Singapore is the quintessential tropical island, with a warm and humid climate all year round. Save the woollies for back home - light and summer clothing rule! Casual dress is accepted for most situations but some establishments like restaurants and clubs may require a more formal dress code. It is advisable to check for dress regulations beforehand.

Some educational institutions have a minimum dress regulation, such as no shorts and slippers in lecture theatres. Students at primary and secondary schools as well as junior colleges have to wear uniforms which should be purchased before the commencement of classes.

Many indoor places are air-conditioned to provide relief from the heat, so if you are going to be indoors for a long period of time and find the temperature slightly chilly, you may wish to bring a sweater or jacket.
