Vietnam is one of those places where you think you’ve packed light… and then you still end up wearing the same comfy thing three days in a row. It’s hot, sometimes humid, and then suddenly you’re up in the mountains and you wish you had a jacket.

My first trip, I brought way too many “cute” outfits that looked great in the mirror but felt awful after walking around in the heat for two hours.

The real trick are light layers, breathable fabrics, and pieces you can mix and match without thinking. And comfy shoes – you’ll thank yourself later.

Here are my absolute favorite Vietnam outfit ideas I’m completely obsessed with atm and I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do for your next trip!

FAQ:

How to dress when visiting Vietnam?

Light, airy, easy. Think loose cotton shirts, linen trousers, flowy dresses. And if you’re visiting temples, you’ll need to cover shoulders and knees – I kept a scarf in my bag just for that.

What kind of clothes do they wear in Vietnam?

Honestly, a mix. In cities, you’ll see everything from jeans and T-shirts to cute sundresses. In rural areas, it’s more modest.

And in tourist spots? Pretty much anything goes, but people still look neat.

What kind of clothing is popular in Vietnam?

Practical pieces that works for the climate – flowy blouses, light pants, sandals. Locals love bright colors and patterns too, especially at markets and festivals.

Do I need long pants for Vietnam?

Not for every day, but yes for certain spots – temples, nicer restaurants, cooler mountain areas. I brought one pair of loose, light trousers and ended up wearing them way more than I thought I would.

Can girls wear shorts in Vietnam?

Totally fine in most places. Just skip them for temples or anywhere more traditional. I lived in a pair of high-waist cotton shorts in Hoi An and nobody batted an eye.

Should I take toilet paper to Vietnam?

Yep. Not every public restroom will have it. I kept a small pack of tissues in my bag at all times – lifesaver.
