“La Guayabera” is a long sleeved man’s shirt known for its distinctive four pocket design and embroidered front panels.  The shirt is worn out over the pants, not tucked in, and has been popular in Latin American countries for the past two hundred years.  The Guayabera is very popular among businessmen because of its dignified look and has replaced the business suit as formal wear because of its comfort under humid conditions.

Guayabera shirts have gained world prominence in recent years thanks to designers such as Debra Torres, who have added their own unique style to this timelless shirt.  The addition of a wide variety of colors, patterns and materials has made the shirt “everyday wear” for men both young and old.  Its embroidered front panels add to the shirts formal look, making it appropriate for ceremonies such as weddings.  Since the 1700′s “La Guayabera” has been a mainstay in Latin culture and now has spread its charm for the rest of the world to enjoy.
