What To Wear In Mexico
To sum it up - Keep cool in the heat
- There is so much to see and do in Mexico; whether you are trekking and plan to see a good deal of the country and its archaeological sites or enjoying a beach/ water sports holiday, your packing list will depend to a large degree on what you are planning.
- Jeans are always popular here, and teamed with smart tops and heels make for a flexible look that will help you fit right in.
- However, it is a hot climate and light layers in natural fabrics; cotton, silk or linen are a good alternative and work well with the humidity. They also wash and dry easily.
- Avoid wearing clothes that show your stomach or cleavage - particularly if you are planning on visiting the more conservative rural parts of Mexico.
- Our advice would be to wear skirts or dresses and lightweight trousers or Capri pants rather than shorts if you are travelling outside of the popular resort areas.
- Be sure to keep swimwear to the beach and pool.
- Pack a pashmina or pullover as the air conditioning on the first class buses, hotels etc can be fierce.
- Winter: Dec – Feb can be cooler early mornings and late evenings so our advice would be to pop a fleece in your case. The rest of the year the temperature remains pretty constant.
- Pack some comfortable closed walking shoes or trainers.
