October is coming to an end, but spring hasn’t fully settled in yet. After a weekend of rain and instability in different regions of the country, this Monday, October 26, finds us once again facing the closet with a question: what should I wear to avoid feeling cold in the morning and not end up too bundled up in the afternoon?
In Buenos Aires, the National Weather Service (SMN) forecasts a cool day, with a low of 9 degrees and a high between 16 and 18, depending on the forecast updates. In Rosario and Córdoba, temperatures will hover around 20 degrees, while Salta will have a particularly chilly Monday.
The good news is that, in several cities, the rain will ease up. That allows us to reclaim items we had set aside during the stormy days and to play with textures, silhouettes, and accessories.
The motto for today is to dress in layers, mix mid-season pieces, and add small trend-driven touches to transform a Monday look into something much more interesting.
AMBA: barrel jeans + t-shirt + tweed jacket
Buenos Aires starts the week with a cold morning and a partially cloudy sky, which will become cloudier as the afternoon progresses. The SMN forecasts temperatures between 9 and 16 degrees, with no significant precipitation expected for the city.
What to wear today
Choose a dark blue barrel jean, one of those with volume in the legs and tapering slightly toward the ankles.
Pair it with a light blue and white striped shirt, and add a short tweed jacket in cream, gray, or navy.
On your feet, leather loafers with thin socks or low-heeled ankle boots.
To complete the ensemble, incorporate a structured chocolate-colored handbag and gold earrings.
The mix of denim and tweed is one of those formulas that always work: it blends the informality of jeans with a classic piece that adds elegance.
And best of all, it’s ideal for a cool Monday at the office.
Litoral: relaxed-tailoring trousers + t-shirt + knitted vest
In Rosario, the forecast anticipates a low of 9 degrees and a high of 20, with a cloudy sky and no rain expected during the day. In other cities in the Litoral, temperatures can vary and be somewhat higher.
What to wear today
Choose a relaxed-tailoring pant in beige, light gray, or navy.
Pair it with a white cotton tee and add a fine-knit vest in burgundy or olive green.
On your feet, retro sneakers or loafers.
For the early hours, bring a lightweight jacket you can remove when the temperature rises.
The combination of tailoring and a knitted vest has that preppy vibe that continues to win over street style, while also being easy to adapt to daily life.
Center: denim midi skirt + lightweight sweater + cropped jacket
Córdoba will have a cool Monday morning and a more pleasant afternoon. The forecast from the SMN predicts temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees, with cloud cover and no rain expected.
What to wear today
Choose a dark denim midi skirt, preferably with a straight cut and a small front slit.
Pair it with a lightweight crew-neck sweater in pale pink, buttercream yellow, or gray.
On top, add a cropped cotton jacket in olive green or chocolate.
On the feet, mid-calf boots or loafers with socks.
Denim skirts are among spring’s most versatile garments because they work with shirts, knits, and tees.
Today, when paired with a thin sweater, they become a comfortable alternative to wearing pants.
NOA: trousers + white shirt + short cardigan
In Salta, temperatures will range from 9 to 17 degrees, with a predominantly cloudy sky and no rain expected for the city. However, other NOA areas, especially to the east, could record higher maximums.
What to wear today
Choose a fine-corduroy pant in camel, chocolate, or olive green.
Pair it with a white cotton shirt and add a short cardigan in light blue or dusty pink.
On your feet, leather loafers or low-ankle boots.
To update the outfit, try a small red or burgundy handbag.
Fine corduroy is a great ally for days when we still need warmth, but want to incorporate spring-like colors and combinations.
Patagonia: pants + turtleneck sweater + lightweight jacket
In Bariloche, Monday will start near 6 degrees, but the high could reach 18. The forecast indicates a variable sky and does not anticipate precipitation for the city.
What to wear today
Choose straight-cut gabardine pants, a lightweight thermal undershirt, and a turtleneck sweater.
Above, add a short padded jacket or windbreaker.
On the feet, low boots or closed sneakers.
To give it a spring touch, pair gray with pink, chocolate with light blue, or olive green with pale yellow.
The key is to take advantage of layering: in the morning you’ll need more warmth, but in the afternoon you can remove some garment.
3 style keys for this Monday
1. The barrel jean remains the protagonist
With volume in the legs and a tapered finish at the ankles, barrel jeans offer a silhouette different from the classic straight cut.
This spring it’s worn with masculine shirts, cropped jackets, and loafers.
The secret lies in balancing proportions: if the pants are voluminous, it’s best to choose more structured upper garments.
2. Tweed reinvents itself for spring
Tweed jackets are no longer reserved for formal occasions.
Pair them with jeans, tees, and flat shoes to give them a modern, relaxed vibe.
In cream, gray, or pastel tones, they are perfect for the cool October days.
3. The denim midi skirt replaces the classic jean
It’s one of the easiest options to refresh everyday looks.
With thin sweaters, shirts, or basic tees, the denim skirt works for both the office and casual outings.
And if the temperature drops, you can pair it with boots and a cropped jacket.
Accessories that lift any Monday look
This Monday’s stars are leather loafers, low boots, structured handbags, and slim belts.
To add color, choose accessories in burgundy, light blue, pink, or pale yellow.
A small scarf tied at the neck can also transform a white shirt or a basic sweater.
And if you’re after a detail that adds effortless elegance, gold earrings remain a safe bet.
Practical Monday tip: don’t be fooled by the calendar
We’re just a few days away from November, but the temperatures this Monday remind us that it’s still not time to pack away all the warm clothes.
In Buenos Aires, the low will be a mere 9 degrees, while Rosario, Córdoba, and Salta will also have chilly mornings.
Therefore, before you head out, think about how you’ll be dressed during the first hours of the day and which garments you can remove when the temperature rises.
The most practical formula is a light base layer + a fine-knit piece + a cropped jacket.
Additionally, the extended forecast foresees a gradual rise in temperatures over the coming days in Buenos Aires and Rosario, so it’s wise to keep mid-season pieces handy.
Because starting the week in style doesn’t mean wearing something new or following every trend: often, it’s enough to rearrange the pieces we already have and adapt them to the climate to feel comfortable all day.
