Italians are the street style peacocks; Parisians can be relied on for effortless elegance; Londoners are the queens of quirk; and New Yorkers are pros at mixing high street and high fashion. But what about the Spanish?

Sure, Madrid or Barcelona may not be the first thing that comes to mind when people say “fashion capital”, but Spain is far from short of flair. With a penchant for easy separates amped up with statement accessories, their fashion bloggers like Zina Charkoplia and Gala Gonzalez ooze playful sophistication with plenty of personality.

Similarly, the country’s famed high street labels – hello Zara, Pull&Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius and Massimo Dutti – can be relied on for your wardrobe fix, no matter your style. Here, our curation of Spring Summer 2017 buys for the intellectual dresser, trendy rock chick or the woman who just wants to roll out of bed and look Insta-ready – Spanish style.

#1: The intellectual dresser

Zara Street Style

Known for favouring pared-down silhouettes with clean lines, the Spanish-influenced intellectual keeps things visually interesting by introducing bold colours (like the cobalt blue turtleneck and the striped tote here) or shapes (note the elongated sleeves).
