Despite common misconceptions, there are not only guayaberas for men, but also a wide range of guayaberas for women with styles tailored to the female figure and feminine fashion. These designs preserve the elegance that characterizes the garment.

For years, the formal guayabera was marketed solely as a tasteful item for men's fashion, offering a wonderful option for men in Latin America to dress elegantly and simply.

Breaking away from this reality, Ramón Puig made the decision years ago to manufacture a line of guayaberas that women can have in their closets as an excellent option for dressing with elegance, distinction, and above all, comfort.

The guayabera for women is part of our product catalog. But before you go to see the different designs on our website, wouldn't you like to know what the characteristics and advantages of the guayabera for women are?

If the answer is "yes," continue reading and find out everything you need to know about guayabera for women.

Welcome!

Characteristics of Guayaberas for Women: What Should I Know?

Guayaberas for women have a composition and purpose quite similar to those made for men.

On one hand, the guayabera for women was created so that women could share the tradition, history, and freshness that a guayabera provides in a modern outfit.

Likewise, this type of clothing is made from natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, and synthetic materials that can be blended with natural threads.

On the other hand, the major difference lies in the shirt's cut.

The guayabera for women maintains the structure with vertical embroideries on the front, central buttons, and four front pockets, but the side cut of the guayabera is more fitted to the body to adapt more comfortably to the female form.

Another detail is the sleeveless guayabera variant. This option helps accentuate the arms of the woman wearing it and provides an extra dose of freshness, especially on those scorching summer days.

Furthermore, if you opt for this variant, Ramón Puig suggests that you accessorize with bracelets/watches or a few decorations around the curved neckline like a necklace, to highlight both the garment and the outfit.

Of course, our guayabera for women also comes in classic long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions, ready to be worn according to the occasion.

What's the Best Occasion to Wear a Guayabera for Women?

The tradition of guayaberas applies to ladies too! A vintage Cuban guayabera is a highly versatile choice because you can wear it for both formal and informal events alike.

For casual situations, we recommend wearing a relaxed short-sleeved white linen guayabera with light pants and an accessory you like to complement this winning outfit.

If the heat is more intense than usual, you can opt for the light blue sleeveless guayabera from Ramón Puig with dark blue jeans. A fail-safe formula!

Now, if you're attending a formal or semi-formal event, go for a light-colored long-sleeve linen women's shirt in shades like light blue or pink to convey serenity, formality, and beauty to those accompanying you.

As an additional tip: don't go for a guayabera for women that fits too snugly; you can opt for a slightly larger size to make the garment more comfortable.

Conclusions: Should I Wear It?

Initially, if your intention is to preserve comfort in your clothing and easily adapt to the elegance required by the event, the answer is a resounding yes.

The guayabera for women is a unique and versatile garment that can be worn to any event. However, we recommend wearing it preferably when the occasion is in warm weather.

Moreover, we've seen that thanks to its various designs, colors, and versions, it's a highly useful choice that you must have in your closet for the remainder of this year, 2023.
