Philippines Survival Kit: What Clothes to Bring in the Philippines this June

-
Here are some clothes you need to bring this JUNE:

EXPATS:

1. Formal attire (Americana or Barong). If you plan to
travel light, you may buy your clothes at the Mall.
We are known for our Malls.

But... if you size is extra size or extra small, best to
bring your size.


2.  Semi-formal attire. Best to buy in the Philippines,
because the clothes are sewn just right for our weather.

Typically semi-formal attires for men are:

a. Pants in polyester cotton. We do not wear wool
in the Philippines because of our weather. Good kind.

b. Polo or if you really liked to wear t-shirts, make sure you
have wear a blazer for men.

c. Good kind of socks.

d. Leather shoes

3. Smart Casual Attire

Smart casual attire is great when you go around the country.

City Walking:

1. Jeans
2. T-shirts in cotton

Country Walking

1. Pants for men (not too short), or too long.
Just the right fit.

Type of cloth is cotton.

2. T-shirt without collar.

Beach

1. Swim trunks
2. Full swimming attire covering the navel part - this is
in case there are jelly fishes around. Watch out for them.

LADIES

1. Formal Attire

This depends on the occasion, you may wear a gown or a
"terno". Best to buy in the Philippines.

2. Semi Formal Attire

Safest side is usually an office attire. Skirt and blouse with
collar, leather shoes.

If you opt wearing ladies pants, not too tight to tell them you are
a lady, not to loose to show them you are a woman.  Best to cover
cleavages as this give wrong signals.

3. Casual Attire

Jeans (not too tight or too loose), feminine walking flip flops or
feminine rubber shoes, walking shoes.

Feminine t-shirts (no cleavage shown especially for the teens to
avoid giving wrong signals - I hope you know what I mean.).

4. Beach Attire

Bathing suit that covers the navel part, to avoid jelly fish
catastrophe. Two piece swimsuit is not advisable this upcoming
June till August.

5. Foot wear

Formal Attire: leather shoes
Semi-formal attire: synthetic leather or leather shoes.
Casual attire: walking shoes (synthetic leather or leather), flip flops (Islander is the best so far), rubber shoes
Beach Attire: rubber slippers

Should you stay at a short term stay in Novaliches, there are lots of places where you can buy clothes at a super cheap price. If you want branded clothes there are also malls nearby which can fit you.
Unless your size is extra exotic, best to bring your size then.
