October begins, and the wardrobe still can’t forget the in-between season. This Thursday, October 1 arrives with moderate temperatures, clouds, and some rain in different parts of the country. In Buenos Aires, the National Meteorological Service forecasts a mostly cloudy day, with approximately 11°C minimum and 17°C maximum, with no significant rainfall expected.
In Rosario, the thermometer will move roughly between 11 and 21 degrees, with a possibility of light rain in the morning and clearing toward the afternoon. In Salta there will also be instability, with about 13 to 21/23 degrees and a probability of rain and isolated storms.
The dressing formula for this Thursday is fairly clear: a light base layer + a third piece that really keeps you warm.
AMBA: trousers + white tee + tweed jacket
The 17°C maximum forces us to slow down for a day the almost-summer looks that appeared last week.
What to wear today
Choose a fine-wale corduroy trouser in a straight cut, in camel, cream, or chocolate.
Pair it with a white cotton T-shirt and add a short tweed or bouclé jacket.
The idea is for the coat to be the protagonist, but without returning to a full-length coat.
On your feet, loafers, closed-toe flats or retro sneakers.
To break with the more wintry palette, add a light-blue, red or butter-yellow bag.
It’s a perfect look for a Thursday at the office: it has structure, keeps you warm, and doesn’t feel heavy.
Litoral: gray jeans + pink shirt + cropped cardigan
Rosario will begin October with approximately 11°C minimum and 21°C maximum. The SMN contemplates a precipitation probability between 10% and 40%, especially during the first part of the day.
What to wear today
Choose a straight gray jean and pair it with a pale pink shirt.
Up top, add a short cardigan in burgundy, chocolate or navy blue.
On the feet, leather sneakers or loafers.
If you’re heading out early, stash a foldable umbrella in your bag.
The gray jean is a great alternative to blue denim, and when paired with pink or light blue, it instantly sheds any wintry air.
Center: Oxford trousers + knit polo + cropped jacket
In various parts of the country’s center, Thursday also starts with cool temperatures and instability. In Río Cuarto, for example, the SMN forecast released this week anticipates isolated rains during the first half of the day, with approximately 12 to 23 degrees.
What to wear today
Return the Oxford trousers, a silhouette that’s making a strong comeback this spring.
Choose it in denim, gabardine or light tailoring and pair it with a fine-knit polo.
On top, a cropped cotton jacket.
On the feet, sneakers with a touch of platform or low-heeled ankle boots.
Proportion matters: as the trousers gain volume downward, it’s best for the jacket to end at the waist or just below.
NOA: denim skirt + tee + utility jacket
Salta will remain under a fairly changeable outlook. For this Thursday around 13 to 21/23 degrees, light rain and the possibility of isolated storms during some parts of the day are expected.
What to wear today
Choose a denim midi skirt and pair it with a short-sleeve T-shirt.
On top, add a lightweight utility jacket.
On the feet, sneakers or loafers.
If you want to add color, try denim + olive green + pink or denim + butter-yellow + chocolate.
And bring an umbrella: here the problem isn’t so much the cold as the possibility that the weather changes while you’re out.
Patagonia: gabardine pants + sweater + lightweight puffer
In Bariloche, October starts practically with winter-like temperatures: the forecast places readings approximately between 1 and 10 degrees. During the morning it will be partly cloudy, and the probability of precipitations increases toward the second half of the day.
What to wear today
Choose a thick-gabardine pant, a long-sleeve shirt and a sweater.
On top, add a lightweight puffer or a waterproof jacket.
On the feet, boots or closed sneakers with warm socks.
Here we still need several layers, but you can bring spring color: cream, light blue, green or pink combined with chocolate and gray.
3 Style Keys for this Thursday
1. Corduroy Can Also Be Spring
Do not pack away the corduroy pants yet.
The difference lies in weight and color: choose lighter versions in camel, butter, old pink or cream and pair them with light T-shirts and shirts.
2. The Oxford Pant Makes a Comeback
After several seasons dominated by wide leg and barrel jeans, the flared silhouette is regaining ground.
And it has an advantage: with a simple white T-shirt and a cropped jacket you can build the whole look.
3. The Cardigan Replaces the Coat
On days of 17 to 21 degrees, we don’t always need a jacket.
A mid-weight cardigan can function perfectly as the final layer, especially when paired with a shirt.
Accessories: a Splash of Color for a Gray Thursday
The sky may be overcast, but the look doesn’t have to match it.
Try red, light blue, or butter-yellow bags, gold hoops, slim belts and small scarves.
Footwear continues to work especially well with loafers, retro sneakers and closed-toe flats.
And if you’re in Rosario, Salta, or any area with a chance of precipitation, the foldable umbrella returns to your bag.
Thursday’s Practical Tip: Don’t Confuse October with Summer
The month has changed, not necessarily the temperature.
In Buenos Aires we’ll only reach around 17°C as a maximum, and in Bariloche the minimum may hover around 1°C.
So it’s not yet time to make the definitive wardrobe switch.
Store away the heaviest coats, yes, but keep handy cardigans, cropped jackets, some sweaters, gabardine pants and a waterproof jacket.
The key for this Thursday is to dress in layers, but with a difference from August: now the garments are lighter, the colors brighten, and the coat stops dominating the entire ensemble.
Because October begins exactly as Argentine spring usually does: with a desire to debut the season, but still compelled to check the forecast before dressing.
