All about Barbados

The best clothes to take are light cotton summer wear.
In higher class hotels and restaurants special evening wear is required, not necessarily a tie for men though. Don’t wear tiny shorts or bathing suits on the street or in the city, forget going to the beach without anything on. The usually friendly police will intervene if they see you without any clothes on. Useful is a light jumper or jacket for climatised rooms. Take rain-protection and firm shoes if you like walking.
In Bridgetown or Speightstown or Sunset Crest there are some shops where you can buy pretty dresses made from light material, T-Shirts with Barbados printings to take home and also swimming fashion, often the shops are sweet little chattel-styled huts.
