The last time I had any comment on Spanish fashion I was shot down in flames for producing a picture of a girl who could have been in New York or anywhere really. Even though it was quite clear she was in fact underneath the Almocobar Gate in Ronda I felt the need to find another photo to show you guys one of the looks you see here in Spain.
With a little bit of luck this look will be less likely to be seen in the States and might impress you ladies enough to get a few positive comments. Women in Spain tend not to look all alike, whilst there are certain trends I'm sure you'll agree this look is not likely to catch on with a lot of people, although, and please forgive me for saying this, it does show off her posterior really well. I'd have liked to see high heel boots to tighten up her legs but beggars can't be choosers when they're looking for fashion photos.
Guys in contrast, actually do all dress very alike. Dress shoes, a collared shirt and blazer are almost always seen with jeans and if its cold, a round-necked jumper as well. It's very rare to see Spanish guys wearing running shoes or cross-trainers unless they're also wearing a sweatsuit. Come to think of it, this is the same for the ladies as well.
But in Australia and the UK its very common to wear casual clothes or shoes for almost all occasions except where dressing up is called for. Now do you want to know something amusing? I don't think I ever saw a woman in Germany wearing anything like what this woman is wearing, yet the guys in Germany almost always wear outfits similar to this guy with one fundamental difference, the guys in Germany are taller.

I love suede, Matt. And if you take care of it, it wears quite well.
Your "model" would look better if she wore boots with a heel UNDERNEATH the pant legs.
I love to see what's happening on the streets in Europe.....you should do a weekly feature!

As a spanish boy I confirm; we all dress completely alike.

I hate the boots and jeans look. Most awful fashion trend in years.
