If you are heading to Barbados for a trip, whether it is a holiday or pleasure it is imperative that you come prepared with the correct clothes. It kind of gets hot in Barbados all year round and for me having the correct clothes should be an essential part of your planning for your trip.
Barbados Dress Code Tips:
Beach Wear:
There are no nudist or topless beaches in Barbados, so you will need to bring either a swimming shorts or trunks for the guys and either a bikini or swimsuit for the ladies. Guys if you intend on wearing swimming trunks get a second opinion as to whether you look good in them or if your are going to be laughing stock on the beach. Ladies if you have big belly and need to lose some weight, give the bikini a miss.
As I mentioned earlier there is no topless beaches in Barbados, yet form time to time at the various beaches here, you will see these out of shape 40+ British or American ladies who will every chance they get flash there out of shapes boobs on the beach. I’m not sure if it is some sort of mating ritual to try and attract a rent a man for a few weeks. Here is some free advice, you do not need to flash, you will find a rent a man, no problem, there are lots of them going about, they will find you no matter how out of shape and ugly you are!
Day Wear:
I would say the best clothes you could wear during the day, when you are on trips or tours, is to wear a loose pair of lightweight shorts and a vest, because believe me it gets real hot during the day.
During the day whether at the beach or on trips I would recommend a pair of sunglasses, hat, sun block and suntan lotion. I know from experience that even when the sun isn’t shining, that it is easy to get burnt, if you do not take precautions. Also I think crocs are ideal for footwear, they are great for the both the beach and daytime walking about.
Eveningwear:
The last thing you want to be wearing during the evening in Barbados is a pair of jeans. Guys I would recommend either a nice pair of shorts or lightweight trousers and a loose cotton or linen shirt, and it goes without saying loose boxer shorts. For the ladies what about a lightweight cotton or linen dress, with not much underneath to keep you cool.
If you find a restaurant that expects you to wear a shirt and tie and a jacket, I would recommend that you go find somewhere else to eat.
Even though the temperature cools down a wee bit once the sun has set in Barbados, you have to remember you are in the Caribbean it still stays fairly all the time no matter what the time of the day is.
Business Wear:
If you are on the island for business I would recommend wearing short sleeved shirt and lightweight suit, ladies dress elegantly and make sure your clothes are lightweight.
Always carry a hankie when out at night or on a business meeting, they are great for wiping the sweat from your forehead.
When in Barbados if you dress properly for the heat that you will experience and take the proper precautions to prevent sun damage to your skin, you should have an excellent trip. One last piece of advice that you will have heard a thousand times, drink plenty of cool fruit juices and water to prevent dehydration.
