What To Wear In Ghana
To sum it up - Relaxed but dress for the heat
- Ghanaian women wear both traditional and western clothes and there are no restrictions on what can be worn.
- Ghana is a tropical country with a warm/hot climate all year round. Our advice would be to pack lightweight layers in natural fabrics; linen, cotton and silk.
- Shorts are acceptable here for both men and women but we suggest that you keep them longer, as showing your stomach or upper thighs is considered inappropriate.
- If you are staying in upscale hotels or resort, you'll feel much more comfortable if you've packed a smart casual outfit for dinner. However, leave your high heels at home in favour of glamorous flat sandals.
- Comfortable walking shoes are a must.
