As the winter continues to drag on, a quick trip to a tropical location is the easiest to save your sanity. Recently, on a family trip to Puerto Rico (my wife's family is from there), I took a stroll through Old San Juan to basque in the sun and of course the beautifully painted facades of the buildings.
Being my second trip to P.R., I've had the imprint of the these vibrant colors in my head for some time. So, I knew that packing at least one look inspired by these hues would be the right move.
Find colors and patterns that complement your skin and also the location. This isn't really a time for novelty shirts with big lobsters all over them.
Skip the light wash (almost white) linen pants and opt of a deeper wheat color. Also, remember a tailoring goes a long way, so taper those pants from the knee down. It's called a progressive taper.
