Extra Information

Extras -
Porteños (Buenos Aireans if you will) tend to follow the European trend and add their own distinctive American twist. Basically, preppy goes over well here—classic and elegant. Pastel and primary colors versus garish hues are favored. Clothes for women tend to be tight and sensual. High-heeled shoes or boots in winter with matching handbags are a hot ticket item. Most women wear their hair long and dyed (hardly a gray hair in sight!). Going to the salon in Argentina is a fabulous bargain, and can provide a fun cultural experience. Bring a picture in case your stylist is English-challenged. Men also dress classically but their clothes are less snug-fitting. The teens’ world, like in the other places ‘round the world, is a separate fashion circle unto itself. Jeans and sneakers are a safe bet. Where to shop? Depending on what you are looking for: San Telmo has great antique jewelry (not much open on Saturdays). Galerias Pacificas, a mini-mall, on Florida Street (a pedestrian street full of shopping opportunities) is a nice place to get out of the hot or cold weather. Good streets for walking and shopping include: Avenida Santa Fe Cabildo Florida Corrientes The ‘hip’ designers are located in Palermo Soho Duration: Approx 3 hours Pick-up/Drop-off from your hotel or apartment
