Very casual, even for special occasions. It's really hot and humid here. - Feb 2020


Business casual. If not in the office you can essentially wear anything you'd wear in the US in the summer. It's always hot here. - Aug 2019


More relaxed than in other parts of Colombia (the Caribbean influence). Women tend to wear tight clothes and high heels. Men sometimes wear ties, but almost never jackets. - Mar 2012
