Culture

Dress of the world

Clothes tell the story of a place: its weather, history and celebrations.

What the world wears

From the sari of India and the kimono of Japan to the kilt of Scotland, the dashiki of West Africa, the poncho of the Andes, the ao dai of Vietnam and the thobe of the Arab world, traditional dress is still worn with pride at weddings, festivals and everyday life.

Plan before you go

Simple habits that make any trip smoother.

Before you leave

Check that your passport is valid for the whole trip, and look up each country's visa rules on its official government site. Visa rules change, so confirm them close to departure. Keep digital and paper copies of your documents.

Money and health

Carry a card plus a little local cash, and consider travel insurance. Check official health advice for vaccines.

On the road

Respect local customs, dress modestly where asked, and learn how to say hello and thank you.
