What do Argentinians normally wear everyday?

During different seasons, women can be spotted wearing ​patterned dresses, skirts, and one-piece outfits. While jeans ​remain a popular choice, leggings in various textures and colours ​are also favored. Pairing a stylish blouse or t-shirt with jeans is a ​trendy street fashion look. Among the younger crowd, vibrant ​colours and playful patterns are more prevalent, with oversized ​clothing currently being trendy.


Skinny jeans, shorts, soccer jerseys, and rock band t-shirts are ​among the trendiest streetwear items. Embracing a more ​gender-neutral fashion, young individuals opt for shirts with ​playful designs, vibrant colors, leggings, and oversized clothing. ​When it comes to formal events, a stylish plaid shirt, a jacket, and ​a quality belt make up the most sought-after combination.
