What To Wear In Jamaica
To sum it up - Casual and laid back
- Casual clothes in lightweight natural fabrics ( cotton, silk & linen) will work best - It is warm and sunny but not unbearably hot all year round.
- However the nights tend to be a little cooler and a pashmina or wrap is worth popping in your case.
- Go for comfort over style.
- Daytime essentials include T shirts and shorts as most people spend their time on the beach or by the pool.
- Keep your swimwear and shorts for the beach, beach bars and hotel pools.
- Cover up away from the beach or pool.
- For evenings; guys dress is casual; long shorts or trousers and short sleeved shirts. Ladies tend to wear short summer dresses - and take a shawl as just after a downpour it cools very quickly but only temporarily.
- From May – November is officially the rainy season although it tends to start earlier these days. However being the rainy season you do get lots of sunshine but it is interrupted by deluges of rain which last for up to 30 minutes at a time.
- Our advice would be to be sure and pack some flat sandals.
- And remember your suncream and insect repellant.
