Catalan Style in Barcelona

Barcelona is considered to be a relatively modern fashion capital, its contemporary style rivaling that of the neighboring Paris and Milan.
When planning your holiday wardrobe, take inspiration from Gaudi's Catalan style by combining architectural lines with a neutral palette.  Be sure to include some embellished sandals, their jewel tones will compliment the beautiful mosaics of Gaudi's Park Güell!

There's no better place to find authentic Spanish style than in the high-street shops Mango and Zara which are native to Spain.  Loose fitting chiffon blouses are always chic, the cross-over detailing of this Zara top keeps it modern and the light material will also keep you cool while exploring Las Ramblas!

TIP: Keeping it capsule- If you're packing lightly then it's essential to take clothing which is versatile. For example, a white cotton shirt will go with almost anything, wear it with tailored shorts for a chic city look or dress it up with a patterned skirt.  Stick to a palette of neutral tones and you'll fit right in with those stylish Catalonians.
