What to wear in Munich in November?

Question

I will be travelling to Munich from Nov 13th to 17th for a business convention/ exhibition. Need advise on what to wear to keep warm, is not too bulky, and more importantly still look professional and smart for business meetings.

I understand it is around 5 degrees now, and I can't imagine how cold that feels and how much clothes I should wear to keep warm, as I lived in Asia. I will most likely be wearing a suit. Is that enough to keep out the cold, or do I have to bring a trench coat?

Thanks.

Answer 3

I was just going to suggest a trench coat, my advice to you is to bring one just incase. It took me a while to reliase you were male, you know. The question was a bit blurry, so I didn't know what to suggest. Anyways, good luck in Munich x

Answer 4

Wear 3 layers under your coat.  Sounds strange, but a thermal vest under a thin top and then a stylish jumper over a knee length or long skirt and smart boots.  Finish off with a long swede coat and glam but warm scarf and leather gloves.  It's the four layers that will keep you warm without too much bulk.

Answer 5

I suggest that you invest in some really warm clothes and if possible thermal underwear.  Jumpers and anything rain and windproof would be helpful too.  Don´t forget to get sensible shoes too nothing to flimsy that can get ruined by rain.

Here speaks the voice of experience I was born over there and lived there for many years.

Answer 6

I second the layers. Here in Manchester (similar conditions I would think) I wear a vest or thermal vest under a shirt, then have a jacket or cardigan over the top, followed by a wool blend coat (actually, my favourite overcoat is made of llama wool. It rocks!) I also recommend a hat, scarf and gloves, and tights if you're not wearing trousers.

Answer 10

Take warm clothing, it can get pretty cold suddenly because of the wind from the Alps. And snow can happen now anytime.
