Traveling to Singapore, as to any unfamiliar part of the world, can seem daunting. One question all travelers have concerns what to wear. Here are some suggestions.
Singapore is in a tropical climate. Therefore, you should pack clothes for hot, humid conditions. According to the National Environmental Agency, the temperatures average 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) during the day and 81 degrees F (26 degrees C) at night for most of the year, except for December and January, when temperatures average 84 degrees F (28 degrees C) during the day and 76 degrees F (23 degrees C) at night.
Therefore, be prepared and take only warm weather clothing: lightweight cotton shirts are best, paired with khaki trousers or shorts for men and shorts or a flowing skirt for women. Bring a light sweater as some businesses cope with heat and humidity by using the air conditioning at the highest setting. Also bring an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun as well as from the rain, which falls almost daily throughout the year but is especially heavy between November and January, the monsoon season.
Because of the hot, humid weather, most people, native and traveler alike, dress casually. However, that is not to say that sloppiness is encouraged. Because a significant portion of the population is Muslim, women should dress modestly (that is, no short skirts or shorts, no spaghetti straps or tube tops etc.). While sleeveless shirts are generally acceptable, capped sleeves will generally result in better treatment for women travelers. Women should bring along at least one nice dress for evenings out, religious services or other special events. For the same reason, men should bring along at least one dress shirt, tie and suit coat.
Many travelers suggest that women should bring along a pashmina, a long scarf or wrap that can serve many purposes: It can be used to cover the shoulders or hair for religious services. It can also be used as a cover up at the beach or in air-conditioned spaces. When not in use, it makes an attractive belt or overskirt.
As with any trip, comfortable walking shoes are essential in Singapore. Especially if you plan to do a lot of walking around on your date with one of our singapore escorts girls. While flip-flops are generally acceptable, you may want to bring along other shoes, depending on your itinerary. For example, more formal shoes or sandals may be required for business meetings or special events. Athletic shoes or hiking boots may be needed for more adventurous treks into the wild.
While many travelers have a generic list of things they pack on every trip, some items just do not make sense in Singapore. Among these are raincoats, thermal underwear and nylon jackets. These would just go unused and waste space in your luggage that would be better used for storing the many bargains you will find.
One more thing, anything you forget to pack on your trip to Singapore can be easily found upon your arrival to this shopping paradise. You may even find it for a better price than you did at home. In fact, why bring along anything? Get a whole new wardrobe for bargain prices here in Singapore.
