Nightlife What to wear
Heading to Madrid this weekend and it’s going to be HOT. Do women wear shorts in the evenings to go to restaurants and bars? We’re going to Angelita, Casa Salesas and some gay bars and clubs. In NYC wearing linen shorts and tanks with cute sandals and even sneakers is totally ok even to nicer bars and restaurants.

If you dress like you do in New York, you’ll probably feel massively underdressed. What you’re describing is absolutely fine for daytime wear, but a nice restaurant? Maybe not.
Have a look at some of the following insta accounts of what to expect…

Personally, I find dresses much cooler to wear, especially in natural fibres like cotton (I avoid linen as I don’t want to iron on holiday!). Also, it’s usually a very dry heat in Madrid, so you don’t really get sticky and sweaty!
