Years after this is posted. That is some serious dedication! :)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Great to hear from you Henry! - Thank you for the kind comment.

[@TheDamnitsted]

ordered one right after watching this video, came in the mail today. This shirt is comfortable, and a must own for everyone. Living in Phoenix, AZ can get hot and this is the perfect stylish shirt to combat the heat. Thanks Antonio.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Keep it light colored - easy to match and the most classic.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Great to hear - you are welcome. Make sure to have it tailored just a bit to fit better!

[@a.sam.2976]

These shirts are worn all over the Caribbean. From Jamaica to Guyana to Trinidad and elsewhere. Everybody's Caribbean uncle wears this shirt.

[@davidlobo962]

I am Cuban American. I absolutely love all types of guayabera. I have a variety from really formal to casual backyard ones. It's the national shirt in Cuba. Also should be worn with a white tank top. Cubans loos for the as it can be seen through the shirt and it adds to the look. I normally stick with light colors during the day and dark at night obviously. They are rarely pure white but an off white color. Definitely try them on as it's all in the fit. Almost all 30 plus guayabera I own fit a little different.

[@D_DXGS]

Where do you get your shirts?

[@davidlobo962]

@@D_DXGS My friend if you want to score them for a great deal visit a goodwill in a Hispanic neighborhood. Happy hunting my friend.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you Silvia!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You are welcome!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Yes - there are!

[@franchescodicolo7340]

I prefer yucatan guayaberas. they have the best designs. any ideas where I can find some here in the US? thanks

[@RealMenRealStyle]

300 years of history - practical - cool - hard to not own one!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Will do!

[@JRVAKLO]

We call it ''the caribean toxedo'' Here in the Yucatan peninsula I wear these things all day everyday and I have some fancy ones I onle wear on weddings and such..

[@AntilleanConfederation]

Viva México. With love from A Cuban living in USA. 🇨🇺♥️🇲🇽

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

The tourists I refer to in the article are Ernest Hemingway, Gary Cooper, and John Wayne. Not bad company......

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Yup - DAccord - they have a large number under $100. Make sure you get it tailored to fit perfectly and you are in business!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You got it!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

DAccord - Raphael is a stand up guy who helped me prepare this. He makes his guayaberas righ in Miami. I think to him in the details above!

[@stephen4347]

I had some of these as a kid. Not popular in Europe or North America. Love this review and you have helped me immense with my style also coming from a military background.

[@megusta9045]

All the older gentlemen from Puerto Rico always use them on the daily. Come to realize linen has anti-radiation properties and other health benefits. Linen is the way to go.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Sounds like you need to change that - read teh article and check out my friends at Street Etiquette - they kill it and I think both of the men featured are in their early twenties.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I wish I was on the beach - give me a guayabera!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I will - I will:)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

And white is more formal!

[@ETSCross]

Seems like a nice shirt! I currently live in Kobe, Japan and it gets REALLY humid here in Summer. Now, I heard that the best material for humid weather was linen. Is that true? Unfortunately, linen creases very easily. How can I make sure that my guayabera stays well pressed during the day? One last thing, it is acceptable to wear a singlet underneath? Thanks for the video!

[@ianman6]

Hey Antonio, love all of your stuff. Definitely helped me look like the man I felt inside. I would love it if you made more videos about casual or personal style, since many of us wear that dress code most of the time but some of us (not me, of course) look silly doing it. More specifically, how to look good in the summer when you aren't wearing a suit or when it's even too hot for a blazer. Keep up the great stuff!

[@miopera40]

Guayaberas are probably the best formal shirt you could handle wearing outdoors under the tropical sun, and light weight safari style shirts.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

The protocol is JUST DO IT :) Look to my friends over at RibbedTee for the best undershirts on the planet - in my humble opinion. - Antonio

[@luiscals]

Nice and informative video Antonio. Thanks.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Luis Cañals You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it

[@fishwigy]

Here in Guayaquil the guayabera is considered a flagship piece of clothing. Men in my age nowadays wear t shirts with big brand logos or stupid quotes. I get it, in the humid season the heat is unbearable and I cannot wear my sports jackets or my suits as much as I like but I try to wear polos or something different and more dressy. I found my grandpa's white linen long sleeve guayabera in his wardrobe and it fits me well. I pair it with my light blue or tan chinos and brown chukkas or tan double monks and it feels very fresh, my skin can be seen through and overall the weave is loose. I'm looking forward to buying more. They sell very high quality and affordable guayaberas in downtown Guayaquil.

[@plum413]

Great video

[@TonyBlanco170]

The guayabera originated in Cuba from Canarian born farmers, am Puerto Rican thats the story my dad told me that his grand father told him who was from Tenerife of the Canary islands.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

TonyBlanco170 thanks for sharing the story Tony

[@LozaFoto]

hi is juan, i like it a lot, do you any website store i can trust to obtain one.

[@rhprabhath]

I live in a tropical country(Srilanka), it would be very useful to us if you can make more videos about clothing in hot weathers.

[@20thcenturyboy85]

Thanks for this info.

[@JinQb]

Do they typically come in white or does it vary in other colors? What colors do you recommend? Thanks for the video.

[@plum413]

Do u recommended a company that can make one under the 100 dls mark or less.

[@silviaguerra2096]

Good video Antonio!

[@musiclover865]

What is the typical outside chest pocket deminsion on a men's suit?

[@Hchris101]

Humble origins

[@brettwilm1]

Great video! I live in Tucson, AZ and need hot weather professional wear, and I've been considering a guayabera for some time. Are you aware of any protocol about wearing a vee-neck teeshirt under a lightweight guabera? Personal preference or essential? Thanks for advice.

[@CarlosNotVives]

I can't find any advice on how to wear a guayabera with an undershirt. Crew neck vs. V-neck? Seamless or not? Etc.? Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated.

[@JoelMartinez-qp7zy]

Is there a way to keep your linen guayabera from instantly getting wrinkled after taking a seat?

[@paco680]

I love this kind of shirts but I can't find them anywhere!! Help please😢

[@jettp3810]

The Filipinos have a similar type of shirt called the barong.

[@certified_street_photographers]

Jett P everytime I see a guayabera it always reminds me of barong .

[@leowtyx]

Hi Antonio, you think I could/should wear Guayabera when I go to Vegas in 2 weeks?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

leowtyx Sure.

[@leowtyx]

Real Men Real Style Thx! Cool that you answers even at midnight!

[@Argonics]

Hey Antonio, great video! However, this video is almost 10 years old now. Perhaps it might the time to post an updated take on this subject? Would love to get your more recent thoughts and opinions on this shirt in 2023. Thanks!

[@josuelitos]

Guayaberas are very popular in Puerto Rico. They have been for many generations.

[@AntilleanConfederation]

Guayabera is Cuban. Mexicans from Yucatán used to go to Havana for business and they adopted the style. The reason the Philippines has something similar is due to it being closely related to Spanish soldier uniform from imperial Spain. But the guayabera is originally Cuban.

[@golfalpha284]

We also need to talk about how to pronounce guayabera

[@marvinsatparam5333]

Im here because of Lalo in Better call saul, thanks for this vid

[@Castellan_Chris]

Huh I dunno...short sleeve untucked buttoned shirts with the "tuxes" reminds me of Nat Nast style bowling shirt. Might as wear a bowler hat with cigar to complete the look!

[@redead2450]

Seems they are even popular in south America, we call them shirtjacs in guyana

[@IslenoGutierrez]

No, the guayabera shirt originates from Cuba. I thought everyone knew that.

[@certified_street_photographers]

Tito Torres we also have a similar design in the philippines called barong, it is mostly use in more formal events

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Who wants to be normal? Not me.......

[@AntonioPolanco-h6y]

It comes from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

[@RealMenRealStyle]

There are many men in Mexico, Cuba, Thailand, and Spain who would argue with you on this - as for me, I say they originated in Ukraine. :) that's a joke.......

[@RealMenRealStyle]

:)

[@OriginoThePhenom33]

I wouldn't be comfortable wearing this anywhere except on a beach or in a tobacco field.

[@illdoitlater4208]

Props for pronouncing it properly. Most people pronounce Spanish g's as a g which is wrong.

[@Caraecrika]

lol what? guayaberas are from Puerto Rico and they're most commonly used by old people lol.

[@TheWolfgang72]

"Normal" people wear these shirts all the time, no idea what you're talking about.

[@Pogokoala]

WOW dude lol you can't give credit where credit is due? everyone know it came from Cuba, it even flows Cuban, it well known in Cuba, especially since its very common down here. ugh!

[@click212]

How about pronouncing the "g" in guayabera. Every Latino I have every spoken to, whether from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mejico o any other country in .America Latina pronounces the g. There is no other word beginning with guay that doesn't pronounce that G!!! guatemalteca - guatemalteco - guateque - guantero - aguaitas - guapetón - guau - guay - guaya - guayaba - aguacate - agua - aguántate. etcétera, etcétera, etcétera!!! Gracias! De nada!

[@octaviomora6300]

what is Mejico??

[@VistaHermosaVideos]

¡México!!!! ¡De nada!

[@nataliesutton4096]
