We are a week away from spring, but this Monday, September 14, it’s still not the moment to step out of the house as if winter had ended.
After a cold weekend, temperatures are slowly starting to recover in large parts of the country’s central region.
In Buenos Aires, the morning began cool, with temperatures around 10°C, and the maximum will be around 15–16°C. No rainy day is expected, and there will be moments of sun.
In Rosario, a recovery also begins: after a very cold Sunday, this Monday the temperature will move roughly between 6 and 16°C, with partly cloudy skies and no rain forecast.
The day’s challenge, then, remains the temperature swing.
And since it’s Monday, we’re looking for outfits that are easy, comfortable, and neatly put together enough to get back into routine without spending twenty minutes in front of the closet.
AMBA: carrot pants + shirt + tweed jacket
For Buenos Aires today we’ll need outerwear in the morning, but we can start stepping away from the big winter coat.
What to wear today
Choose a carrot pants in black, gray, or chocolate and pair them with a light blue or white shirt.
On top, add a short tweed or bouclé jacket.
It’s a perfect alternative to the traditional blazer: it has structure, keeps you warm, and elevates two basics into a much more interesting look.
On your feet, loafers with thin socks or low-heeled ankle boots.
Finish with a large handbag and sunglasses.
If in the afternoon the temperature rises, the jacket can stay open and the shirt becomes the focal point.
Litoral: blue jeans + striped polo + corduroy overshirt
Rosario starts the week with a chilly morning, but the thermometer will recover, and no rainfall is expected.
What to wear today
Choose a relaxed-fit blue jean and combine it with a long-sleeve striped polo.
On top, add a camel, burgundy, or olive‑green corduroy overshirt.
Corduroy still has a place in September when it appears in a single piece and is mixed with lighter elements.
Finish with retro sneakers and a crossbody bag.
It’s comfortable, has a bit of a collegiate vibe, and works very well for a Monday with a long schedule.
Centro: tapered pants + t-shirt + tailored waistcoat
In Córdoba, temperature is also recovering after the weekend drop. In different areas of the province, highs are returning toward 19°C.
What to wear today
Try a combination that clearly hints at spring: tapered pants + a basic tee + a tailored waistcoat.
Choose the pants in beige, gray, or navy blue and add a white tee.
On top, a slightly roomy tailored waistcoat.
For early departures, bring a trench coat that you can store later.
On your feet, minimalist sneakers or loafers.
The tailored waistcoat has a big advantage for transitional weather: it preserves some office structure without adding too much warmth.
NOA: denim skirt + shirt + ankle boots
In the north, where afternoons can be considerably warmer than the early hours, we can incorporate lighter garments.
What to wear today
Revive a denim midi skirt and pair it with a white or light blue shirt.
For the morning, add a fine-knit crewneck.
On your feet, choose ankle boots or loafers.
When the temperature rises, stash the knit and let the shirt take the lead.
To give it a fresh-season gesture, add a leather belt and a bag in red, butter-yellow, or light blue.
Patagonia: cargo pants + wool + padded jacket
Patagonia continues to require warmth, although some cities will have much milder conditions today than in recent days.
San Martín de los Andes, for instance, will see a low near 0°C and a high around 13°C, with no precipitation expected.
What to wear today
Choose a thick cargo pants, a base layer, and a wool sweater.
On top, add a mid-weight padded jacket.
On your feet, boots or urban trekking sneakers with a solid sole.
Add thick socks and a lightweight wool scarf.
The palette can start to brighten: gray + off-white + olive green works perfectly for this transition.
3 style tips for this Monday
1. The tweed jacket comes back to complete the look
It doesn’t have to be reserved for formal outfits. Paired with simple trousers, denim, or a white tee, it becomes much more relaxed.
Plus, it has just the right heft for days when a full coat is too much, but going out in just a shirt still isn’t enough.
2. The tailored waistcoat enters its prime moment
We’ll see it a lot this spring, and September is perfect to start wearing it.
Now it works over a tee or shirt; when the heat arrives, it can be worn directly on the skin.
3. Midi skirts return to the routine
In denim, gabardine, or thick cotton, they are an excellent alternative to ease off the pants we’ve been wearing all winter.
Accessories for this Monday
Today, accessories can make a look that’s still wintry start to feel springlike.
Try colorful handbags, statement belts, sunglasses, loafers, and small scarves.
If the outfit is built around gray, beige, navy, or chocolate, add a single color pop: cherry red, butter-yellow, light blue, or olive green.
That small touch can refresh pieces you’ve been wearing since June.
Practical Monday tip
Today apply the intermediate coat rule.
Before you head out, ask yourself if you really need the heavy winter coat.
With maximum temperatures beginning to rise in different parts of the country, a tweed jacket, overshirt, padded jacket, or trench often works better.
The goal is to arrive warm in the morning without lugging a heavy coat around all afternoon.
And one more detail to keep in mind: this week temperatures are expected to rise in Buenos Aires. By Thursday and Friday they could exceed 20°C.
So this Monday we still dress for the cold, but the spring wardrobe is definitely beginning to take over.
