Wear lots of layers!!!

I like to wear clothes with lots of layers so that I can easily adjust what I'm wearing if it's hot or cold. I usually wear both a scarf and jacket to the airport with a light T-shirt or dress underneath, so that I can take both of them off once I arrive.

Loose-fitting garments are best. If you do opt for something tighter, like leggings, make sure the material is soft and stretchy. Material: Materials like pleather aren't ideal for flying. Stick to cozy fabrics that look nice, like cotton or cashmere.

Mexican style includes everything from traditional dresses to fashionable jeans and stylish tops. Most Mexicans dress more modestly, including wearing jeans and pants even in the warmest months. Packing dresses, lightweight long pants, and capris will help you blend in more, especially outside of coastal areas.

Don't be loud or obnoxious. Helps if you interact with the people and speak some simple Spanish like hello and bye. And last but not least act natural and have fun but be polite. Unless you are literally walking on the beach don't wear shorts and/or flip-flops.

Space is already at a premium on a plane, so you don't want to add anything that will make you feel even more confined. This is not the time for skintight jeans (although you may want to carry a jean jacket). “As a passenger, I always wear ponte knit pants, which offer stretch and are stylish,” says Caris.

TOP TIPS FOR MINIMALIST PACKING

1 | Consider following the 54321 Packing Rule: you can make 5 good outfits from 4 tops, 3 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shoes and 1 dress (if you are a female). I sort of followed this rule but added just a few extra pieces since I was planning to be in Guatemala for 2.5 weeks.

Pack complimenting clothing.

I have a simple equation for a week of packing – three tops and three pants that all must match each other. This way I get nine outfits from six articles of clothing! Throw in a little black dress, and you're ready to take on any destination.

Pack Clothes In Three Coordinating Colors

If you're headed to Paris or another urban destination, for example, any combination of black, white, navy and charcoal is a good bet. For a beach vacation or outdoors excursion, khaki, off-white (or white) and bright hues like orange or yellow always work.

In general, Mexico City fashion is more casual than in the United States or Europe. Amongst chilangos (Mexico City locals), you'll find that most folks dress modestly with jeans and teeshirts. Even in the hottest parts of the year, most locals will wear pants rather than shorts.

Typical Mexican dress does not follow the same conventions as European styles of clothing. Instead, rectangles of elaborately woven cloth are sewn together to create boxy garments. These often feature brocading which decorates the fabric's surface with shapes of birds, flowers, animals, and geometric shapes.

Dresses and skirts are great options for Mexico City as long as they aren't too short or revealing. Women in Mexico are more conservative when it comes to showing their legs so I wouldn't recommend anything more than a couple of inches above the knee.
