The full size fenders also keep crap off your drive train and theoretically help everything last a lot longer. If you can find esge chromoplast full fenders and they fit, they are a nice, cheap option that look good.
The seatpost fender is another good one for bikes that don't have eyelets/clearance. Only takes about 20 seconds to install/remove.
And yes, wool or cashmere socks if the feet are going to get wet!
