They wear Caribbean style clothing, the women and girls dress is feminine and colorful. Women on the island wear short skirts or tight jeans and a blouse or a T-shirt named a "pull-over" in Cuban slang. Men wear jeans or cotton pants and a T-shirt or a Guayabera, sometimes also written Guayavera, this is a loose men's shirt a popular "Latin clothing" in the Caribbean. The original shirt is also known as the "Mexican Wedding Shirt". Schoolchildren in Cuba wear a uniform. The traditional dress in Cuba has many Spanish influences and is nowadays only a tourist attraction shown in the tourist areas of the Old City. Recognizable Latin styles like tiered ruffled skirts, exaggerated sleeves and brightly colored, embroidered shirts and blouses have had their place in Cuban fashion.
