What to Wear
Marbella has two rather different areas. There is the old town and beaches, then there is the fashionable port of Puerto Banus.Marbella Old Town and Marbella Beaches
These are relaxed areas with an easy dress code. Everything goes in this area and shorts will do fine. As Marbella weather is mostly sunny, you should wear lightweight cotton clothes and in summer, you can wear shorts, women can wear skirts and tops. It winter take a light cardigan, jumper or wrap for those few chilly nights
Puerto Banus
For Puerto Banus, the fashionable port of Marbella, you'll probably need a few different outfits and they better be smart. Fashionable Puerto Banus with its yatchts, Ferraris and exquisite restaurants calls for sophisticated day wear. Get your swimwear and weggies ready for the champagne spray pool parties. Perhaps some figure hugging number for the pre-night club cocktails. For the nightclubs, you need an outfit fit for a celebrity together with killer high heels, lashes and lipstick. Basically, dress to impress, it’s all about designer hand bags and statement heels.
What are TOWIE wearing?
TOWIE Men
Men might not want to go as far as Bobby Norris to impress but you still need to dress attractively. Don't even think about wearing shorts for an evening meal in Puerto Banus. In many upscale places, men have to wear long trousers (but not jeans) and a shirt. Try and go for a short-sleeved shirt or polo shirt rather than T-shirts. If it's a Ralph Lauren polo-shirt even better.
TOWIE Women
Women also might want to take their cues from TOWIE. River Island seemed to be one of the favorite shops to the TOWIE girls. Kate Wright paired busty look top with billowing Palazzo pants her trim middle was highlighted with a thick waist band. Chloe Lewis went for the classic look in a floral playsuit and red high heels.
