It may have been this forum, but I can't exactly remember where I read a reference to men wearing shorts in the DR. It was said that Dominicans view men in shorts as "girlie pants".
I'm not your average close minded American. I open myself up to other cultures and customs, but this seems to be a bit stupid to me. As hot as the weather is in the DR, why would someone want to wear long pants all the time? You won't catch me out at night or at dinner in shorts, but you better believe I will wear nothing but shorts during the day.
