Don't get turned away: The exposition dress code

Kimberly Colaco

KEEP IT CLASSY, NOT STRAPPY

Goa has many religious sites to visit besides its famous beaches. When you visit, please dress appropriately to maintain decorum and respect the sanctity of the place.

GRACEFUL AND GROUNDED

Keep the strappy clothes for a nice day at the beach and pack something modest which you can wear at religious sites.

KEEP IT COOL AND COVERED

While Goa is known for its relaxed atmosphere, the exposition calls for respect and elegance. Let's avoid revealing clothing like crop tops.

MODESTY MATTERS

Though it may not be mandatory, it is always considered a sign of respect if women consider wearing a headscarf or some other clothing item to cover the head.

STAY COMFORTABLE

The weather will be extremely hot during the days. Hence, it is advisable to wear loose cotton clothes to keep cool.

MEN, SHORT PANTS ARE A NO-NO

The warm weather may incline you to wear shorts in Goa, but at the Basilica, this will draw disapproving looks.

COMFY SHOES

Wear shoes that are practical and comfortable, anticipating all the walking and standing you will have to do.
