Style Guide for Changing Weather: What to Wear When Autumn Turns to Winter
October is the in-between month. The rain has gone, afternoons still feel warm, and by evening there is a slight chill in the air. That makes getting dressed tricky. This guide keeps it simple for you: what to wear, which pieces to buy, and answers to the questions we hear most.
How do I layer for changing weather without overheating?
Wear one light jacket over a comfortable base and take it off when the day warms up. A lightweight sweatshirt for men packs small, so it rides in your bag in the afternoon and comes out in the evening. If you prefer something with a cap, you can also look for hoodies that do the job equally well.
Tip: if you don’t feel too cold in the evenings, add a shacket to your outfit rather than choosing one heavy jacket. Layers you can remove beat one thick layer you are stuck with.
Which boots or shoes work best when the weather keeps changing?
Closed boots are the safest choice once the weather turns cold, and they look good with almost everything. Whether it is field day or casual workday, boots are easily the go-to option keeping comfort and style hand-hand-hand.
For days when you want something lighter, go for sneakers for men or a casual lace-up such as the Black Nubuk Casual Lace Shoes. They move easily from work to the weekend. For women, the Black Casual Shoes for Ladies are an easy everyday pair.
Care tip: Any leather footwear works best with a waterproofing spray applied before the damp days, and a soft brush after. Let them air dry before storing in a dust bag.
What kind of bottomwear is best?
Choose relaxed, comfortable bottoms with pockets so you can dress up or down. For women, the Denim Blue Wide-leg Culottes are cotton-linen blend, with a relaxed fit, pockets and an elastic drawstring waist. They pair easily with a tee, sweatshirt or jacket. For a neater, semi-formal look, our chinos for men are an easy option. Camel and navy are the timeless color favourites you can add to your outfit rotation.
Which bag to use when weather is unpredictable?
Pick a spacious bag with a structured shape and plenty of pockets, so a rolled-up jacket, a water bottle and your essentials fit for everyday commute. For travel and weekend trips, you can go for 40L and 45L options in our travel and hiking backpacks. They are made with polyester and are highly durable and versatile to be actively used in all your adventure trips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What should I wear in changing weather?
Wear light layers you can add or remove: a base tee or shirt, an overshirt or hoodie if needed, and a packable jacket. Pair with comfortable trousers and closed shoes or boots. This setup works for warm afternoons and cold evenings without carrying extra clothing.
Q2. Are leather shoes suitable for changing weather?
Yes, if cared for properly. Apply a waterproofing spray to leather or nubuck before damp days to protect against water stains and moisture damage, and let wet shoes dry naturally away from direct heat.
Q3. Are boots too heavy for the in-between season?
Not really. Casual boots in camel, olive or navy are comfortable for all-day wear and cope better with cold mornings and damp pavements than open shoes. Choose a lighter lace-up or sneaker if your day is mostly warm.
Q4. Can women wear cargo pants for changing weather?
Yes. Relaxed cotton cargo pants are comfortable through the day, have useful pockets, and pair with tees, sweatshirts or jackets. A drawstring or elastic waist helps you get a comfortable fit.
