Picking Clothes Appropriate to the Location

Whether your agenda of the weekend trip is just to relax or explore, Goa is not just about the beaches but is home to several churches, villages, temples, and waterfalls. So, you will require a capsule wardrobe that fits this versatile travel itinerary.

Factors to consider for the right wardrobe

Weather – Goa is primarily sunny and humid in the summers and breezy and cool in the winters.

Adventure Sports – If you plan to participate in activities such as trekking, you might want to pack a pair of trekking shoes, shorts, and t-shirts for the trip.

Beaches- Beachwear such as dresses, sarongs, swimsuits, etc.

Dress Code – Visiting historical attractions, churches and temples require following respective dress codes accordingly.

The Weekend Packing List Goes Like This:
Whether you're the kind of person who likes sun-bathing, swimming around in the sea, or lying on the shacks with a beer, soaking in the sun beach times are the ultimate bliss days. In the surreal background that Goa portrays, you want an outfit that will make you feel comfortable, confident, and ready for a picture at the drop of a hat.

Clothing

T-Shirts

Take a few cotton and linen t-shirts and tank tops that can be layered under any cover-all and are ideal for grabbing a beer at a beach shack and walking around beach lanes.

Shirts
When you club or dine out at a luxury hotel, Shirts fit the profile. Dressy shirts, printed shirts, linen shirts, and classic button-down collared shirts go well with all kinds of trousers and shorts styles. Opt for loose shirts for comfortable and humidity-free wear. You can play around with the million combinations shirts provide. e.g. wear printed shirts with plain shorts or chinos.

Shorts
If you like comfort wear, then shorts come in handy. Trousers or jeans are a hassle due to the heat and sand at the beach, making shorts your best companion here. Pack 2-3 pairs of shorts and match them with t-shirts, shirts, or tank tops.

Breathable Pants
If you aren’t comfortable wearing shorts or are exploring a religious place, good pair of linen pants or cotton pants work extensively. You can wear baggy pants, dhotis, etc., and experiment with your style.

Beachwear
Beaches and water sports all call for comfortable swimwear. Here you will need fabrics that dry out fast and don’t soak in all the water.

Swimsuits and Bikini
For all the infinity pool lovers and ocean swim bodies, vibrant coloured swimwear will be worth trying out.

Swimming Shorts
If you plan to swim in the ocean, carrying swimming shorts or trunks is necessary. Blended polyester or nylon fabrics are best as they are quick to dry.

Coveralls
Cotton Sarongs and light wrap tops and wrap skirts are perfect for beach walks. These cover you from the chilled breeze and don’t get sand stuck on them. They add the extra style quotient to the swimwear and easily fit in any bag.

Footwear
Flip Flops
Pack a pair of crocs, or flip flops are a must for beachy Goa. You can wear this footwear that is perfect for their use as sand falls off quickly from the rubber soles, and you will feel comfortable walking long distances throughout the trip.

Sneakers or Casual Shoes
If you plan to visit the clubs and casinos in Goa, then carry a pair of formal shoes. Good sneakers or converse styled shoes go well with any clothing. While venturing to premium hotels, churches, casinos and clubs, these pairs of shoes will be required.
If you plan to do local sightseeing or some short hike, wear a comfortable pair of shoes or sneakers. Flip flops are not the best option for extended walking, and you might slip, especially if it rains in the region.

Looks To Try Out

Crop top with a maxi skirt

A go-to and chic dressing style during a beach vacation. It's easy-breezy and stylish at the same time.

Playsuit and Fanny pack
If you're the girl who is always on the move, playsuits offer free movement and comfort and complete the look with minimal accessories.

Crop Top and Bikini
If you are a fan of the bikini tribe, this outfit is perfect for you instead of a swimsuit. You just have to add a crop top to the bikini and slide in shorts. You are ready to chill at the bar across the beach.

Slip Dresses and Maxis
A flowy and breezy maxi or a slip dress looks elegant on the beaches. Cotton, Floral Prints, paisley prints, and solid coloured slip dresses work well with the tropical vibe.

Tropical Print Shirt with Shorts and Loafers
A pop of palm leaves printed button-down shirts of good cotton adds to the tailored shorts. A perfect pair of wayfarers and loafers match seamlessly to the beach look.
