What We’re Buying From Spain Right Now
The Spanish brands making us rethink what good fashion should cost.
One of the best things about the new wave of Spanish fashion is that so much of it still sits in that increasingly rare sweet spot: genuinely interesting clothes at prices that don’t require a financial intervention. Carmen Says is especially good at this, with pieces like the Brown Balance Fringe Maxi Skirt and Golden Sunlit Striped Asymmetric Top delivering the kind of texture, movement and slightly unexpected styling you’d normally expect to find several price brackets higher. Celia B goes louder with the Blueberry Wave Jacket, while Enaguas takes the opposite route with the Vestido Sevilla: soft, romantic and made for long days by the sea. Laagam’s Valentina Blue Lace Midi Skirt brings a more directional edge, with enough detail and shape to feel special without tipping into occasionwear territory. That’s really the appeal of this edit. These aren’t watered-down basics being sold as “affordable luxury.” They’re proper fashion pieces with personality, from fringe and lace to exaggerated silhouettes and saturated color, at prices that make experimenting with your wardrobe feel considerably less reckless.
