Default caribbean fashion

In another thread AZB mentioned to dale7 to wear the current caribbean fashion. So I'm asking

What is the current caribbean fashion for men and for women as well ?

Thanks

And azb said to "dress up" for the Thankgiving Day feast.

So ladies please tell me what that means in hot weather.

Anna, as far as Thanksgiving is concerned, both Barbara and I will be wearing what we would wear for such an activity on any other day. It will be a warm night, the bar will be crowded and hot, and nobody (except maybe AZB) is going to be worried about how people are dressed.

Besides, what does a Pakistani know about Thanksgiving?

Anna, my experience is that I go with just whatever I wear every day... for me it means a pair of linen or light pants, a t-shirt and sandals. Not even for AZB's video will I dress up

Coconut buttons? You use coconuts for buttons? Who makes the button holes? Or do you just rip 'em into your shirt

Anna - we won't be there for THAT feast, but maybe there will be something going on New Year's when we're there.

What I consider dressing up down there is a summer dress in a fabric that is nicer than cotton, say a light washable silk. I'd wear sandals with small heel, with maybe a few rhinestones or beads. At night, I wear more jewelry - couple of bracelets, larger earrings, anklet.

Or maybe capris with matching jacket in silk or linen. or if no jacket, then a wrap (shawl) made of silk or other fine light material. again - dressier sandals, little more jewelry.

Default Dress Code

Anna:

In this heat, it means wearing perspiration shields, a tank top (with the big armholes), shorts and flip flops! Maybe a large ice pack or a whole bunch of those little blue plastic thingies you freeze to put in the cooler. Glue 'em together, freeze and wear as a dress.....
