Since fashion is such a crucial part of my life, it is always a little difficult to plan my outfits for a trip to Barcelona in late October. The weather during this time of year can only be described as, uppity or cool, rainy with occasional showers, and some times even warm or hot. To ensure you’re comfortable and stylish during your visit, here are some tips on what to wear in Barcelona in late October:

1. Lightweight Layers

Since the weather changes a number of times during the day it is better to dress in layers. Choose clothes, which can be put on or taken off easily to regulate the body temperatures. Next is a thin top such as a t-shirt or blouse followed by a thin pullover or over the other type of light sweater. This way, you do not have to wear something that makes you feel too warm or too cold depending with the time of the day.

2. Jacket or Coat

October is already the autumn that is why it is also better to take a jacket or coat with you. Select a timeless piece that could be matched with other clothes pieces. This time of year it is suggested to wear a light trench coat or a stylish leather jacket. They will offer a second layer of insulation and give you a shield against the occasional cold gust of wind.

3. Comfortable Shoes

To get to know the city is usually to walk a lot, so it is better to have comfortable shoes with you. Choose shoes with enclosed toes such as sneakers or flat shoes for your feet safety and comfort. Don’t choose high heels or uncomfortable sandals, you will limit yourself when it comes to walking around the city streets and visiting sights.

4. Jeans or Trousers

Jeans or trousers are admissible apparels for late October in Barcelona. They are simple and stylish and can complement any type of top and other item of clothing which you might want to add over the outfit. Choose the darker colorations to obscure any blotch or dust from the city experiences you come across. Further, their suitability for play may be affected by the climatic conditions you plan for, and their durability by the weather in that climate — may need water resistant or quick-drying materials in case of rain.

5. Scarves and Accessories

Selecting a good accessory can both help you enhance your appearance and bring added utility to your garments. It might also be a good idea to pack a small light weight scarf to brighten up an outfit as well as keep warm. You should also pack a small umbrella, or a hat to shield you from either the rain or the sun, and you’ll need a crossbody bag that allows you to keep your items safe as you tour the town.

6. Check the Weather Forecast

You have to check several days forecast for Barcelona during the last days of October because the weather can be quite different from one day to another. Shooting a quick text or two will give you a clearer idea of the sort of weather you are to anticipate during your stay and therefore you should choose your wardrobe appropriately. Still, weather can still turn out unexpected, so some fluctuations should be kept in mind, and it is better to pack both warmer and lighter clothing.

7. Stay Ready for Indoor Heating

Although there are some chances that you may find the climate cooler in Barcelona many a restaurants, cafes and museum you is likely to encounter with hea equipped. I have seen it be prudent to dress in layers of clothing that can be either added or removed depending on which between the two arenas one is transacting business in at any given time.
