the above posts are correct indeed. Regrettably because the 'embargo' runs in both directions (be it goods or information), in the US we deem Cuba to be stuck pre-59 (true for most Cuban-Americans and Americans) with the linen suits and fedoras in which case it's like wearing a tuxedo to work in the US/CA. Stick to simple with a mild sprezzatura if you must. In light of the needs of the populace anything else will be deemed inappropriate which is something I don't believe you intend.

Watch "Lost City" if want to see Cuba of yesteryear.

Go to Puig in Miami if you want the best custom made guayabera in the US if not the world. That will get you far.
