Dress codes
In general the
Spanish have a
very modern
outlook on
clothing. They
are keen on
designer
clothes but
quality is
more important
than a
designer name.
Spanish made
clothes tend
to be high
quality and
reasonably
priced.
Teenage girls
tend to wear
trousers more
than skirts.
Denim is
definitely
'in'. Teenage
boys are keen
on designer
wear and
appearance is
important to
them. Mature
Spaniards
dress
conservatively
and with
style. Older
men in
particular
tend to wear
high quality
clothing.
It is unclear
what the
Spanish think
of scantily
clad
holiday-makers
but it is not acceptable in
small
villages, away
from the
coast. One
should be
particularly
careful of
dress code if
entering
churches.
Swim-wear and
short skirts
are frowned
upon.
When visiting cities especially you may not want to look like a tourist. Dress conservatively.
Girls who wear mini-skirts and bikini tops will be frowned upon and will certainly attract unwanted attention. Long dresses or skirts are fine, as are trousers.
