You would look pretty silly. Wide-mouth reusable coffee cup with sealable lid — Can be used for coffee, coca leaf tea, or also as a to-go container in a pinch for soup, fruit, snacks, etc. Skinny belt — This one from Nudie is the perfect size for me because the last hole lets me use it for my jeans, and the first hole lets me wrap it around my waist over a cardigan.
City-style tennis shoes — Veja is the best eco tennis shoe brand, hands down. When we were there, it downpoured for so long that the streets had creeks running down them! And then I can wear it out to drinks. O My Bag has a ton to choose from.
The summer months in Buenos Aires last from December to February, this time of year can feel overbearingly hot and humid at times due to the lack of breeze. Clothing for summer needs to be lightweight and breathable, stick to fabrics such as cotton, rayon and linen that absorb perspiration and allow your body heat to escape. Shorts are no very popular and you will hardly see anyone wearing them in the city. Opt for a variety of pretty printed summer dresses and skirts, but make sure not to wear them too short, people still dress very classy, even in the summer months.
The favorable shoes in summer are sandals and flats; you will not really find anyone wearing flip flops — sandals are more fashionable, accessorize your outfits with your favorite sunnies, a wide brimmed hat and plenty of sunscreen! Katy Says: Autumn is when it starts to get colder and more days are cloudy and rainy. Expect it to rain every three or four days. The weather seems to really stick to a cycle—sunny one day, cloudy the next, and rainy on the third.
The autumn season runs from March to May, the weather starts to drop cool and rain can be quite frequent so be sure to pack a strong, portable umbrella. Shoe-wise, think comfortable ankle boots or knee highs, people also love to wear the latest trend in athletic shoes, accessorize your fall garments with a stylish oversize scarf and felt fedora hat.
It is much like autumn, but it can get extremely cold and wet. It can get really cold during the winter, so clothing is warm — layering is a must!
Accessorize with cute winter favorites such as a pair of leather gloves and a printed scarf — scarves are very fashionable during the winter months; they keep you warm while adding a little layer of pop fashion to your winter clothes. The heart of Buenos Aires lies in the diverse and distinctive barrios neighborhoods — from the cool boutiques of Palermo to the colorful sights of La Boca.

I am glad I read this blog post. I just assumed everyone would look like they do on South Beach in Miami.
I guess I was mistaken. Skinny jeans and leggings with flats—no heels? Scarfs and pashminas? No high heels and no wedge sandals? No shorts? No skin showing?

Comfortable open toed shoes, sandals, no Crocs though mostly doctors wear them! Plan on walking a lot here as it is a very walking friendly city.

Chances are you are going to see a tango show at some point during your travels in Argentina. There are tons of tango shows in Buenos Aires and business casual is the general dress code. However, the tango shows understand that many people especially backpackers and adventure travelers will not have blazers and heels on call.
You will not be alone if you cannot put together an elegant outfit — I have seen plenty of people in jeans and t-shirts at fancy tango shows. Tango style dresses, fedoras and the sort can be worn at milongas , but you will need to research which milonga as they vary in audience and vibe greatly! Mountain wear: Yes, there are plenty of parks here in Buenos Aires, but none will require hiking boots or cargo pants.
I realize that brands like North Face and Colombia make some decent looking and comfy clothing, but those garments will only brand you as a tourist. Do you really need all nine of those pockets anyway? Football wear : This can be a touchy subject for some very dedicated fans in Argentina. Avoid any English national team or English jerseys. Argentina national team jerseys are the most acceptable to wear around town.
