Macau is… a bit of a chameleon. One moment you’re in a sleepy little square with pastel-colored Portuguese houses, and then – bam – you turn a corner and it’s all neon lights and marble-floored casinos.
The first time I went, I packed like I was going to a city break in Europe. Big mistake. I ended up wishing I’d brought more comfy sneakers and less “Instagram brunch” dresses.
You walk a lot in Macau, and the weather can flip from sunny to rainy in minutes. But then, come evening, you might want to slip into something a little sleeker for dinner or the casino. It’s a place where you can go casual by day and dressy by night – and it’s fun to plan outfits for both.
Here are my absolute favorite Macau outfit ideas I’m completely obsessed with atm and I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do!
15+ Macau Outfit Ideas You’ll Love
Denim Vest + White Maxi Skirt + White Sandals
This is that “wander through a Sunday market” outfit that always gets smiles.

Head-to-toe white in the tropics just feels right. It’s fresh, photogenic and keeps you cool even when the humidity decides to test your patience.

Linen is the MVP of tropical dressing. Cool, breathable and unfussy — perfect for grabbing satay skewers at a night market.

A little retro, a lot of fun. I wore this to a rooftop bar in Kuala Lumpur and matched my mocktail to my top without even planning it.

Playful and picnic-ready. Ideal for a lazy afternoon in the park or a casual café hop in KL.
Black Pleated Mini Skirt + White Graphic Tee + Red Adidas Sambas

Black Vest Top + Black Ballerinas + White Maxi Skirt
Monochrome never fails. Works for temple visits, art galleries or a sunset dinner by the water.
Light Blue Baggy Jeans + White Cute Summery Graphic Shirt
Easy, breezy and perfect for travel days. This look carried me comfortably through a five-hour bus ride and straight to street food heaven.

Sweet and casual with a hint of Y2K. Great for brunch with friends followed by a little souvenir shopping.
Monochrome White Linen Outfit + Light Blue Button-Down Shirt
All-white linen with a pop of blue is the ultimate tropical style move.
FAQ:
What do people wear in Macau?
Mostly casual pieces – jeans, shorts, t-shirts, flowy dresses, sneakers. But in the evenings, especially near the big hotels and casinos, you’ll see people looking more polished.
What is the dress code for Macau?
Daytime? Pretty relaxed. Nighttime? Depends where you’re going. A lot of casinos and fancy restaurants prefer smart-casual – so no beach flip-flops or sports shorts.
What should I pack for Macau?
A mix. Sneakers or comfy shoes for walking, a couple of light outfits for the day, and one or two “going out” looks for evenings.
I always throw in a light jacket – air-con in Macau can feel like winter.
What clothes to wear in Hong Kong?
Very similar to Macau. Comfortable and casual for the day, then a little more polished at night. Hong Kong also loves air-conditioning, so again, a light jacket or cardigan is your friend.
Can you wear shorts in Macau casinos?
Sometimes yes, but if you’re heading to the fancier ones, it’s better to go with long pants or a nice dress. Think “night out” rather than “beach day.”
How do girls dress in China?
In bigger cities – trendy, modern, a lot like Western street style. In smaller towns, it’s often more modest.
Macau’s style is a mix: you’ll see chic dresses, casual denim, and everything in between.
