hi guys what's up if you're new to my channel welcome my name is Kat Theo and
I just recorded this entire video without my mic on so here we go again
I'm assuming if you're watching this video you have at least some remote
interests in Spain as you should it's a great country where your love for spicy
food goes to die well all jokes aside you will love Madrid and you might just
never leave like me by the way if you don't know my channel you should I'm
specifically talking about Madrid city centre not extremadura not Galicia
not the entire Iberian Spanish Peninsula just Madrid just a disclaimer this video
is really just my opinion and should not be taking that seriously if you disagree
with me I'll leave a comment below a nice one please but if this is your
first time living abroad and you just want to fit in I just want to say you
will see everything here everyone has their own interpretation of style and
don't forget that Madrid is a major international city with all kinds of
different people feel free to take this time that you're away from your home and
your comfort looks on to experiment with your style and learn what European
fashions you love and you hate because why not so with that being said here's
my list generalizing what Spanish people do not wear in Madrid
number one is socks with sandals no no honestly though I don't know what
influencer or famous person made this okay in the United States to leave your
house in this fashion maybe a famous basket player was like I don't know what
to wear today should I wear sneakers or should I wear sandals and I just kind of
came out with like socks and sandals and then just caught on because that happens
often people just wear things they just catch on I would say most of everything
on this list is pretty subjective but this one you will never ever ever see on
anyone ever but I've gone for a while from the United States comment below
people are still wearing socks with sandals out in public my second thing is
not actually a thing people wear but how they dress for the season and not for
the temperature I talked about this in my other video but this is not something
you're gonna see until it's kind of wintery ish and the weather is changing
and it's kind of like bipolar global warming. it almost feels like that a lot
of people have already changed their wardrobes to their winter wardrobe and
then when it gets like one weird hot date they're just like I'm not gonna
take out my my summer clothes again or my fall clothes I don't know you keep an
eye on it this winter and let me know my third thing are Sports shoes this is
more just for women I commented about this in my other video and a lot of
people like disagree with me so I just want to clarify what I meant has anyone
else noticed that mostly teens young adults I would say they wear simple
black or white converse vans types of shoes it's like a fashion sneaker it's
not a sports sneaker like Nike or Jordans it's like very fashion type of
sneaker they're plain and they match pretty much many different
outfits are white they're black they're easy to match with anything you'll even
feel it Timberland like shoes that are pretty
popular but what you won't see with women on it every day basis is just
walking around in the city centre people wearing
Nikes Jordans sports shoes like sports shoes for running but I wear sports
shoes I'm not running and I don't even go to the gym I just wear sports shoes
just because like they're comfortable but you won't really see that unless
they're working out what's your opinion let me know my next thing are how
Spanish women and men like to wear more neutrals than big loud colors in my
opinion may dress a lot more conservatively
than in the United States as far as colors go a lot of Nuetrals blacks
whites beiges things that match with many different outfits like I said
before you get a little bit of everything and everyone in Madrid
however I do notice that in general people don't wear a lot of things and
are like look at me type of colors and outfits more like neutrals it's more put
together and honestly I really love it I really love it ok the next one are
wiploc flip-flops just say goodbye to your flip-flops
unless you're at the pool or the beach or somewhere where there's water
flip-flops people don't wear on a daily basis it can even be hot out people just
don't wear flip-flops it's just like sandals heels or these converse shoes my next
thing is in winter and fall the leather jackets are in my goodness I didn't
realize how cute leather jackets were they're just so cute I love it you just
throw money anything just seems like in the winter and in fall most women wear
the leather jackets they're super cute and that's just something that's
definitely in style if you are in Madrid already and you are looking for like
some cheap ones especially faux leather you can check out the rostro they have a
lot of stuff and they have a lot of deals where you can get faux leather
jackets for ten dollars and under okay the next thing kind of fashion thing
in Madrid I've noticed if there's not much of a difference between Spanish
women during the day - Spanish women ah what do I mean by that is a lot of time
in the US during the day we are very lazy and you know sweatpants leggings
sneakers kind of like always in sportswear but when we go out it is like
complete 360 makeup nail hair outfit and we were like looking like tens but
during the days like a lot of people at least a lot of people from I don't care
but I feel like Spanish women especially my friends do not change that much from
day and night it's like they always look great but then at night when we go out
they just throw on some heels and more makeup and that's that's it they don't
you don't like this huge day/night it just makes me feel like a complete
disaster because during the day I'm like Chewbacca
and then that night I'm like Beyonce I just like they have more of a culture of
I'm going outside let me not look like a hot mess whereas we don't really
here I don't know what's your opinion let me know Oh my last thing is about
men wearing shorts okay this has been like the conversation
of the frickin day let me tell you my roommate Dani says it's very common
for men to wear shorts I personally have not seen that many men wearing shorts I
don't know if it's just like in the u.s. a lot of men wear basketball shorts
literally when I went back home I was like everyone is wearing back to squat
shorts I come back here I just feel like people we're travelers more often and
they just dress a little bit nicer but I think a lot of people disagree so I am
gonna ask Facebook what do the people that are veterans he had I've looked it
for a few years granted I never actually lived in Madrid
in the really hot months of July and August when it gets really really hot
how this is but there's but the rest of the year I feel like they wear trousers so let's
go to Facebook right now and check out what people think about this okay the
results are in 57 people say yes all the time so Wow a lot of people think
Spanish men do wear shorts outside of exercising and 20 people said sometimes
five people said no never so obviously people do not agree with me and two
people said yes but in short shorts and then one person just said I haven't
noticed okay let's go to the comments Andres says not just shorts but super
short shorts above the knee can't forget the dangling cross earring in one year I
haven't seen that as much actually stephanie says not often I've noticed
most people wear jeans into the summer I agree with this I've seen jeans mostly I
see people with jeans but Paula says not to work but then will says depends on
what kind of work the met my primary school wear shorts whenever the weather
calls for it okay Jack says people dress up at night
usually wearing trousers but obviously if it's summer shorts are more common
and this person says my Spanish husband never wears shorts only if they are swim
trunks at the beach or the lake but since moving here I've learned that he
almost never represents the north and I can't judge things by him I would say
some do and some don't I totally agree with this ok so there you have it on men
wearing shorts in Madrid I think it's all very it's not as common as in the US
but a lot of people do especially in the summer and that's that that's all I have
for you guys today I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I enjoyed creeping
on people on my Terrace as they walked by I had so much fun making this video
so what things that I miss put it down below I'll see you in the next video bye
