What to Wear in Bali: A Complete Sustainable Beach & Resort Style Guide

Do you know that each year, more than 15 million tourists visit Bali? And, that's obvious! Bali is more than just sun, sand, and surf.

It's a magical island where breathtaking beaches and tropical vibes meet each other. Whether you're planning a honeymoon with your spouse, a quick girls' trip, or the perfect way to end your college homies, Bali can always be on your list.

However, there's always a concern about what to wear in Bali (especially if you're a female). We know women always struggle to find the perfect fit in their wardrobes. Moreover, since the world is rooting for sustainable and chic fashion, finding the right beach fashion is getting tougher.

Worry not, here's a detailed guide on Bali outfit ideas to help pretty women out there.

 

Pro Tips Before You Pack Bali Vacation Outfits

Before you start packing your Bali vacation outfits, here are a few things that you must keep in mind:

 

Bali's climate is tropical on most days. You can expect warm and humid days, or at most, occasional showers.

• Lightweight and breathable fabrics adapt perfectly to the weather. You can think of linen, cotton, and bamboo blends as fine fabric materials you can seek.
• If you're planning to visit temples, we are aware of the local dress codes of Bali. It's important to stay respectful at cultural sites.
• Light, quick-dry fabrics make transitions from water to café seamless (which everyone prefers in Bali).
• Want to make the best out of your Bali travel outfits? Be versatile. Use flowy and transition clothes. For example, never ever miss a beach cover-up for a female Bali Trip. It looks chic, and you can easily use it to dress in different ways in a fraction of a second.

 

Last but not least, always choose clothes that can be layered. Such styling feels airy for daytime and slightly warmer for sunset time.

 

What to Wear in Bali (Female Version): Outfit Ideas for Your Next Trip

Bali is all about the sun, and you must plan your clothes according to the sun. Here are some amazing Bali outfit ideas you can try from sunrise to sunset.

 

Start Your Morning With a Bikini

There's no best way to greet the sun in Bali with a bikini. You can pick a comfortable, recycled-fabric bikini.

 

Depending on your personality, you can either choose a lace bikini or a solid black bikini. After all, black is something that's never going out of fashion. Here are a few things that you may add on to level up your look:

• Style a wide-brimmed beach hat for sun protection and elegance
• Think of minimal accessories, like a simple anklet or shell necklace
• You can also use a crochet boho beach bag to carry your sunscreen

 

Always choose a bikini you can mix-and-match to create multiple looks with fewer pieces, perfect for sustainable packing.

 

 

For Mid-Morning Exploring, Add a Sarong

If after your swimming day starts, you're looking to explore the beachside. Pair your bikini bottom with a sarong. It looks chic and hot at the same time.

 

However, if your plan is to head to a café, market, or temple, you can switch to a flowy linen dress or lightweight jumpsuit. Here are some styling tips:

• Sarongs make the best of Bali summer outfits for someone who wants a chic and bold look at the same time.
• If exploring the market, don't forget to take a big beach bag for souvenirs or snacks.
• While strolling, always wear comfortable sandals or espadrilles.

 

And when selecting a beach sarong, make sure that it matches your beach top in terms of pattern and colors.

 

 

For the Afternoon, Make It Cool With a Swimsuit

Many tourists love Bali in the afternoon for relaxing poolside or at a beach lounge. If you're also one of those planning a cool lunch, here's how you can do it.

 

Slip yourself into a one-piece swimsuit. You can even add a sarong, if required, though it is not necessary at all. At Arun Beachwear, we have multiple swimsuit dresses, and you can find the one that blends with your personality. Either pick a bold, one-color beach dress in white or black. You can even add more spice by selecting a beach bodysuit with front cuts.

 

 

You can even pair with a sheer cover-up or kimono. Add a straw hat and sunglasses for a real chic tropical look.

 

Dress Elegantly for an Evening Resort Style Dinner

If you're planning to have an evening dinner in a famous Bali resort wear an elegant dress. You can pick a flowy maxi dress or a simple silk cami top with linen trousers.

 

And, in case you don't have much time to change, you can simply cover it with a beach cover-up. But here are a few tips to make the most of it:

• Level up with minimal, elegant jewelry (think gold hoops or layered necklaces).
• Opt for soft, tropical colors. You can get a beige colored cover-up (for sandy neutrals) or a dress in sunset oranges or ocean blues.
• Pair with comfortable sandals or wedges, so that you can drink and dance (if you want)

 

 

Lastly, don't forget your eyeliner and mascara; smoky eyes scream Bali vacation. It's the most effortless and beach-appropriate beach makeup you can rock.

 

For Night, Something Chill & Simple

How you want to dress at night totally depends on your plans. If you have planned a romantic date, carry a lovely dress that suits your body type and preferences.

 

However, if you want to keep it relaxed or your only plans are night strolls and drinks, keep it simple:

• Lightweight cardigan or wrap if the evening breeze gets cooler
• Comfy shorts or casual dress

 

You can choose minimal footwear or simply go barefoot on the sand.
