We noticed that most locals wear long pants in Medellin and John explains why he prefers wearing shorts!🤣 He ”thinks” has great legs because of all his running. All joking aside, most locals prefer blue jeans, but it really isn’t a problem to wear whatever you want. With year round high temperatures in the 80’s, shorts is the right answer for us.
Great Legs 🤣: Should you Wear Long Pants in Medellin, Colombia
In Medellín, Colombia, choosing to wear long pants largely depends on personal preference, planned activities, and the time of year. Medellín enjoys a moderate climate due to its elevation, with temperatures typically ranging from comfortable to slightly warm throughout the year. While many locals and visitors opt for long pants for various reasons, such as cultural norms, fashion preferences, or cooler evenings, others may feel comfortable in shorts or skirts, especially during the warmer months.
Additionally, long pants might offer protection against sun exposure, insects, or vegetation if you plan to explore higher elevations or engage in activities like hiking. Ultimately, it’s advisable to check the weather forecast and consider your itinerary and comfort level when deciding whether to wear long pants in Medellín, ensuring you are prepared for the prevailing conditions and cultural contexts during your visit.
