What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?
Work dress code is business casual, and I emphasize casual. Formal dress can be required for events or when visitors are in town. - Sep 2024
Underrated part of post. I have worn a suit coat once or twice in a year. I wear slacks, dress shoes, and a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Very business casual city. - Sep 2022
Generally people tend to dress on the more casual side, primarily due to the heat. - Sep 2022
Dress code everywhere is halfway between casual and work clothing. There is no annual Marine Ball (no Marines at post), but there are other non-consulate dress up opportunities. - Aug 2022

Mexican women are no joke. They look put together all the time. Men generally are business-casual when at work and jeans with boots and button-down shirts otherwise. - Apr 2013
Relaxed. Men often wear jeans and a button-down shirt and suits are almost never worn except in the most formal of occasions. The summer heat makes anything more than khakis and a short-sleeved shirt unbearable. - Dec 2009
