What to Pack For Barcelona in September
Barcelona’s style is laid-back but chic, with locals mixing casual pieces, bright colors, and classic outfits with a pop of personality. In September, you’ll see long skirts, short skirts, shorts, and light linen pants everywhere, while summer’s heat makes jeans a no-go. This packing guide will work throughout summer till mid October.

September in Barcelona is warm during the day, especially when you’re out exploring. To blend in with locals, go for casual but elevated. Pair a nice top with relaxed bottoms, dress up casual clothes with accessories, or balance an elegant dress with casual shoes. And don’t forget to add some colors!
Tip: Pick tops and bottoms that can be easily mixed and matched to avoid overpacking. The tops and bottoms I have selected, can be easily mixed and matched to create very different looks.

Best Travel Luggage - Tried and Tested
I’ve been using Away luggage for almost ten years and have taken it all over the world. I’ve dragged it over countless cobblestones, stuffed it to the brim, and it’s still incredibly durable. The zipper holds strong, the wheels roll smoothly, and all three of my Away suitcases are still in great condition. Pair it with packing cubes to stay organized. If you are traveling with carry-on only, get the compressing packing cubes. I have the Away Carryon and the Away Medium Luggage.
For a personal bag, I recommend the Dagne Dover Landon in Medium. It fits perfectly under the seat, has a luggage sleeve that slides securely onto the Away carry-on, is super lightweight, and easy to wash. I love it so much I convinced my friend Christie, also a travel blogger, to get one. Now she takes it everywhere too. Another favorite is the Longchamp Le Pliage. It’s incredibly lightweight and holds a ton. While it doesn’t have a luggage sleeve, I simply slip the handles over my suitcase handle and it works perfectly. Honorable mention goes to the Longchamp Le Pliage L Travel Bag. I love packing it in my carry-on in case I shop and can’t fit everything in my luggage. It’s so lightweight and compact that it adds no extra weight.
