It is definately like the US, but a little behind on the fashion. I live in Andalucia, and before I lived in the US. Jeans are great. They don't really get noticed that much, just casual wear, like street, or to school (if you are a student), and also colorful pants are also in style, bell bottom. Destroyed jeans? Only if not "too much" ... I mean, if there is 20% left of material, that just says, "Mental." And it doesn't look that good, a couple of cuts on the knees and ripped at the bottom, that's perfect, talking destroyed. Spaniards, no, shorts are rarely worn, and that is by tourists. They wear Calf-Cut pants, or low jeans/pants. And these days, it's either skinny-jeans or jeans that cover your shoes completely. For shoes, they love high-heels, or sandals, the ballet-sandal type, with the lowlow heel and the rounded front and the bow, do you know them? For high heels, they love anything that shows their feet, so if high-heels, with the toe part cut out, that type, and if sandals, flip flops are good. They also like dressing out, even at day, even for casual stuff, not like going grocery shopping, but like taking walks and stuff. I hope this helps! ;) And I hope you like Spain!

Don't wear socks with your sandals!
Don't wear hats or baseball caps
Jeans are OK and no, we don't have any taboo about destroyed jeans.
Regarding shorts for the beach....well in March it depends on where you are going in Spain...it may still be a little bit cold. I'm from Barcelona and we don't go to the beach (with swim suits and all) until May/June so....
To go out at night...don't overdress!

Just like what everyone else has said,
No ball caps
Short are ok only during hot summer months.
Tennis shoes, dead give away for a tourist.
All I can say is most people in Spain dress to the hilt even just when they are walking around town. The women are drop dead gorgeous.

Depends on were you are going in general, all the different areas of Spain show some similarities at each season, although many times they show important differences as well. See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/Weather_in_Spain.htm for more details

I hear that the latest fad in Spain is to wear your underwear on your head.
Nah, just kidding.

Someone once gave me the advice that, when going to Europe, when in doubt overdress. Also, nothing says "American" like sweats and tracksuits and white sneakers.

#1 No sneakers or running shoes of any kind unless you are actually running, BLACK walking shoes are ok. No t Shirts.
