The standard Argentine look consists of a rumpled collared shirt, shirt tail out, jeans/pants that appear to have never been laundered, and filthy dirty athletic shoes, combined with a disheveled hair and a two day old stubble.
In other words, the Kato Kaelin look.
In my observation, this combination is apparently correct for any event and in any situation.
Thanks,
Jackson

Posts: 30Thanks Gato, I appreciate the help. Just one question. How do the locals dress? And since we're on the subject. I imagine their must be some kind of dress code for the higher end clubs like Black, right?

2. Never tell chicas it is your first time in a club. Tell them you have been there many times with your porteno amigos, if they ask where are they now say home with the novia.
3. Never tell chicas its your last night here. You will not get better send off service.
I have more but these are the big ones. Dressing like the locals helps blend in. I can fit the bill until I speak.

From what I've read, it seems you get quoted, double or sometimes triple the price if you:
A) Are an American tourist and / or.
B) Speak no spanish.
I speak Spanish fluently, but what else is needed to have to deal with the overpricing?
