What to Wear in Tahiti

With such warm temperatures, dress requirements in Tahiti are decidedly casual. Yet, out of respect for the Polynesian locals, you should come prepared to dress. During the day on the outer islands, shorts, bathing suits, or the local pareu (2 yards of cloth wrapped around the body in any of several ways) are acceptable. In the evenings, many hotels do ask the men to wear long pants and a shirt and not be barefooted. Casual shoes, thongs, jeans or slacks and a Polynesian shirt are quite acceptable. A light sundress, slacks or shorts are considered appropriate for the ladies. Between June and September, evenings may occasionally be cool enough to warrant a light sweater. And even though tropical rain showers are refreshing rather than chilling, a lightweight raincoat that folds into a pocket or a purse may also come in handy. Due to the generally mild climate, you’ll find that many of the outer island hotels are not air-conditioned. Colors in the tropics seem brighter than at home and the nights seem darker, therefore, a good pair of dark glasses and a small pocket flashlight for everyone in your party are suggested. And don’t forget your camera, film and favorite sunscreen. If you do find yourself needing more sunscreen, try the local products. We think they are every bit as good as what you have at home and are considerably less expensive than the imported ones. While you’ll find both available in the shops and boutiques, when you consider that the American ones have come thousands of miles by ship and then have a hefty import tax on them, you’ll realize why they are generally more expensive.
