What to wear in Goa may vary from a loose maxi dress for the seaside to a sleek bodycon for the music festivals, according to the laid-back mood. Here’s how to dress in Goa and not feel out of place, whether you’re going on a relaxing day of beach hopping or sunbathing at Palolem or an evening of indulgence in Baga’s explosive nightlife.

When you’re prepared to leave the sand, put them over your swimsuit. These are light and airy, and they blend in wonderfully with Goa’s humid environment. They don’t have to be tied like sarongs, and they come in a variety of forms, including kaftans, ponchos, and kimonos.

Nice swimwear is required if you intend to enter the water. And Goa is one of the few areas in the country where fashionable beach attire is tolerated. Have you been putting in long hours at the gym? This is your time to recoup those long hours and show off your achievements. If bikinis make you uneasy, high-waisted bikinis and tankinis are excellent alternatives.

When on a beach break, it is usually advisable to pack textiles that dry up easily. Denim pants not only take a long time to dry, but they can also be uncomfortable in hot weather. Not to forget the sand that will be gushing out of various places for weeks.
