Caribbean style is vibrant. It’s fluid. It’s influential. It’s fun. Caribbean people enjoy the art of having good style. Most Caribbean women never have to look too far for inspiration, it all starts with mom. We’re groomed to look our best as we step out the door, whether it’s designer or not.
Caribbean style is also evolving and bloggers from the region and the diaspora are leading the way in blending their culture and style into their everyday wear. As more Caribbean designers and boutiques from the region are creating and selling fashion pieces with a Caribbean aesthetic, there are stylish Caribbean women at the forefront who are sharing in wearing a mix of regional and international designers.
