Have you ever wondered why the Spanish always look so good? More than just their beautiful Mediterranean looks, they exude an effortless elegance and sex appeal that you can't just turn away from. And more often than not, it has something to do with their style. Spain is, after all, one of the most fashionable countries in the world. From designer brands to high street labels, their fashions have captivated the whole world. And, of course, their style continues to influence so many people too! If you want to look like a Spanish style star, here are some staples you need to have in your wardrobe.
Lovely in Leather
Although leather is more associated with
London's punk look and American gangster style, the Spanish sure do love them! A nice leather jacket completes a vintage look that many Europeans love sporting, especially when the weather is cold. With this staple, they're able to stay warm and toasty while exuding an edginess that's oh-so-alluring. Women who work in Spain tend to favor leather pencil skirts to wear at the office too—spicing up a corporate look with a hint of sexiness!

A Comfy Button-Down
A nice button-down is a must for any wardrobe regardless of where you are. It's a
style staple in Paris, a classic American garment and even the Italians have put their own spin on it as well. Of course, not to be left behind in the fashion world, the Spanish also love sporting a nice button-down. Its comfiness and ease pairs well with the hot Mediterranean weather in the country. Whether in cotton, linen or even at times, in silk, a button-down is a must for any Spanish fashionista!

Perfect Pair of Jeans
Speaking of classics, is there are a more classic wardrobe piece than a nice pair of skinny jeans? Probably not! Over the years, denim jeans have become the most worn piece of fashion in the world. Here in Spain, everyone has at least one pair in their closets. And the most stylish often wear skinny jeans that really show off their 'assets.' Be it in the sunny
districts of Barcelona or amidst the bust metropolis of Madrid, skinny jeans are everywhere in Spain!

Cool in Culottes
When it gets too hot in Spain that jeans will feel too hot and heavy, many fashionistas opt for a pair of culottes instead. Often high-waisted and billowy with its wide silhouette, this style staple allows for more flattering shapes and easy comfort. They also often come in breathable materials, such as cotton, linen, khaki, and the like. Whichever top your pair them with, make sure you tuck it in to really accentuate your figure! That's how the Spanish do it!

A Big Pair of Sunglasses
You don't have to go to
Ibiza or
San Sebastian just to rock your best pair of sunglasses. Shady eyewear is worn all over the country, even in the most urban cities and most bustling metropolises. After all, all of Spain is in the Mediterranean. Even when it's
winter here, the sun still shines just as brightly. No matter where you go, you won't look out of place with your sunglasses. On the contrary, it's a style staple that's easy to rock no matter where you are.

Sunny Sundress
Stylish Spaniards love a good sundress! When it's summer, they simply pair it with sandals and a straw hat and they're good to go. When it's winter, they sport either with a leather or denim jacket or even under a coat! Don't you think that there's something so 'Mediterranean' about a sundress? Whether you're strolling in a busy city or along the coasts by the Mediterranean sea, a sundress will look appropriate no matter what! They add a feminine touch to any outfit too!

Something Polka-dotted
You're probably confused as to what style of sundress you'd want to get here in Spain. Do you go for a plain one or a printed frock? Well, if you're leaning towards the latter, go for a polka-dotted one! If there's one print that the Spanish love, it's the polka-dots! This lively and fun pattern beautifully reflects the energy of the Spanish, as well as adds a bit of quirk into any outfit.

Hot For A Hat
While you're at it, why not add a hat, as well? It's no secret that Spain can get pretty hot no matter what time of the year it is. A hat is more than appropriate as a style staple in this country. In the more rural areas, like
Costa del Sol, for instance, you'll see women sporting straw sombreros and fedoras. While in the major cities, they're likely crazier and made in sturdier materials like felt, suede, and the like.

A Nice Pair of Kicks
Now, let's talk footwear! There are two types that Spanish fashionistas live by! The first is a good pair of sneakers! Be it a stark white pair of Stan Smiths or classic
Chuck Taylor Converse high or low-cuts, sweet kicks go a long way in Spain. Of course, they're the most appropriate when you want to explore the city you're in, spending the entire day walking around. The level of their comfort is not lost among Spain's most stylish too, making it a popular choice of footwear in the country!

Sexy Sandals
Whether you're
shopping in Málaga or
bar-hopping in Barcelona, cute sandals go a long way for a more evening-ready outfit. In fact, low-heeled sandals will also work during the day, it's just that more people prefer to wear sneakers in the afternoon instead. But come nightfall, when it's time to jazz things up and look a little bit sexier than usual, strappy sandals are the perfect footwear. Every brand sells them here, from the most luxurious labels to
high street stores!
