the lows can be even lower.
What to wear today
Try a leather-look or leather pants, an XL sweater in heather gray, and a long coat with a masculine-inspired silhouette.
Leather works particularly well on cold days because it cuts the wind better than some lighter fabrics, and it also allows you to break away from the usual denim look.
On your feet, square-toed boots with a low heel. Add thermal socks if you’re heading out very early.
To brighten the ensemble, incorporate a burgundy or red handbag: a small pop of color is enough to transform a gray and black base completely.
Litoral: dark jeans + standout cardigan + puffer
In the Litoral, humidity can make the cold feel more intense, especially during the early hours.
What to wear today
Choose a dark blue wide-leg jeans, a thin thermal tee, and a chunky cardigan with large buttons.
On top, add a short chocolate, olive green, or navy puffer.
The trick is to let the cardigan take center stage when you’re indoors. You can choose it striped, with diamond patterns, or in a bold color to break away from neutrals.
Complete with leather ankle boots and a crossbody bag.
Center: knitted dress + tall boots
If you’re tired of pants, this Tuesday offers another option that can be just as warm.
What to wear today
A thick-knit midi dress paired with thermal tights and tall boots creates a feminine, comfortable, and especially practical outfit for work.
Above, add a short faux-fur coat or a teddy jacket.
Chocolate, burgundy, and butter tones form one of the loveliest winter combinations and allow you to achieve a sophisticated look without needing to resort to black.
NOA: relaxed tailoring + knit vest
In NOA, where the temperature range between the early hours and the afternoon can be significant, it’s wise to keep leaning toward layered pieces that you can remove easily.
What to wear today
Try with a pin-creased tailored trouser, a light blue oversized shirt, and a knitted vest.
To head out early, add a short suede or leather jacket that you can take off later.
On your feet, chunky loafers with visible socks or retro sneakers.
It’s a preppy, relaxed combination, different from the heavier outfits demanded by winter in the south.
Patagonia: monochrome look + big puffer
In Patagonia, the cold continues to dictate the wardrobe and technical garments remain essential.
What to wear today
Put together a monochrome ensemble in light tones: cream thermal pants, butter-colored wool sweater, and a long beige puffer.
Underneath, add a thermal base layer.
The secret lies in choosing several relatively thin layers rather than relying solely on a massive sweater. This helps retain heat and makes it much easier to adapt to heated indoor environments.
Finish with waterproof boots, a wool hat, and gloves.
Style keys for this Tuesday
Red starts to sneak into winter looks
No need to dress entirely in red. A burgundy handbag, scarf, sweater, or a pair of burgundy tights can elevate a black, gray, or camel outfit.
Stockings also form part of the outfit
With loafers, boots, or dresses, stockings are no longer something to hide. Ribbed wool, heather gray, burgundy, or chocolate can become a stylish detail and add warmth.
The masculine coat remains a versatile staple
Straight, long, and slightly oversized, it allows thick fabrics to be worn underneath without feeling uncomfortable. With leather pants it becomes urban; with tailoring, elegant; and with jeans and sneakers, totally casual.
Accessories: they truly matter today
With low temperatures, accessories stop being merely decorative. Wool scarf, thin gloves, thermal stockings, and a knitted beanie can greatly change the sensation of cold.
If the outfit is very neutral, use one of these to add color: cherry red, burgundy, French blue, or bottle green work especially well with the winter palette.
Practical tip of the day
If you spend long hours between the street, transit, and heated spaces, avoid relying on a single overly thick sweater. Thermal tee + mid-weight knit + outer coat is a far more efficient formula: outdoors it keeps warmth in, and when you enter a closed space, it lets you shed layers without completely disassembling the outfit.
