Tips on what to wear in Hong Kong this Summer 🇭🇰

Just came back from Hong Kong (6 - 10 May) & thought I’d give you some tips on what to wear & do a mini compilation of all the fits that I wore during this trip — esp for those that are not sure about what to wear this May ❤️ Use this as a #ootdinspo 😆!

Some tips on what kind of fits to bring to HK:

🍓 1. Bring along a cardigan / jacket

— it gets pretty chilly at night, or if you go to mountain tops (due to the higher altitude). It’s also slightly rainy ☔️ and the malls are pretty cold so this jacket will come in handy. Of course, be sure to pack an umbrella!

🍓 2. Go for padded tops & skorts

— The thing I hate the most about going overseas is that my bras tend to get pretty squashed. Going for padded tops means you can pack a little lighter, and esp because it’s summer time, you will get sweaty which will make the idea of rewearing of bras quite yucky. These padded tops can help you save space & make sure you feel fresh without wearing stanky bras! Additionally, if you want to wear skirts, go for skorts instead! They’ll be more comfortable as you won’t be afraid of zao geng.

🍓 3. Long pants, dresses are a must for party days

— Hong Kong’s party scene is pretty strong — there are several clubs in the district named Lan Kwai Fong. It’s an experience that you’d surely want to experience at least once, so bring along an extra fit that is super for drinks and partying if that’s something you’d like to experience!

🍓 4. Opt for shoes / flats

— There’s quite a bit of walking in Hong Kong and unfortunately, I made the mistake of wearing high chunky heels. I tripped quite a few times and it was pretty tiring on my legs… would recommend you to wear shoes & flats instead, bring shoes esp if you’re going for a hike! (I wore my friend’s shoes for our hike and it was SO comfortable)

And that’s it! I do have quite a few outfits because I went a little crazy on the clothes shopping (bought more than 10 PCs?!!!!) so if you wanna hear which are my must-visit stores in HK, do comment down below! ❤️❤️❤️
