Clothes for October
Short answer: October is the heart of autumn, with rain, wind, leaves and early darkness. Stay dry and warm with layers, change into dry clothes after wet days and remember that the clocks go back at the end of the month.
October means wind, rain and colour
In Denmark October is often a month of changing weather, with both clear and grey days and wind that can pick up. The leaves change colour, and many people head into the forest to enjoy autumn. At the same time it becomes clear that the days are shorter and darkness falls earlier. That means your clothes need to cope with a cool morning, a wet afternoon and a dark evening.
See the range in one place
If you want an overview of what is available, you can look at JBS, where the clothes are gathered in one place and you can compare different types. Consider which layers are missing before you choose, and remember that the clothes should combine with what you already have. A simple plan makes it easier to get through autumn without searching for something every morning.
The polo when it is not quite winter yet
In October a polo can be a good middle layer under a jacket or a jumper, especially on days when it is mild indoors. See bamboo polos for men. It gives a tidy look, and the collar keeps a little extra warmth around the neck. Choose a fit that is not too tight across the shoulders and stomach, and change it when you have sweated. It can also be worn alone if you are out on a sunny autumn day.
Underwear as the foundation of your layers
When you put on more layers, underwear becomes important, because it sits closest to the skin and has to be comfortable all day. See bamboo underwear for men. Choose something that does not pinch or chafe and does not bunch up under your trousers. Change it every day and wash at 30 to 40 degrees. If you have been out in the rain, it is pleasant to change into dry underwear as soon as you get home.
Habits that make October easier
When the clocks go back at the end of October, it gets dark earlier, and that can affect your mood. Take a walk in daylight when you can and keep moving outdoors. Hang wet clothes up to dry and air the home every day so that moisture does not gather indoors. Keep an umbrella and a jacket that copes with rain, and an extra pair of socks in your bag. Then you are ready however the weather develops.
