the fashion

BARCELONA, where anything goes...

the girls:
  • scarves can be worn any day of the year and it's normal. in fact, if you don't wear a scarf at some point in time that you are here, you are definitely foreign
  • they can wear silk pants with the crotch hanging down to their knees and it's normal (this is not attractive whatsoever)
  • crazy multi-colored sneakers
  • tights in june 
  • flip flops in november are a no-no. even if it's 25 degrees
  • no matter what the economy is like, the shoe stores are always packed
  • even with a 30% discount, a pair of simple flip flops can still be 85 euro 
  • high, high heels 
  • nobody straightens their hair everyday
  • winter = black and gray
  • much more conservative than Americans
the boys:
  • expensive sunglasses
  • tight pants
  • cigarettes like they are accessories
  • no flip flops ever
  • suits and ties are worn to school on a normal basis, and they don't get weird looks (this may be because i am at a private school?)
  • scarves are also a must for men
  • dreads are very very common
  • pants are worn at a normal waist/hip level, no sagging!
  • a white stud piercing under their bottom lip on the side (so ugly)
  • preppy is not looked down upon
  • they wear more pink and purple than the girls
