Do you often wonder what clothes to put in your suitcase for a trip to Vietnam? You must prepare your suitcase to avoid problems at Vietnam Customs or along your trip. A backpack is always advisable, and a suitcase essential.

First of all, what kind of clothing will you need for a trip to Vietnam? Well, when the weather is hot in the Mekong Delta in the south, it can get very cold in the northern mountains at the same time. If you plan to visit the whole country, you’ll need light clothing to visit the south and much warmer clothes for the north. A swimsuit will also be useful in the mythical Halong Bay. In order to enter the temples and religious places, you must wear clothes that cover your arms and legs. Good hiking shoes are also a must.

From June to October: it's summer in Vietnam, pack summer-like clothes. Pack some swimsuits for a seaside holiday.
From November to March: It is winter in northern Vietnam, temperatures can drop to 8°C, bring warm and waterproof clothing for November to February but only a pullover in October, March or April . However, in the South, the climate is pleasant with temperatures of 22°C to 30°C.
