The guayabera is the favored shirt of many South American countries. The boxy fit, shoulder yoke and banded hem are standard, and the traditional pin-tucking gives formality to a casual style, making it a perfect choice for celebrating. Made in a small workshop near Hidalgo, Mexico.

Costume designer Seth Bodie dip-dyed a small selection of guayberas, and then decorated them with vintage Afghani beaded patches purchased from a carpet dealer. Each combination is unique.
