Clothes for each Season & each Month
We provide information on appropriate clothes for each season and clothes for each month (Monthly Recommended Clothes).
Clothes for each Season
It is important to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and protected during all weathers. This article will help you understand the four seasons in Berlin and the appropriate clothes to wear. The winter season can reach 30°F with temperature dropping below freezing, in summer the temperature can go as high as 75°F in Berlin. The month of July and August are the hottest, January and February are the coldest.
Winter
In winter, Berlin fascinates many people. Visitors can see all the museums and sights without the long lines and crowds. Visiting in December enables one to enjoy the Christmas markets. Winter implies fewer tourists and shorter lines at museums. Nonetheless, it is very cold in Berlin during winter, but it gets sunny sometimes. The city also experiences rain, icy blizzards, muddy days, cold wind, and snow.
Due to very low temperatures, ensure you bring a heavy coat to keep warm. One can have a variety of coats to choose from, but the best is one that is affordable, water repellant, and warm. A long woolen coat can serve you well. Ensure you choose a neutral color that matches your accessories, shoes, and pants.
Since the wind can be icy cold at the time, ensure you cover your thighs by wearing thermal underwear under your travel pants or jeans or a long coat. It is warm inside shops, museums, cafes, and malls. Thus, you can wear something light under the coat so you can be comfortable if you remove the coat. You can also try long winter boots and a wool dress with tights to stay stylish.
Spring
Berlin is a beautiful city during spring: The flowers and trees are blossoming, everything becomes lush green, and the birds begin to sing. If you visit Berlin during spring, remember that the season begins with too much cold, and you need to prepare for winter-like weather. The cold ends around April, and warm and sunny days come. You may also expect a lot of rain. Between mid-May and June, Berlin is mostly warm and sunny.
You can wear appropriate clothes including layers during spring. The outer layer should be waterproof, and you need an inner layer that will help when you take off the outer layer on sunny and warm a days. Women in Berlin love wearing a cardigan underneath a black leather jacket. You need an umbrella because it may rain. However, the umbrella should be small enough to carry in a bag. You also need a light scarf and sunglasses in case there is too much sunlight. You may wear lightweight pants with sneakers or ankle boots. Skinny jeans are good too. Wear comfortable shoes because you are likely to walk a lot.
Summer
In Berlin, summers are humid and hot. During holidays and weekends, people leave the city and visit the lakes to cool down. Sightseeing is common in the evening or late afternoon when it is not very hot. You can wear your favorite summer dress during this season. Wear anything that will keep you cool. Maxi dresses are becoming popular because they are elegant and comfortable. You may also dress in a mini skirt, denim shorts and a tank top or a shirt. Colors do not matter, but ensure you look fashionable.
Wear sandals or comfortable flat shoes. You can also wear flip-flops, but women in Berlin prefer comfortable sandals. In case you go out at night, wear a summer evening dress and do not wear high heels because of cobblestone streets. A beach towel and bikini are essential for swimming in the lakes.
Fall
This season comes after the summer. You can enjoy the last warm days of the summer until the windy season begins and leaves start to change color. You expect warm days in September and chilly days as October ends. November is very cold and may experience cold winds and occasional rain.
You can wear long boots, skinny jeans, warm jackets, and big scarves during fall. In September, a blazer and a denim jacket are fine. If you visit in November and October, ensure you have a warmer jacket. Hooded jackets are fashionable because they keep the head warm when it rains or the winds are strong. A short trench coat with a warm sweater underneath it will help you keep warm.
In Berlin, women love to wear long boots in fall. Ensure these are waterproof because it may rain any time. You can also wear leather boots, which go well with skinny jeans.
