What is the deal with the women waring big belts wright under there tits is that to hold them up?
Do:
for women-wear big giant sunglasses, knock off Chanel watches, gaudy jewelry, underwear under your swimsuit at the beach, "luxurious" handbag with nothing in it, solely for appearances and too much makeup.
for men-wear loafers, khaki pants and a pastel colored polo shirt. Or a suit with a white shirt and tie(with complementary brown shoes, no matter what color the suit).
If you re a man, hopefully your suit matches but frequently it doesnt. So you wind up with a oversized blazer worn with dress pants, one of the two being wrinkled, with a light colored shirt, so when the camera picks up your image you look like a walking box of Neapolitan ice cream.
And jeans. Jeans for all. Weird Jeans with no pockets. Weird Jeans with belt loops over the ass. Weird jeans with custom rips in them. Weird skinny leg jeans. But only blue jeans, never black jeans. Not stonewash, acidwash or treated, those make you look poor. Only dark blue jeans.

Meh, I don't follow fashion trends, I wear whatever, my favorite pair of sneakers cost me 15 dollars, every time I walk into PUCMM everyone looks exactly the same, 5 o'clock shadow, a cap, a tight button up, and skinnyish jeans, I just don't get it, I also don't get paying 150 dollars for one shirt.
Please make sure and get the footwear in the pictures. Open toes pumps, clear heels, pointy toe boots,,,
Please. Don't make me laugh. The Dominican elites and the "wannabes" (middle class) get their fashion cues from Europe and the US......just like in every other Latin American country. Perhaps more from Europe since the elite are so busy trying to emulate the Spaniards. God knows the quality of clothes just cannot compare, despite prices being higher for name brand stuff.
The difference, at least in the US, is that the fashion trend for the upper class and wealthy is to "dress down", even though the "crappy" and worn looking jeans they have on cost US$200 plus. In any event, it is pretty much standard for guys to wear a pressed collared shirt, jeans, and dark shoes (a must) to the club in most major cities. The only difference I noted in the pictures was that the girls were slightly more dressed up than your average American girl. But again, depending on the city and state it really depends.
I believe the Dominicans dress very badly for the climate here but much of it is dictated by lack of money so there is a good excuse .
I am told that I dress well by my friends and I feel very comfortable but am fortunate that I can afford it .I live in Zona Colonial and in the day time when shopping in the Ave Mella or Ave Duarte zones I wear long shorts that stop at the calf , I wear a short sleeve shirt but seldom a polo which I think are mainly for sports and I wear solid sandals. At night , if I am eating at a Zona Colonial or Gazcue restaurant or home I wear a long sleeve shirt and dark linen or light cotton trousers with black shoes.
There are occasions mainly in the day or if I go to the pictures that I will wear khaki trousers with a lighter colour shirt but I think the lighter colour clothes are better suited in resorts or coastal towns .
Apart from my long shorts,I believe my dress code is typical of Dominicans who live or inhabit the Zona Colonial area and probably those people living in the Piantini Lincoln , Churchill areas

my impression of PUCMM students:
girls, s**tloads of makeup. shame, really, as many seem to be naturally pretty. i will never understand this need to slap as much paint on as humanly possible
boys, i cannot say. they all seemed to look the same to me.
i have not seen anyone scruffy or grunge come to think of it i cannot remember ever seeing a dominican heavy metal fan (AC/DC shirt, long hair, martens and so on) nor a punk (mohawk hair, red jeans, sex pistols style). no skinheads either but it may be that white power is not very popular here

Only a Jazz concert!!??
Oi!
Steady on!!!!
When I played Covent Garden I wore a tux or a Zoot Suit depending on the function.
When I played Ronnie Scott's I wore a tux.
Hahahaha! A tuxedo at a jazz concert. Hahaha! Whats next? Eating a candy bar with a knife and fork? Bowling in ballet shoes? An ocean going cruise ship barbecue?
so far you's have been reasonably safe from
the pants down to the ankle style
my son tried that style ... until we were gouin up an escalator in the subway
told him that's what you look like from behind...he
never did it again
how many of us look back and say
"did i really dress like that when i was younger"
we thought we were so cool....lol

you must be talking about puerto plata PUCMM because, its totally different in santiago. You guys want to see knockout models type girls with natural beauty dripping from them, then come to pucmm in santiago.
AZB
AZB, the women are definitely more attractive in Santiago than in Santo Domingo but you always seem to embellish the beauty of PUCMM girls in Santiago. I took classes there for one summer. They're not that hot man. You can also get natural beauty and exotic mixes in other parts of the DR........better yet go to Brazil. Buenos Aires also has university girls that make PUCMM chicks look like they're in the little leagues in regards to style, fashion, and class. I'm sorry I just enjoy bursting your bubble and that of the stuck up girls in PUCMM that think they're so hot and classy...when in reality they are just pretentious girls lucky enough to live in the bubble that is Santiago.
Hell, you can find just as many hot girls, if not better given the variety, in Los Angeles at USC or UCLA.
