Black Guayabera
I just bought a black guayabera before remembering that I've really only seen them in white when visiting Mexico. Is there any taboo or superstition
that would make me think twice about wearing a black guayabera when I visit later this month? An international incident would probably spoil the trip.

Being from Miami, I have seen them in many different colors, including black, and am not aware of any problem with wearing black.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

For those of us with little fashion background, what the h... is a Guayabera?
Who would wear one, and in what setting?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

BTW, I'd wear the black in cold weather and white in hot.

Here is the Wikipedia entry for the Guayabera, complete with a photo. It's a fairly traditional, semi-formal shirt worn in Mexico and Latin
America. As an aspiring Nomad, I felt I needed to start dressing the part.

Wuz thinking the same thing; white and black, cut the slack. Red or blue, shame on you.

They come in various colors. No taboo for black although I don't think I'd wear a pink one. Rainbow either.

Dennis, I prefer mauve myself. After all, it is the offishul color of the Lesbian Nation, and I AM trapped..... in a mans' body.
Paul, I hope this is all helping.
