Introduction
In September, Berlin shifts into autumn. The weather begins to turn and get cooler, the temperature cooling and rain showers occurring some days though not all. Before you start your awesome journey through this thriving city, dressing appropriately for what the weather will throw at you is important. In this Berlin Adventure in September article we are going to help you make fashion choices that will keep you comfortable, stylish, and ready for your Berlin adventure.
Understanding Berlin’s Climate in September
Just a quick look at Berlin’s climate during this month before diving into what to wear. Usually in Berlin in September, it is mild, with highs of around 17°C (63°F) and lows of around 20°C (68°F). Nevertheless, cooler evenings and early mornings are the norm, from 10°C (50°F) downwards. It is also more rainy, so having some rainy options available to you in your wardrobe seem wise.
Layering is Key
Layering is the key to looking cute in Berlin’s September weather. The advantage of layering is that the temperature can fluctuate through the day and adapting by layering adds one more clothing option to your wardrobe that you can access as the climate changes. Begin with a light weight base layer that wick sweat away from the body. It can be a cotton or moisture wicking synthetic fabric t shirt or blouse.
After your base layer, put a long sleeve or light weight sweater. If it’s an afternoon in the mild, go for breathable materials like cotton or linen for your khakis. If the temperature goes up or if you wear it under a jacket or coat, they can be removed very easily.
A lightweight waterproof or windproof jacket in for versatility. If it rains, choose one that is easy to carry so that you can be compact. There, also think of taking a lightweight scarf, for more warmth or as a way to add a little extra something to your getup.
Choosing Bottoms
For pants (or skirts), the more comfortable, the better, and the more versatile, the better. Sharp suited trousers, or jeans, chinos are all a great outfit for a walk around the city. While you avoid wearing heavy fabrics or clothing which is too tight around the waist, this may feel uncomfortable with fluctuating temperatures.
If you’d rather wear skirts or dresses, bring along a couple of lightweight pieces that can be stacked under tights or leggings to stay warmer. Ankle boots or comfy flats for a chic and functional one look.
Footwear
To explore Berlin’s streets, places and attractions comfortably you will need some comfortable footwear. When rain or cooler temperatures result in foot ailments choose closed-toe shoes. The ideal thing there would be sneakers or stylish walking shoes. Also, for more polished look, you may also wear the ankle boots or loafers.
You need to pack a pair of shoes that have been broken in or packed shoes that are famous for their comfort. Whenever you explore the city you’re going to be doing a lot of walking, so watching after your feet is very important.
Accessories and Final Touches
To complete your autumn look and prepare for Berlin’s September weather, consider the following accessories:
Headwear:
If it’s likely to be rainy or sunny have a small hat or cap that you can bring to protect your head from the rain or sun. Your outfit does not need to be dull as a hat can also give a classy look to your outfit.
Gloves:
During September Berlin may still have cooler mornings and evenings. Just pack up a pair of lightweight gloves to keep your hands warm during these times.
Sunglasses:
Don’t forget your sunglasses! A style statement and help for your eyes, a stylish pair of shades can still be worn in September.
Umbrella:
Being out in September increases our chance of rain so we want to carry a compact umbrella. If you don’t have a bag or backpack, look for an umbrella that is foldable or collapsible enough to fit in something larger.
