Going to dominican republic in May. What clothes do you recommend?

Question

I dont want to be sweating like crazy but also be too under dressed. Also keeping in mind going out and "looking good" for the nightlife. Any suggestion. Thanks!

Answer 1

You may want to wear a bullet-proof vest if you are travelling to Santo Domingo.

     If you are going to be hanging around the beaches in say, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana or La Romana in May, it's going to be hot hot hot...so light airy clothing, sandals, big floppy hats and don't forget the sunscreen.  I hope this information helps, and have a great trip.   Dr. Harvey Glimebinder

Answer 2

Dress like you would for Miami Beach and you will be comfortable.

Answer 3

Dominican women (from poor to rich) dress in jeans (or dress up) and have their hair done (especially in the capital)

if you are of dominican descent, a quick way to stand out as an american or nonnative is to dress sloppily and not have your hair done nicely...

but if you're going as a tourist... than be ready to wear light colored and breezy/cotton clothes... it gets real hot

Answer 4

My husband and I went in May for our honeymoon 5 years ago.  I would suggest light, cotton clothes, sandals for during the day and on the beach (sand is HOT), a pair of runners for some walking, and as it is hot, make sure to have mostly shorts and t-shirts.  We brought one nice outfit (dress for myself, button up shirt and nice pants for hubby).  Wear one pair of pants there, and have one light sweater or jacket in case of rain or for in the evenings (lots of sun during the day makes the evenings feel much cooler).

A hat, shades, and lots of sunscreen is a must, as well as repellant, or something light to cover your shoulders and arms to protect from the hot sun (if that's your thing).  Bring all your toiletries as purchasing in the D.R. is expensive.  Pack light!  Makes things so much easier later when you want to bring souvenirs home!  :)

Hope this helps, and have a wonderful trip!

Answer 5

Dressed like you feel yourself good with, is the best way!. Light clothing and jeans, flopper's during the day.

Have a good time and discover the country!
