What to Wear in Miami, FL

If you're up for an international destination full of warm beaches, exotic people, and plenty of shopping and dining, then you will love what Miami has to offer. This city is deeply influenced by Latin American culture. You can tell from its diverse restaurants, people, and festivals that Latin Americans are very proud of their city. If you love art, take a look at the buildings on South Beach, there are over 800 art-deco style buildings.

If this is your first visit to Miami, you need to take into consideration the time of year you will be visiting. If you will go to Miami during the months of November through April, it will not be as warm however; it also can get pretty cool at night. Make sure to bring plenty of summer clothes but also some warmer ones, such as long sleeve shirts, pants, and closed toe shoes.

During the months of June through October, Miami can get rather hot and humid. You will need to bring lots of summer clothes like sundresses, short-sleeve tops, shorts, polos and other similar summer items. Make sure to also pack an umbrella, since rainy season also falls around this time as well as hurricane season. Make sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, flip-flops, and a good book if you plan to lounge by the pool or on the beach under the summer sun.

Evening dress in Miami is very fashion, label conscious, and stylish. Women here usually dress very sexy, tight dresses, short skirts, etc while men usually dress in button-down shirts in linen, rayon, or silk blends and slacks. If you are traveling on business, make sure you bring business suits that are lightweight and in traditional black, navy and grey colors.

What Clothes To Carry When Visiting South Beach Miami
If you are planning on visiting South Beach Miami, you definitely need to know which clothes to pack since the airlines charge you extra fees for any extra weight you may carry.

Taking a look at how people spend their time will give you an idea as to what you should pack.
Early in the morning before breakfast people usually take a brisk walk on the boardwalk or go for a run as there are miles of boardwalk along the hotel side of the beach. If you would like to do that, you could pack a pair of sneakers and some exercise clothes.

After breakfast most people hit the beach, you need to pack some beach clothes, suntan lotion, swimsuit, sunglasses and you would also need a hat to keep the sun out of your face. In general synthetics or clothes made of 50% cotton and 50% synthetic are better than clothes made out of 100% cotton as cotton absorbs moisture and this neither feels good or looks good when the clothes get wet with your sweat. So depending on what you prefer doing at this time of the day, you need to pack clothes suitable for your activities.

After 11.00 am most people hang out either at a Starbucks or in a swimming pool until about 4.00 pm. You will either need a swimsuit for the pool or some light clothing, which is also comfortable, and can withstand the heat and humidity.

At dinner time you will need to dress up
You can either wear conservative clothes or dress in hip fashion as most luxury hotels have a dress code at dinner times. After dinner many people like to go out for a drink and many hotels do not allow people in beach clothes in their restaurants.

At night it is party time in South Beach Miami
As far as dressing, anything funky and crazy goes. The idea is to look hip and original and be noticed. It is hot and humid even at night, so comfortable clothing is a must. Though a dress code is strictly enforced in many nightclubs and you need to look your best.

This year bright colors are in style but if you are one of those that does not like bright colors, you can always dress in black or a shade of brown.

With the many weight and luggage restrictions that the airlines impose, you may not be able to pack enough clothes for all the activities that you may want to enjoy in South Beach Miami. You can always pick up any thing you may need right in South Beach Miami as there are many stores all around and after all it is about fun when you visit this town.
