Let's Play Dress Up!

Before you embark on this wonderful journey, here are some useful dressing tips:
  • Dress for the (hot) weather! Light clothing would be ideal as temperatures range from 8°F/25°C to 90°F/32°C, with mean humidity at 77%.
  • You could very well sport a tan during the hot and dry months from March to May, so remember to bring your sunblock lotion or tanning oil!
  • During the rainy months from June to October, or if you are setting out for the mountainous areas, never leave home without an umbrella or a rain coat!
  • Comfortable yet sturdy footwear would be useful as traveling around the islands would involve some walking.
  • Informal wear is generally acceptable. Dining establishments and hotels usually do not impose a dress code although shorts and slippers may be deemed inappropriate.
  • On formal occasions, men can either wear the traditional Barong Tagalog or a suit-and-tie.
