No tank tops and no really short shorts. Wear a shirt that covers your shoulders and pants or skirt that covers your knees. We visited cathedrals in Madrid, Grenada, and Seville and if they had dress codes, they certainly weren't enforced.

Men are explicitly requested to wear long pants. Women are requested to wear dresses, skirts and pants that go past the knee. So capri pants are ok. Churches other than at the Vatican are more lenient on this one but still request clothing that covers the knee.

Dress code for Barcelona clubs Guys should go for dark shoes rather than light ones and avoid trainers like the plague. For women, heels aren't common at most of Barcelona's clubs, except the fanciest ones. The beachfront clubs generally have much smart dress codes, with dresses for women and collared shirts for guys.

In general it seems a bit more relaxed than in Italy. I've seen locals break the rules while wearing sleeveless dresses (not super short but a couple inches above the knee). The main hangup seems to be around shorts and tank tops on anyone. However, the official rule is shoulders and knees covered.
