What I wore to Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona
Sweat, simple fits, shenanigans. Plus every show I saw, rated.
Every year for the past six years, my friends and I have made the pilgrimage to Primavera Sound in Barcelona. It’s a tradition at this point, and basically the official start of summer (sorry solstice).
This year was no different: three (and a half) days of music, overpriced drinks, and being relentlessly tested by an overcrowded festival with a wild lack of toilets. I didn’t do much city-tripping (Primavera is a sport), though I did swing by the Gimaguas flagship, where I almost bumped into Charli XCX, but didn’t.
What I wore
I didn’t manage to take any outfit pics during the festival, so here’s a little home re-creation. Kindly ignore the finger bandage, that’s a recent addition.
I kept all the looks super simple; same Salomon sneakers (comfort first), Lemaire net bag, Bidules sunnies, and minimal jewellery in all of them. If you need links to any of the pieces, you’ll find them in earlier letters, or just drop me a DM.
