Traditional Cuban Clothing

The Republic of Cuba is an island nation in the moncler outlet store usa Greater Antilles between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. Geographically, it's located 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Key West, Fla., and is made up of more than 3,700 small islands and keys as well as the main island of Cuba and the Isle of Youth. At its widest point, moncler outlet black friday the island of Cuba is 120 miles (190 kilometers) across and 770 miles (1,250 kilometers) long (about the size of Pennsylvania). Island temperatures seldom fall below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius), and natural fabrics like cotton and linen have always been popular because they're breathable and lightweight.

Recognizably Latin styles like tiered ruffled skirts, exaggerated sleeves and brightly colored, embroidered shirts and blouses have had their place in Cuban fashion, but as Cuba struggled to exercise its independent spirit, Afro Cuban influences like the moncler clearance African head wrap, or bandana, began to surface, creating an individualized look and a fusion of cultures that's uniquely Cuban. Remnants of these fancy rumba style dresses are more often worn today as moncler uk costumes to entertain tourists or stylized into formal wear like wedding gowns. An average wardrobe in Cuba today is likely to moncler outlet black friday consist of casual slacks or jeans, shorts, skirts (for women) and T shirts or loose fitting tops.

One traditional Cuban garment is in widespread use on the island, though. It's called a guayabera shirt, Havana shirt, Mexican wedding shirt or cigar shirt. It's the Cuban answer to laid back male chic. The guayabera shirt has two (or four) front pockets, and two groups of closely spaced pleats on the front and back. It has a dress style collar and buttons, and is worn loose and long with slits a few inches up the sides.

Cubans claim the guayabera shirt as their own, but so do most of the countries in Latin America. Where early styles were probably white moncler jackets outlet or off white and somewhat plain, 21st century versions come in anything from silk to satin and with sport embroidered designs, beads, rick rack and other embellishments. They're worn on casual and even some formal and work related occasions. An offshoot of the guayabera shirt is the feminine version, the guayabera dress. Long, loose, and lightweight, it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
