What to Pack for Costa Rica (February–April) This 18+ outfit travel capsule wardrobe was built for Costa Rica’s dry season, when days are hot, sunny, and active—and evenings stay warm but casual. Expect daytime highs in the mid-80s°F to low-90s°F, with nights in the low-70s°F. Rain is minimal in February and March, with a slightly higher chance of short showers in April. I focused on breathable, quick-dry fabrics, sun coverage, and pieces that work for beach days, light hiking, towns, and casual dinners without overpacking. You’ll notice lightweight tanks and tees, easy shorts and cropped pants, and airy dresses that can handle heat without feeling fussy. A light rain shell is a smart choice for surprise showers or breezy boat days, and long-sleeve layers helps with sun protection and cooler mornings in higher elevations. Footwear stays practical: supportive sneakers or hikers, walkable water-friendly sandals for excursions. Not headed to Costa Rica? This capsule also works well for Belize, Panama, southern Mexico, Hawaii, the Florida Keys, or the Caribbean—any warm destination where heat, humidity, and active days call for functional clothing that still looks pulled together. Here’s your packing list for Costa Rica: ➡️ 6 Tops: breathable tanks and tees + two lightweight long-sleeve ➡️ 4 Bottoms: quick-dry skorts + shorts + lightweight cropped pants ➡️ 2 Dresses: easy, heat-friendly styles ➡️ 2 Swim Sets appropriate for active days in the water ➡️ 1 Outer Layer: packable rain jacket ➡️ 2 Shoes: supportive sneakers/hikers, walkable water friendly sandals ➡️ Accessories: sun hat, sunglasses, lightweight tote, crossbody and backpack Everything mixes and matches into more than 18 outfits, and the best part — it all fits in your carry-on suitcase. ⭐️ My travel capsules are created using research, personal travel experience, and my own style preferences. I do my best to account for weather and real-life travel needs, but every trip is different. Use these as a fun starting point, not rigid rules. Take what works, leave what doesn’t, and make it your own. LTKTravel LTKOver40
