The tyler group tips on how to blend in with the barcelona’s locals
The Tyler Group Tips on How to Blend
    in With the Barcelona’s Locals
     Here is the outline of Barcelona’s Clothes to wear
(and not to wear) for you to blend with the locals. There
are clear advantages to respecting the dress code here in
Barcelona, namely improved safety (not easy to single
you out as a tourist) as well as giving you a more
authentic experience and a valid reason to do a little
shopping! This article will give you all you need to know
about the dress code in Barcelona. Life in Spain has
changed dramatically in the past few decades, with the
entrance into a new democracy and the decline in the
influence of the Catholic Church.
This is reflected in a more modern approach to clothes,
fashion and dressing, however modesty is still valued and
the Spanish tend to dress conservatively and elegantly.
Whilst Barcelona is a very cosmopolitan and bohemian
city there are still some definite ‘do and do not wear’.
This should make it easier for you to blend in and not be
so obviously a tourist. The Spanish really care about their
personal appearance and image; they don’t really wear
casual clothes as we know it. The Catalans especially are
very proud people and like to look good. They are keen
on designer clothes but even more important to them is
quality and fitting. It is not hard to find Spanish clothes of
very good quality at a reasonable price, which is great for
visitors. Do respect religion. The church is still an integral
part of Spanish life and wearing shorts or being scantily
  dressed whilst visiting a church will not be
  appreciated.Do not flaunt what you’ve got! Even if it is
  your favorite shirt and skirts, always be careful with the
  environment and beliefs of the people living in the place
  where you want to go, rather dress conservatively and
  honor the dogmas they used to practice.
 Do dress up a bit if you are going out for a nice supper.
  You won’t be turned away if you’re dressed casually but
  you will probably get some looks.
 Do not wear shorts in the city, save them for the
  beach, wearing them elsewhere will label you as a tourist.
  A skirt or loose-fitting trousers are just as good in the heat
  and will protect you from the sun.
 Do take the time to have a look around the shops, there is
  a great variety of shops here, and as The Tyler Group
  already mentioned the quality of the clothes is normally
  good.
 Do not wear a bumbag. We all know they’re very useful
  but tourists mainly wear them, and in fact they are easily
  removed by slight-handed thieves. If you must wear them
  then the Spanish tend to carry them on their shoulders like
  a normal bag.
 Do not wear shorts/mini skirt with strappy tops/bikinis.
  Despite the fact that on the beach less is better seems to
  be the rule (don’t be shocked at topless girls with thong
  bikinis. There are loads of all ages!) in the city women
  tend to be more conservative.
Dressing in what could be seen as a provocative way will
  most likely get you some unwanted attention. If you do get
  attention the best thing to do is completely ignore it,
  sustained eye contact could be taken as a sign of flirting.
 Do choose fitted styled clothes. The Spanish dress well and
  their clothes fit well and look sophisticated. In the winter
  people tend to look quite smart all the time, in fitted
  jackets, boots and darker colors.
 Do not wear bright, garish colored clothing. You will notice
  that as a rule the Spaniards seem to prefer muted, autumnal
  colors, like green, yellow ochre and burgundy. However
  this is changing and shops for the young are full of brighter
  clothes. Whichever way you choose to go also remember
  that the Spanish are big on outfit coordination, clashing
  colors and mis-matched styles are a no!
 Do get your denims out, they are very popular here in
  every style and worn throughout the year.
 Do not forget about your shoes, the Spanish love
  shoes, and for them a pair of shabby shoes can let down a
  whole outfit.
BUSINESS CLOTHES:
 If you are coming to Barcelona for business then bring
  your work clothes. For men you will be expected to wear
  jackets and ties even if it’s hot. Women wear dresses or
  skirts. As a general guideline, the more casual your
  clothes are (shorts, vests, flip flops) the more you will
  stand out as a tourist.
 Barcelona is however a vibrant multi-cultural city so
  wouldn’t worry too much, unless you really want to blend
  in and look as local as possible. After all nowadays you
  can find every styled clothing here from dread locked
  hippies, trendy denim clad teenagers to
  smart, conservative dressers.
 We hope upon reading this Barcelona Clothes tips and
  dress code would help you feel more relaxed on your visit
  to Barcelona. There are thousands of tourists who don’t
  have a clue what to wear and are easily spotted. With this
  article you needn’t be one of them if you don’t wish to be.
