When deciding what to wear to Hong
Kong, keep in mind this a fashion-conscious, designer-conscious city –
particularly amongst the young people.
Generally, older Hong Kong
people dress modestly – no short skirts, no strappy tops nor generally
tight or revealing clothes. However, the same cannot be said about the young!
In the full heat and humidity of summer you will see plenty of camisoles, t-shirts,
and shorts.
Dress well in a smart
casual fashion and you will find you fit in.
Hong Kong's sub-tropical
climate means that you will not need winter clothes for most of the year.
However, if you are staying in a hotel,
we would suggest you take a light sweater or pashmina as the air
conditioning can be fierce.
Loose-fitting, natural
fabrics and layered clothes will work all year round.
We suggest that you favor dark
colors as these are always popular and will mean you will be less
conspicuous.
Jeans are also popular but
probably too uncomfortable in the hottest parts of the year.
People seem to make more of an
effort to dress smartly for dinner in the hotels – so a nice top or
dress, or pants and shirt, and smart shoes, will be useful.
Also be warned – you may be refused
entry at some up-scale restaurants if you do not look smart enough.
If you have been sightseeing, aim to freshen up and change your clothes before
meals.
If you are in Hong Kong on business, then
formal suits are the norm – for both men and women.
If you are looking for a highly
versatile travel jacket to bring along, we recommend the SCOTTeVEST range.
Their range of jackets have been specifically designed with traveling in mind
and include RFID security (to protect your passport information), 23 secure
pockets and personal connectivity integration.
