What to Wear
OMG! I spent so much time trying to figure this out, so I'm going to make it so easy for you. Wear what you feel comfortable in! Cuban people wear what WE wear in America. But unlike us, they don't care how hot it is, they wear TIGHT, ankle-hugging jeans because they are accustomed to the heat and humidity!

I packed skirts, shorts, a pair of leggings and two dresses and my
KEEN's. I loved them because they matched my skin tone and I could literally walk with them on the beach and then go hiking. It's funny, I met a 30-something on the ride home from Cuba and she loved my Keens, but she was all about the heels. Some people just have to wear them, if that's you, you may find walking a challenge everywhere in Cuba because the sidewalks are evil! In Havana city the sidewalks are not so bad, but outside of Havana is where the roads and sidewalks are seriously neglected. Your feet will need to take you to places not always accessible by car, horse and buggy or bicycle coach.

Of course, if you're going out to a fancy dinner or show or the Hotel Nacional you'll want to dress up. Men should wear slacks and women slay.
