How To Dress In Mexico?
How to dress in Mexico depends on where you are planning on vacationing in Mexico, what time of the year you are traveling to Mexico, and what activities you will be doing.
Mexico is a big and very diverse country. Ranging from the most famous Caribbean beaches, like Cancun and Tulum on the Yucatan Peninsula or Los Cabos in Baja California to lesser-known mountainous areas like Real de Cartorce to one of the biggest cities in the world, Mexico City, or small historic towns like Guanajuato, Zacatecas, San Miguel de Allende and the like.
Therefore, we split up our Mexico vacation outfit ideas into separate sections, for simplicity and to give a better overview. These vacation wardrobe ideas can of course also overlap and are not just limited to one kind of destination,

Weather In Mexico In The Summer
Summer weather in Mexico, in general, can get pretty hot, not just at the beach towns. I remember temperatures reaching over 44 C / 110 F during the high summer months when I lived in Monterrey, Mexico.
However, many tourist destinations in Mexico, like Mexico City, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, are located on higher altitudes. This means the weather, while not reaching those extreme temperatures, will still get nice and warm in the Spring and Summer.
What To Wear In Mexico In Summer?
Therefore, in general, it’s a safe choice to wear summery clothes in Mexico during the late Spring and Summer months.
One thing, though, don’t be confused when you see local Mexicans wear long pants and jeans during hot and humid temperatures while you are absolutely breaking a sweat. As a tourist visiting Mexico only for a short period of time, this is most likely something that is totally unbelievable and unachievable for you. Even after living in Mexico for months I wasn’t able to and adjusted enough to wear long jeans in the hot summer months. Mexicans are simply adjusted differently to those temperatures than any tourist can ever be.

FAQs:
Mexico, What To Wear?
What Other Useful Things To Wear In Mexico?
A useful thing to wear in Mexico, especially when visiting cities like Mexico City, is a travel money belt or a travel neck wallet, so you keep your money and valuables close to you.
What Not To Wear In Mexico?
If you are wondering what not to wear in Mexico, it’s pretty simple. Most people visit Mexico during summertime or for a beach vacation in winter when the weather is still hot in Mexico’s beach destinations.
Either way, it will almost certainly not be cold at all when you vacation in Mexico. So unless, you actually visit the North of Mexico, like Monterrey, etc., where it’s actually cold in winter, you don’t need to bring any winter clothes for Mexico.
Other Things What Not To Bring To Mexico?
Other things not to bring or not to wear in Mexico is expensive jewelry. We recommend leaving expensive things at home. You really don’t need it there in our opinion and it’s also safer to leave valuables at home.
What To Wear On The Plane To Mexico?
For what to wear on the plane to Mexico we always opt for comfortable clothing like leggings and a sweatshirt.
Julia also always wears long pants and sleeves as it can get pretty cold on the plane. However, once you arrive in Mexico it will most likely be really hot. Therefore, it is smart to wear a tank top underneath so you can take your sweater off right away.
What To Wear In Mexico In December?
December is the most popular vacation month in Mexico. If you are going on vacation during the winter and wondering what to wear in Mexico in December, you will be fine with summer and beach clothes if you visit the country’s beach destinations.
If you are going to the mountainous area or the North of Mexico or places like Mexico City, then you will need warmer clothes and sometimes even winter clothes.
What To Wear In Mexico In November Or January?
The same goes for visiting Mexico in November or January, which are the second most popular vacation months. The beach destinations will be very nice and warm, without being overly hot and humid like in the summer months.
What To Wear In Mexico City?
Mexico City is a huge buzzing city with lots of people and traffic. If you are asking yourself what to wear in Mexico City our number one tip, aside from any seasonal clothing, is a wallet belt that you can wear close to your body and therefore cannot be stolen easily.
The same goes for a backpack or handbag that you may potentially want to wear. Make sure to have a closed backpack or purse that can’t easily be opened by pickpocketers in order to protect your valuables.
Nothing has ever happened to us visiting Mexico City, but we also paid attention to our belongings and didn’t flash any expensive items.
Travel Insurance For Mexico
Something else to consider for your vacation besides what to wear in Mexico is travel insurance for your Mexico trip.
