Destination: Barcelona

Individualistic style abounds in a city known for its textiles

The Vibe

Home to many popular designers and even some global brands (hola, Mango!), Barcelona is a playground for the fashion-forward. The city features several fashion districts and hosts major fashion events each year, so chic locals and visitors come dressed to impress — be it in upscale designer duds or of-the-moment trends. With its rich history of textile production and export, high-quality fabrics with interesting textures and patterns are to be expected on the streets of Barcelona. As with any large city, there is no one specific style that needs to be adhered to, but style itself is hugely important.

What To Pack

Barcelona has mild winters (average daily ranges between 50-60°F) and warm summers without significant fluctuations in temperature from day to night. A fringed jacket or sweater vest will get you through cooler temps. Mary Janes and sneakers. A bright silk or satin skirt. Wide legged trousers with a crisp button-down.
