TL;DR

The reports suggest dressing for the day's weather: in late September, one traveller alternated between a T-shirt, sweater and insulated vest, while an October recommendation was to buy an inexpensive fleece and trousers locally if needed. For rain, raincoats from local shops or Decathlon were suggested; one traveller felt an umbrella could be awkward in Istanbul's wind.
