For females try hoop earings, colorful sundresses and keep your natural hair. No woman in my family wears makeup daily or curl our hair because we embrace our natural beauty and aren't trying to "enhance" anything. We are who we are and shine with confidence. Some of us have green, brown, blue or hazel eyes and look european while others are more bronzed or golden toned with long straight black hair or are morenita. No importa! We all are different and that is what makes the island so beatiful. Enjoy puerto rico and its rich music/dance, food, nature and people. Ay un razon por why se llama La Isla del Encanto!

That's so not right.. I'm from PR and I never see my friends wearing shirts that have the Puerto Rican flag on it. Plus not all Puerto Ricans are tan or stay tanned. Guayaberas got out of style decades ago, only old men use them now.

no no no, let me tell you how to look PR: For gays...sorry guys. cut your hair using a helmet , use a lot of gel, take your eyebrows like a girl, use a tank top, you must look that you have muscles but you actually dont, and every time you can must say: " bendito ", " Mira nene " "Pues mira" etc...., dont forget to use very fashion shades...you know... the one that used to be for girls only but PR use. If you are a girl, get a LOT of gel, get a pony tail, big nails, flowers design on it, big hoops earings..( very important) You must be more masculine than your boyfriend, work for him, have at least 3 kids since its the max the gov will paid, and after you work the whole day watch your bendito nene sitting in the couch watching reggaetton and thinking he is going to be one of them... PLEASE dont forget to put in your car, a PR flag that says, MI ORGULLO,...
