What to wear
I am wondering about a couple of things: 1) the year round weather in or around the POP, Sosua and Santiago areas and 2) what attire is sufficient mainly in evenings and nights. I will assume less or something really cool will be needed during the day because it will be hot. This is my first time coming (late November 2009). Please advise

something light that covers you up on your way back from the beach, try not parade flesh in the middle of town. |

For North shore, see above...

after you have lived here for a while you start noticing that it does, indeed, get cold in a winter  but a tourist will not notice. at worst long sleeve shirt will do nicely.
long pants, dress/sport shoes, polo/t-shirt/shirt will cover all your needs. on the coast you may wear flip flops and shorts. |

I have been there at all times of year and have never required more than a light sweater coat on the coolest of nights. That being said, I have been wearing tank tops when Domincans were wearing down filled winter parkas??? If you are coming from a northern cooler climate, shorts, polo shirts, a pair khakis, dress pants and a few nice shirts will do because it will be hot for you are used to.
