Yes, fashion in Spain can be affordable. You just need to know where to shop.
In this article you’ll find the 5 cheapest clothing stores in Spain — with real prices, examples of what you can buy, and a few tricks to save even more during sales.
1. Primark — basic items from €2
Primark is one of the most popular budget clothing chains in Spain.
This shop is very popular and often visited by young families with children. For babies and newborns, there is a large selection of children's items and other necessary little things.
For example, a set of seven cute bodysuits for babies costs around €13, simple leggings cost around €2, and T-shirts start at €2.50.
The only disadvantage is that these shops are not available in every city (there are currently 62 in the whole of Spain, but there is always at least one Primark in every province). Just search on Google Maps — maybe there is one near you?
✔️ Excellent selection of basics
✔️ The largest shop in Madrid on Gran Vía
✔️ Frequent promotions and discounts
📌 Tip: come on weekday mornings — it's easier to find the right size and there are less queues.
2. Lefties — stylish clothing at affordable prices
Lefties is a brand that was originally created as a Zara outlet and now sells fashionable clothing starting at around €5 for a T-shirt and €10 for sports trousers.
✔️ Often seasonal promotions
✔️ Fashionable styles at low prices
✔️ Available for men, women and children
💡 This shop is especially good if you want to look fashionable without spending a lot.
3. Kiabi — French fashion at Spanish prices
Kiabi is a French chain offering affordable clothing for the whole family. It is usually slightly more expensive than Primark, but the quality of the clothing is a little higher.
✔️ A wide selection of basic and fashionable items
✔️ Frequent discounts for registered customers
✔️ The opportunity to donate your clothes
💡 An excellent choice if you want comfortable, everyday items at a reasonable price.
4. H&M — Sweden's favourite with frequent discounts
H&M is an international chain known for its discounts of up to 70% during seasonal sales. Here you can find T-shirts starting at around €8, jeans starting at around €20–€30, and accessories at reasonable prices.

5. C&A — affordable, high-quality clothing
C&A is another chain with a decent selection of everyday clothing: from T-shirts for around €10 to jeans for around €15–20 and jackets for around €40–60.

💡 This shop is suitable for those who want slightly higher quality items than those in the ultra-low-cost segment.
🧥 Extra tips for even better shopping deals
📍 Keep a close eye on the rebajas seasons
There are two main sales seasons in Spain:
-
Winter (enero–febrero) — January–February
-
Summer (julio–agosto) — July–August
During these periods, discounts can reach 30–70%.
🛍️ Outlet villages and markets
If you are willing to travel a little outside the city, outlet villages such as Las Rozas Village (Madrid) or La Roca Village (Barcelona) often offer high-end brands at significant discounts (sometimes up to 60%).
👕 Second-hand and vintage
At markets and vintage shops (such as Humana in Madrid or the Sunday street market El Rastro), you can find interesting items at minimal prices — sometimes even starting at €1, especially when items are on sale.

📌 What is important to remember
🌟 In Spain, clothes are not always cheaper on the stall than in other European countries — but with sales, you have the chance to buy things at very good prices.
🌟 Always check the sale sections in shops and online offers — especially in January and July!
🌟 If you live in large cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia), the chances of finding good deals are much higher.
