Clothing Styles of Young Women in Spain: A Look at 'Chonis,' 'Raxets,' and 'Hippies' Young women's fashion in Spain is diverse, with distinct subcultures shaping their style choices. One such video, posted by Agos Menendez on May 14th, 2025, explores three popular styles: 'Chonis,' 'Raxets,' and 'Hippies.' Menendez defines 'Chonis' as wearing tight pants or sportswear, often in black or white. She shows examples of young women dressed in this style. 'Raxets,' according to Menendez, are similar to 'Chonis' but with more emphasis on bold prints and accessories. She points out the use of leopard print and other unique elements. Finally, the 'Hippie' style is characterized by loose, flowing pants with floral prints, often worn in natural settings. Menendez illustrates this with images of a young woman in a flowing skirt and top. The video concludes with Menendez stating, "These are the styles that were most mentioned in that video, so that people from Argentina can also get to know them." The video offers a glimpse into the varied fashion landscape among young women in Spain, highlighting the individuality and creativity within these subcultures.
