What to wear in November
Late-autumn transition. It turns cold — a coat comes out, warmed by knits.
November crosses from late autumn into early winter. The first real cold arrives and a coat becomes necessary; late in the month, the first snow may be announced. It's time to start prepping for winter.
Add warmth with a knit under a coat or light puffer. It's not deep-winter thick yet, but starting to warm your neck with a thin muffler lifts how warm you feel. The wide day–night gap makes layering useful.
Seoul averages 3°C at night and 14°C by day. Three in the morning is already winter and fourteen in the afternoon is still autumn, and one coat has to cover both. Adjust with what goes underneath rather than the coat itself.

What to wear in November, women and men
For women in November, the month moves from coat to puffer between its first and last weeks. For men the arc is identical: step the knit up in thickness and change the outer one level at a time, and the shift into winter stays comfortable.
