It’s all about the fabrics when considering Buenos Aires fashion in summer. It’s essential that you include garments crafted from fabrics that are lightweight, breathable and wick away moisture. The weather can drop cooler at night; make sure to include a lightweight jacket such as a leather or blazer to combat the drop in temp.

Dress code is largely influence by the humid weather: opt for a selection of tanks, camis and t’s in neutral colors that you can easily pair with colorful flowing skirts, a pair of harem pant and lightweight shorts, include a bold printed dress to add an feminine edge.

Palermo is the place to be as the night falls, with so many hip bars and clubs you’re sure to find to somewhere to enjoy some alfresco dining and a tasty cocktail or two. Make sure to pack a party outfit, think fitted jeans and an embellished cami or a printed summer dress. Choose a comfortable yet fun ensemble that you can enjoy dancing the night away in.

Summer in the city is a great time to showcase your sexy sun appropriate sandals. Add a pair of ballet flats or cute and comfortable walking shoes for when you’re walking and exploring and you’re good to go. Try to avoid packing heels: cobbles + heels = disaster. If you don’t feel comfortable without a bit of height, opt for a low wedge shoe instead. Check out our top wedges for summer!
