• Buenos Aires is cosmopolitan with some chic restaurants and people tend to dress more elegantly - smart, fitted clothing and smart shoes will help you feel at ease and fit in.
• If you don't want to scream 'tourist' then avoid wearing shorts around the city of Buenos Aires, no matter how hot it gets.
• The key is neat and sleek, and neutral colors are best.
• It can be cool in the evening so pack a pashmina or light sweater.
• Wednesdays are a popular after-office party time and dress is neat and smart.
• Outside of Buenos Aires, dress is casual; wear comfortable layers.
• Light wool is a good choice to wear against your skin as it naturally helps to regulate your body temperature. It keeps you warm in the cold, wicks away moisture when it's hot, and doesn't retain odours - even after prolonged wear.
• We like Thorlos hiking socks too - they have options designed to keep your feet dry and comfortable in all climates.
• Wear plenty of sunscreen (we love the Riemann P20 range for 10 hour protection), sunglasses and a sunhat.
• Be mindful of local sensibilities around the Falkland Islands, and don't wear anything overtly British such as sports team shirts.
