Light to medium jackets and sweaters for daytime (highs around 15–17°C / 59–63°F).
-
Long-sleeve shirts and pants for layering.
-
A warmer coat or jacket for evenings and windy days (nights can drop to 7–8°C / 45–46°F).
-
Scarves, hats, and gloves if you’re sensitive to cooler temperatures.
-
Comfortable walking shoes; waterproof shoes can be useful if it rains.
Accessories #

Umbrella or lightweight raincoat — winter can bring occasional showers.
-
Sunglasses — sunny winter days are common.
-
Daypack for carrying layers and personal items while exploring.
Evening & Nightlife #
-
Smart casual outfits if you plan to visit theaters, tango shows, or upscale restaurants.
-
Closed-toe shoes for indoor venues and cobblestone streets.
Health & Safety Items #

-
Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated indoors and outdoors.
Tech & Travel Essentials #
-
Power adapter for Argentina’s 220V plugs (Type C or I).
-
Phone, charger, power bank, and camera for sightseeing.

Copies of passport, tickets, and hotel confirmations.
Winter in Buenos Aires is mild compared to many Northern Hemisphere cities, but layering is key, especially for evenings and windy riverfront areas.
