It is helpful to have several layers of clothing that you can put on or take off according to the changes in the weather. You will certainly need a warm coat for the winter as well as gloves, scarf and a hat.
An umbrella is also an essential item! You can buy warm clothing at reasonable prices locally so do not feel you have to use all your luggage allowance on this.
