Singapore – What To Pack

Know what to bring on your trip to Singapore before you go. Here are some tips.

Luggage

No matter what you have planned for your Singaporean adventure, these luggage options are ideal for a short or long-term stay.

Clothing

Singapore is a tropical country, and light clothing should be comfortable enough. When going to hot and humid Singapore, it’s best to bring extra light colored t-shirts and athletic or jogging shorts rather than dark colored shirts or jeans, since dark colored shirts tend to absorb heat. You won’t need any winter clothes any time of the year here, but you should bring more changes of clothing than you think you’ll need. The heat and humidity cause many people to sweat more than usual, especially if you’re not used to the weather.

If you plan to go into any shopping centers for any length of time, you may want a light sweater or jacket. The air conditioning in Singapore’s shopping centers is quite strong.
