Argentina in Spring: What to Wear

Got a spring trip planned to Argentina? Argentina can be fun to visit in the spring, but you'll want to make sure you're dressed right. The weather is warm and dry, with temperatures averaging around 70°F (that's 21°C). So what should you wear so you can stay comfy and fit in with the local vibe?

To make the most of your trip to Argentina, a good rule of thumb is to pack comfortable clothing that you can layer. Loose-fitting clothing in breathable fabrics will keep you cool in warmer weather, while a light jacket or cardigan will come in handy for cooler days or evenings. And if you plan on doing any sightseeing, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Nothing like a nasty blister to ruin a good vacation, right?

In just a second, I'll share my specific recommendations for exactly what to wear in Argentina in spring—whether you're visiting Buenos Aires, exploring Tierra del Fuego, or visiting Iguazu Falls.

🔗 What should women wear in Argentina in spring?

Argentina in spring is generally warm, and there are a few key items you'll want to pack. Here's what I definitely wouldn't go without: linen trousers, lightweight comfortable shoes, shorts, pashmina, and denim jacket. With these essentials, you’ll be all set to experience everything Argentina has to offer.

🔗 Linen trousers

Linen trousers might just be the perfect staple for a warm-weather vacation. You already know they are made from a light, breathable fabric. Plus, they can be paired with a variety of tops to create both casual and dressy looks. When choosing linen trousers, it's important to look for a pair that fits well and complements your overall look. This will help you feel your best when exploring Argentina (and taking all those vacation photos).

These would be perfect:

🔗 Lightweight comfortable shoes

Traveling can be tough on your feet. You're constantly on the move, walking through airports and down crowded streets. And even if you're just sitting on a plane or in a car, your feet can start to swell after hours of being confined in one position. That's why it's important to pack comfortable, lightweight shoes that won't add too much weight to your luggage. But how do you know which shoes are right for Argentina? Look for ones made from breathable materials like mesh or canvas. They should also have good arch support and a cushioned sole to help reduce fatigue.

Here's a few ideas to get you started:

🔗 Shorts

Shorts are one of the most versatile and essential items in any travel wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion, and they're perfect for dealing with hot weather. Plus, they're easy to pack and don't take up much space in your suitcase. Just make sure to pack a few different colors and styles so you'll have something to wear for different occasions.

Don't have anything suitable? Grab one of these:

🔗 Pashmina

A pashmina is a must-have accessory for a trip to Argentina. They can be used as a scarf, sarong, blanket, or even a headscarf. They are light and easy to pack, yet they provide warmth and color to any outfit. Pashminas come in a variety of colors and patterns, so it's easy to find one that compliments your personal style. When choosing a pashmina, look for one that is made from natural fibers such as wool or cashmere. These fibers are not only more durable, but they will also breathe better and keep you covered without making you sweat.

Don't have anything suitable? Grab one of these:

🔗 Denim jacket

A denim jacket is great to have in Argentina. They are stylish and can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for any occasion. Denim jackets are also very versatile. They can be worn over a dress for a night out or with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual day exploring. Best of all, denim jackets are lightweight and easy to pack, making them ideal for travel. When choosing a denim jacket for Argentina, look for one that is comfortable and flattering. A classic denim jacket will never go out of style and can be worn year after year. For a more unique look, try a distressed denim jacket or one with embellishments such as embroidery or beads.

Here's a few ideas to get you started:

🔗 What should men wear in Argentina in spring?

For guys, here's the list of essentials I recommend you start with: chinos, light jacket, tank tops, shirts or tunics, and loafers or dress shoes. With these in your suitcase, I guarantee you will enjoy your trip to Argentina in comfort and style.

🔗 Chinos

Chinos are the perfect travel companion. They're comfortable, they don't wrinkle, and they go with everything. Plus, they can be dressed up or down, making them the perfect versatile piece for Argentina. You'll thank yourself when you have something reliable to wear on those long days of exploring. When choosing chinos, try to pick a neutral color like khaki or olive green. These colors will go with everything so you'll only need a pair or two.

If you're stuck for ideas, here are some of my favorites:

🔗 Light jacket

A light jacket is always a good idea to pack for Argentina, even if the weather is forecast to be warm. You never know when the weather will change or you'll end up in an air-conditioned place. They're also useful for protection from the sun and wind. And of course, it can get chilly in the evenings. But not all light jackets are created equal. For example, denim jackets are great for everyday wear but they're not always packable because they can be bulky. A better option is something like a nylon windbreaker which can be rolled up into a small bundle.

These options are both stylish and comfy:

🔗 Tank tops

Tank tops are just such a versatile item of clothing. They can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion, and they're perfect for hot weather. When packing tank tops for a trip to Argentina, it's important to choose ones that are comfortable and breathable. You'll also want to make sure they're easy to care for, so you can wash them easily while on the road. Plus it's a good idea to pack a few different colors and styles, so you have options to suit any occasion. With a few key tank tops in your suitcase, you'll be prepared for anything on your Argentina adventure.

Any of these should work:

🔗 Shirts or tunics

Shirts or tunics are one of the most versatile and easy-to-wear items you can pack for Argentina. They can be dressed up or down, and they work well in a variety of settings, from the beach to the city. When choosing shirts or tunics for your trip, look for ones that are made from lightweight fabrics such as linen or cotton. These fabrics will help keep you cool and comfortable in the warm weather.

These options are both stylish and comfy:

🔗 Loafers or dress shoes

While most people focus on packing their casual clothes and shoes for travel, it's important to remember to pack a pair or two of dressier shoes as well. Loafers and dress shoes can come in handy for a number of different occasions, from wedding receptions to nights out on the town. And while you might not want to spend a lot of money on shoes that you'll only be wearing occasionally, it's still worth investing in a good quality pair that will be comfortable and last for years to come.
