I’m still recovering from five days at La Feria de Abril. This was my second time going, and it was just as good — if not better. Sevillians really know how to live during Feria. The colours, the cold beer, the amazing food, the flamenco music and dancing on every corner… it’s a full sensory experience, in the best way. As my friend Sarai says, it’s a proper “shock to the senses”.
I’ll share more about it at the end of this article (including a few recommendations if you’re planning a trip — the food alone is worth going).
But let’s be honest, you’re here for the outfits.
I went in with big plans — outfits, videos, content, the whole thing. I even said at our first lunch, “I need to make a lot of content these five days.” And I did… for about a day.
After that, between late nights (or early mornings?) and doing it all over again the next day, my phone mostly stayed in my bag. I was with friends I don’t get to see often, and somewhere between the dancing and the chaos, I just let it go. As we say, que me quiten lo bailao — no regrets.
How I Got Dressed for Sevilla
Getting dressed for Feria isn’t the same as getting dressed at home — but I realised I still follow the same few steps every time. And once I figured that out, everything became a lot easier. It’s essentially a few days of occasion wear back-to-back, so here’s how I thought about it — and it applies to pretty much any event.
The outfits are just the starting point — the way I actually put them together (and how I approach getting dressed for occasions like this) is behind the paywall, along with a deeper dive into Sevilla and Feria.
If you’ve ever felt like you have nothing to wear for an event, or you’re not quite sure how to make an outfit feel like you, that’s exactly what I get into next.
