Big glasses are nice. The temperature also can drastically change how you dress. If it’s warm you may be fine just in your normal jersey and bibs. The thinner the material the better so it doesn’t get water logged. But if its going to be cooler then a good breathable but wind/waterproof jacket or vest can make a big difference.
But in terms of riding, I don’t think it makes as big of a difference as most people think. Unless you are already riding at the limits of grip, a good tire can handle wet roads pretty well. Just avoid paint when leaned over in a turn as it is almost always much more slippery than the asphalt. And be smooth. Gradually lean into turns, ease onto your brakes, and get your braking done before the turn (don’t be on the brakes and turning). In the wet you just need to flow a little bit more and you can’t be as aggressive as you can in the dry on the brakes and corner entry.
