Clothes Recommendations & Packing List:
|
Tops: T-shirts of beach style, sleeveless shirts, tank tops and dresses are all recommended. Try to choose light colored tops, which absorb less heat. Light blue, light purple and light green are more desirable because mosquitoes tend to ignore these colors. White is also fine. Moreover, a swimming suit or bikini is the ideal outfit for beach activities.
Bottoms: Beach shorts or skirts are great options. Or you can wear light pants, and cotton and linen ones are the best. You can prepare several pairs of shoes including at least a pair of slippers or sandals and a pair of sneakers or slip-ons.
Other Items: Effective sunscreen products like sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen cream are old talks but you will definitely need them. Mosquitoes are disturbing, so you either wear long-sleeved tops and pants, or bring enough mosquito repellent. Mentholated balm helps a lot if you’ve already been bitten by mosquitoes.
