The dress code
Primavera gets more street-style coverage than most European festivals. The press describes a relaxed city look built on denim, mesh and comfortable shoes, layered up for the night.
- Mesh tops, florals, bold prints, lots of denim, worn-in sneakers and crossbody bags or bum bags. Nylon
- Layering for cold nights: dresses over jeans, sheer tops over tanks. Nylon
