Hermosillo - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?

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


It's your normal consulate/not-embassy dress code. Women wear dresses, and guys wear slacks and ties (slacks can include chinos). - Aug 2015


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


Business casual for most professional activities. Certain events and activities are business formal. - Feb 2008
