‘What to wear in Maldives?’ It is a familiar question often asked in forums. If you are planning to visit the spectacular island of the Maldives, then it becomes imperative that you know what kind of clothing you must wear in Maldives. Since this splendid island mostly experiences hot and humid climate throughout the year, it is recommended that you checkout some cool options of light clothing in natural and breathable fabrics like cotton, linen or silk.

Temperature is comparatively warm during the daytime; so, packing a wide edged hat is not a bad option at all- trendy and comforting. Bikinis are very much accepted for the females, but mind it, the country is strictly against nudity as it is against topless sunbathing.

Usually people in beachwear are discouraged to enter the hotels and restaurants. Dressing up in smart and relaxing casuals is considered the order of the day. For men, basically, smart tailored shirts with full length or 3/4th trousers made up of lightweight material is advised, while ladies can be seen wearing almost everything ranging from shorts with smart tees to long flowing dresses or skirts.

However, if you are looking forward to some sort of adventurous water-sport activities, then make sure to take along your dive shoes for the corals are quite strong.

It should be carefully noted that Maldives has its own set of specific rules for the dress code that you must check out prior to packing your bags. It is necessary to ensure that you are dressed in decent clothing so that you do not offend the customs and social norms of the Maldivians.

Once you have taken care of all these things, there is a extensive bunch of adventure and scenic beauty awaiting your arrival to present to you blessed times ahead.
