Outfit for Norwegian national day celebration abroad
I am in Barcelona for an erasmus exchange, and the 17th of May is the Norwegian national day, so me and a large group of Norwegians are celebrating.
The problem, however, is that normally you would wear a suit and call it on the national day, but I didn't bring my suit with me to Barcelona.
Therefore my inquiry here is to ask for some advice on what I can easily get a hold of for an occation like this. I currently have "access" to some slightly baggy linen trousers, which could be of use, but I am open to anything.

As a not Norwegian (like most people on the server) it is kind of hard to help you with this question. Could you provide some more information about the holiday? What do you do on this day? How are you celebrating? What do people normally wear?
Guys normally just wear suits, however most people I know here will not be wearing suits here in Barcelona.
The day is spent having a nice breakfast in the morning, before we go out to hang out with other people outside, and there is usually a focus on "decorating(might not be good word for it)" themselves. Basically you want to dress nice for this day and I am clueless, because I can usually just wear a suit if I want to dress nice.
I’ll Get my kids bunad for you in the future😀, but trying to focus on the current situation rn, any idea/pinpointers?
how much do you have to spend?
Maybe a cap at 50-150euros is fine i guess
Range rather*
Maybe go to H&M/Zara/Uniqlo/Mango/Muji and try to get a white shirt and a blazer to wear with your linen trousers? should be doable within about €100-150?
