What to Wear in Goa for Ladies

1. A Bikini/ Monokini or a Bodysuit

Your luggage is incomplete without a bikini/bodysuit as it's the most essential beach wear for women. Depending on how many days you are going for, the number of bikinis you carry can vary. If you're only going for 2-3 days, 1 bikini/monokini will suffice. If you plan to take a long vacation, carry multiple bikini/bodysuit pieces so you can experiment with different colors and different styles. The one-piece swimsuit is trending more than a bikini these days. And if you prefer a bikini, you can also go for a high waist brief or a scallop bikini. With monokinis, you can go for cut-outs. Someone who is not comfortable exposing too much skin, you can easily wear a monokini with shorts and pull the look off. 

2. Cover-ups and Sarongs

Traditionally, you should be taking along crochet cover-ups and sarongs. But mesh dresses are topping the trend charts currently in beachwear. Black mesh dresses serve as very classy cover-ups on the beach. If you don't prefer spending too much money on sarongs, you can also DIY a sarong by using a long scarf. Or rather, how I do it, you can wear a tie-up top or dress. or a t-shirt dress over your bikini and just take it off when you are on the beach. Don't worry we've got your back when it comes to what to wear in Goa beaches. Summer in Goa can be pinching so don't forget your cover-ups/sarongs.

3. Maxi Dresses, Tshirt Dresses, Skater Dresses, Off-shoulder Dresses

Carry as many dresses as you want. Dresses are the most comfortable piece of clothing when you are in a beach town. They double-serve as cover-ups and as party outfits. You can also adorn a dress and just walk out of your hotel to the market. They are comfortable, trendy, sexy and you don't have to think twice before wearing them anywhere. Try taking more maxi and flowy dresses to keep up with the coastal vibe. A tropical state of mind goes well with floral dresses as well. Experiment more and throw away your basics. If you are wild enough, you can also try a print on print. Striped and slogan t-shirt dresses also go a long way. Maxi Dress is a perfect beach dress to wear in Goa. These dresses also serve as honeymoon dresses to catch your husband's attention - so pack them right away if you're going on a honeymoon to Goa.

4. Don't Go Short On Shorts

The more the merrier, you are going to spoil at least one of your shorts because of salt water. So to be on the safe side, carry n number of shorts. That way, you can wear a different pair everytime you step out. And if by chance, you do spoil a few of them, you don't have to worry about going 'short on shorts'. The best part about shorts is that they are comfortable and Goa is the kind of place where most of the restaurants, clubs, and pubs allow the customers in shorts. If you've got these on your checklist then you know exactly what to wear in Goa. When buying clothes for goa, don't forget to keep your cotton shorts in your luggage.

5. Go offbeat - Pallazos, Harem pants, Mermaid Pants, Dhotis

If you want to go different, and don't want to follow the crowd. Get rid of those shorts I just told you to carry and experiment with different kind of pants. Pair your bikini tops with flowy palazzos with floral prints. If you are in a hippie mood, go for a sports bra and a set of dhoti pants. Ruffle pants are a great way to look different and catch the eye of people with your fashion sense. It's the best option when you don't know what to wear in Goa.

6. Crop tops

When I am traveling to a beach city, I don't count the number of crop tops I am carrying because you never know what you would be needing. And which crop top will perfectly go with which outfit. Crop tops are sisters of bikinis. So if a bikini is not your thing, a crop top will definitely be. Tie-up crop tops make for better swim-wear than swim-suits themselves. Even better, crop tops can serve as party tops at night when you pair them with skirts or pants.

7. Loose T-shirts and Tanks

Tank tops are a must. Don't forget to keep loose t-shirts as well. They make for good friends when all you need to do is roam around in the place of your accommodation, or walk out in the middle of the night to buy a pack of beers from the supermarket. Plus, they are your best companions when you feel chilly on the beach after a swim. Still, haven't figured out what suits the best? Experiment! It's the key to fashion.
