So if you're lucky and you're going to Puerto Rico this March, you're probably wondering what to pack and what to wear on your Caribbean vacation. We got you. Here's a list of all the clothes you might need for a fun and stylish stay in Puerto Rico.
Clothes
Denim shorts
Number one on your Puerto Rico packing list is a summer wardrobe staple and thus an essential on any warm country vacation list, the denim short. Wear it with tanks, tees and blouses to the beach, to go sightseeing or clubbing.

Basic tank tops or tees
Solid colored tank tops and t-shirts are a fail-safe option to pair with shorts and jeans. When you can go or go see the glowing waters of Vieques' bioluminescent Mosquito Bay, why spend hours on choosing what to wear? A basic top in grey or white is your saving grace. Paired with denim shorts or white jeans, it's a great casual combination.

A dress
If you're packing light or traveling just for a few days, pick one dress that can be both worn casually or dressed up with heels to go out in the evening. During the day, wear a bright flowy maxi dress or a loose fitting shirtdress while exploring the majestic, 400-year old El Morro Fort, the oldest Spanish fort in the New World. For a more evening look, cinch your dress at the waist with a belt when you go out to dine at San Juan's Oceano.

A lightweight jacket or cardigan
If you're staying by the cooler coastal area of Humacao on the eastern coast, where the trade winds come in, don't forget to pack something a little warmer for the night - like a lightweight jacket, a cardigan or a sweater. Also pack a rain jacket for those random showers (or if you decide to go camping in El Yunque national rainforest).

Wedge sandals
When preparing for your trip to Puerto Rico, also consider packing espadrille wedges. After El Morro or El Yunque mountain paths, shed your sneakers for wedge sandals to hit tapas bars in San Juan. They are dressier than flat sandals or flip flops, but more comfortable than stilettos, especially on the cobbled streets of San Juan.
