Whatever your plans are at this destination, you’ll need to consider the season you’re traveling in. Remember that the weather varies depending on the time of the year, so temperatures vary, sometimes you may even encounter rainfall. See our article on climate in Mendoza for more  details. For now, let’s see what clothes to wear to Mendoza according to the season . 

 HOW TO DRESS FOR A WINTER IN MENDOZA

If you are going to travel to Mendoza in winter, you need to know that the temperature is quite low, especially in mountain areas. That’s why the infallible ones in the suitcase are: T-shirts or long-sleeved T-shirts, some diver or sweater. It can also be a sports jacket, plus a thicker or coat.

On the other hand, long trousers (denim or any material deemed appropriate), are garments that cannot be missing either. The underwear is also important, especially if they are thermal. In the meantime, shoes with good soles –preferably trekking– are recommended to avoid spending the time falling around. The accessories aren’t over- and there’s no more. By contrast, hats, gloves and scarves may be the best allies to deal with the mendocino cold.

In case you are going to do some activity on the snow, do not forget to add the appropriate clothing: from T-shirts or thermal T-shirts, to trousers, jacket and waterproof footwear as comfortable and warm as possible. Polar or thermal necks can be an excellent choice to cover that part of your body, without worrying about losing your scarf. Waterproof gloves will also make you have a better experience in the snow.

Finally, we must recommend a swimsuit in case you are planning a nautical experience in Mendoza. Yes, it’s a rare activity in winter, but it’s possible to perform! It all depends on the traveler and their tastes!

CLOTHES FOR AUTUMN IN “THE CAPITAL OF WINE”

If autumn it’s your try, the task of preparing the suitcase is much easier. This season is quite pleasant and, although the temperature is not too low, we still advise you to bring a coat for mountain excursions or some particularly cold night. 

Generally speaking, it is practical to dress in the “onion style”, that is, with several layers of light clothing; including T-shirts or long-sleeved T-shirts, some coat and long pants. Also, the sun is quite intense and you will need to cover yourself with UV rays on some excursions. Depending on the intensity of the weather, you may or may not remove clothing. And, of course, don’t forget to carry a backpack with your sunscreen, dark lenses, hat or cap; especially if you are going to tour the vineyards where the sun hits most intensely at this time of year.

WHAT CLOTHES TO WEAR FOR A SPRING IN MENDOZA

Pay special attention to this station! The clothes we should wear for a spring in Mendoza change a lot from autumn and winter in this province. The heat starts to make its appearance and, therefore, looser and fresher garments are recommended.

Indeed, you should wear quite light clothing such as short sleeve shirts, some campera or light coat, shorts or bermudas. Light socks can also be very useful, while the hat becomes almost indispensable due to the intense sun of the time.

Nautical and adventure activities can already be carried out perfectly, so we also suggest wearing eye drops, swimsuit and comfortable clothes to play sports. On the other hand, it’s also ideal if you have waterproof garments. That way it isn’t necessary to include a backpack with towel and a change of clothes in case you get wet and require a change. You don’t want to spend the rest of the activity or the day uncomfortable by the water. Remember sunscreen and dark glasses.

SUMMER IN MENDOZA, WHAT CLOTHES TO WEAR?

The clothes needed for a summer in Mendoza are very similar to those of spring. You only have to include in your suitcase exactly the same as mentioned in the previous season, adding muscle and having sunscreen, sunglasses and hat or cap as main and indispensable accessories.

The heat is much stronger, so you’ll have to put a lot of emphasis on light clothing; increasing the need to protect yourself from the sun. If you plan mountain activities the shoe must have a non-slip sole and good grip. Insect and mosquito repellents will never be too much.
