Spring began on Monday, but you could say that this Thursday, September 24, it finally arrives in the closet. After a cold start to the week, the outlook changes completely across much of the country.
In Buenos Aires, the morning started gentler and in the afternoon the temperature will hover around 24 degrees. Rosario will range from 10 to 26/27 degrees, with no rain, while Córdoba will have a much warmer day, with records possibly surpassing 30. In Salta there will also be a wide temperature swing: from a cool morning to a late afternoon close to 30 degrees.
The plan for today is clear: dress for the afternoon heat and add only a light layer for going out early.
AMBA: white jeans + striped shirt + sneakers
With an afternoon around 24 degrees, today we can leave behind the fabrics we were wearing barely 48 hours ago.
What to wear today
Choose a white or off-white straight-cut jean and pair it with a light blue and white striped shirt.
You can wear underneath a basic tank top to open the shirt as the temperature rises.
On your feet, retro sneakers or loafers.
To head out early, add a light denim jacket that you can later wear draped over your shoulders.
Finish with sunglasses and a chocolate-brown handbag.
White jeans are one of the easiest ways to instantly change the mood of a look without having to shop a whole new wardrobe.
Litoral: shirt-dress + ballet flats
In Rosario, SMN forecasts a high of between 26 and 27 degrees, with partly cloudy skies, northerly winds and no rain.
Qué ponerte hoy
It’s a perfect day to revive the shirt dress.
Choose a midi cotton one in blue, olive green, chocolate, stripes, or some print.
Define the waist with a slim belt and add ballet flats or sneakers.
If you’re going out early, carry a thin cardigan in the bag.
In the afternoon you’ll probably not need it.
A styling tip: leave a few lower buttons open to give the dress more movement and create a less structured silhouette.
Centre: fluid trousers + tailored vest
Córdoba will have one of the warmest days of the week. Reports based on SMN place the high at roughly 30 to 34 degrees, with no precipitation expected.
What to wear today
Here we can dress almost as in summer.
Choose a wide-leg fluid pant in linen or cotton and add a tailored vest worn as a top.
Crude + chocolate, beige + black or gray + manteca yellow are perfect combinations.
On the feet, ballet flats, lightweight loafers or sneakers.
Add a soft leather handbag and oversized sunglasses.
It’s fresh, urban, and sufficiently elegant for a workday.
NOA: long skirt + tank top + closed-toe sandals
Salta will also experience a wide thermal swing. SMN reports released today place the minimum around 9/10 degrees and the maximum between 29 and 31, with no rain expected.
What to wear today
Choose a long, lightweight skirt and pair it with a cotton tank top.
For the early hours, add an open white or light blue shirt.
On the feet, you can start incorporating closed-toe sandals, ballet flats, or lightweight sneakers.
Here it’s fine to play with a brighter palette: white + chocolate, manteca (butter) + camel, pink + burgundy, or light blue + cream.
The shirt serves as outerwear during the morning and can be easily stored away later.
Patagonia: waterproof jacket + light layers + boots
Patagonia remains the exception.
SMN reported that cordilleran areas of northern Patagonia were under red alert for extreme rainfall overnight Wednesday and into Thursday morning, after several days of persistent precipitation.
In Bariloche, temperatures are expected to be around 5 to 10 degrees, with rain and drizzle at various times of the day.
What to wear today
Choose waterproof pants or thick denim, a thermal shirt, and a thin fleece.
On top, a waterproof parka with a hood.
On the feet, boots with a sturdy sole and warm socks.
If you’re in an area under weather alerts, the look takes a back seat: follow official guidance and avoid unnecessary travel.
3 style keys for this Thursday
1. White returns to the pants
After months dominated by dark denim, black, and chocolate, white, raw, and cream jeans return to change the look’s image.
And you don’t need to pair them with pastels: they look especially good with chocolate, burgundy, and navy.
2. The tailored vest can be worn as a top
It’s one of those garments that lets you keep some structure when it’s too hot to wear a blazer.
With wide-leg pants, it creates a simple yet sophisticated look.
3. Shirts become the third piece
This Thursday they practically replace the jacket in the center and north of the country.
White, light blue, striped, or linen shirts: wear them open over tanks and tees.
Accessories: today the first signs of summer appear
Sunglasses, raffia bags paired with leather, thin belts, large hoops, and small scarves begin to take the place of winter accessories.
And in regions where temperatures approach 30 degrees we can start wearing slightly more open footwear.
The key is not to transform the look into a fully summer one yet: one single piece is enough to mark the change of season.
Practical Thursday tip: dress for four in the afternoon
Today the temperature swing can be misleading.
In Rosario it goes from about 10 degrees to 26/27 and in Salta from around 9/10 to near 30.
That’s why you shouldn’t assemble the entire outfit thinking only of the moment you leave the house.
First choose what you’d wear for the maximum temperature and then add a layer for the morning: shirt, a light cardigan, or a denim jacket.
That layer should fit into your bag or be easily carried over the shoulders.
Because after a rather capricious spring start, this Thursday we can finally say it: in large parts of the country the day has arrived to start dressing for true spring.
