Answer 3

A guayabera is otherwise known as a Mexican Wedding Shirt. They are common beach wear for men.

And traditionally worn by grooms and groomsmen in weddings, of course. - aloshek, NOV 9, 2009

They are accepted casual wear now. You´ve seen them on TV and never noticed. They are very popular in many beach communities - aloshek, NOV 9, 2009
