Ok. I can tell you exactly what people wear. I am from the US & I have family from
PR. So being an outsider looking in, its better to tell you, b/c someone who lives there says they wear what everyone else wears. Also no the do not dress like Miami that much. Miami men wear lots of Guayabera's (cuban button shirts) & they do not wear that much in
PR. & women in Miami wear much less clothing.
Ok so in
PR it is hot all year so people dress to stay cool, summer clothes, you know. Girls like to look nice. More than americans. They dress up more on a regular basis. They wear alot of tight fitting clothing. But they do cover up more than some americans. Most girls will dress sexy but not wear mini skirts & belly shirts unless at the beach. Women like to wear anything in style & they like the belt to match their shoes. The shirt & purse dont have to match. They like jewelery & having their hair & nails & makeup done, etc.
In general puertoriquenos wear jeans & tops(women) or t-sirts (men). Also people that work in offices dress in business attire. Men wear basketball apparel sometimes b/c its a big sport in
PR also. Like Nike shorts & basketball sneakers etc. In the younger guys(teens etc) they have 2 big styles. 1 is a surfer look. They might wear a quicksilver t-sirt w/ a shell necklace & flipflops (called choncletas). & then there is a more hiphop style too (b/c of the huge reggaeton scene now). Where they wear baggier clothes & hiphop brands like rocawear & sneakers even jamiacan bracelets & bob marley shirts. Of course there are more styles. like rocker, etc. but not as popular. & older women wear some cotton grandma nightgowns for bed & sometimes cleaning the house, lol.
