Cancun Poolside Outfits: Women and Men

For Cancun pool outfits, combine practicality and color. We love a bold swimsuit for Cancun. Men and women should experiment with neon touches that’ll really pop against the sparkling pools and ocean. Sandals are a must to prevent burning your soles on hot sand and pavement. To keep your eyes safe from Cancun’s serious sunshine, wear a floppy sun hat or a pair of polarized sunglasses. Finally, you’ll need a beach bag or anti-theft dry bag to stash your chemical-free sunscreen, room key, and latest beach read. Looking good and dressing smart, that’s your Cancun pool outfit motto.

What to wear during the day at your all-inclusive resort? Even the most luxurious all-inclusive Cancun resorts are pretty casual during the day. Women can opt for a floral-print dress and walkable wedge sandals. Don’t forget a lightweight cardigan if you’re dining indoors (air-conditioning is chillier than you think!). Men can go for a nice pair of khaki shorts and a high-quality t-shirt, dressed up a bit with a pair of comfy boat shoes. Keep the accessories to a minimum, like with a waterproof watch or small pair of hoop earrings. P.S. some of these pieces will do double duty at a trip to Chichen Itza.

A night out at one of Cancun’s notoriously fun nightclubs is basically a vacation requirement. Coco Bongo, Senor Frog’s, and The City are all known for fun dance floors, icy margaritas, and crowds of people looking to have a fun time. But, what to wear to Cancun’s nightclubs? Women should pack a floral wrap dress and open-toe black sandals — easy to salsa dance in, and super cute. Men must adhere to stricter Cancun nightclub dress codes. We suggest a vacation-ready gingham check button-down with a pair of navy blue dress pants and derby shoes (no shorts or open-toed shoes allowed for men in most Cancun clubs).
