We recommend light cotton clothing, which is ideal for year-round travel. An umbrella is recommended in all seasons. It is more useful than a raincoat and acts as protection not only against the rain but also against the tropical sun. It is also advisable to bring sun hat, sunglasses and sun protection for your face and body since the tropical sun can be really fierce at times. Common summer wear includes shorts and cotton shirts or t-shirts. If hiking or trekking, it is advisable to carry suitable attire.
The most convenient footwear to bring are sandals, flip-flops and comfortable walking shoes that can be taken off easily as you would be required to take them off before you enter the religious places.
Carry some winter clothing if visiting the south-central region or central Highlands during the cool season (Dec-Mar). Despite the recent influence of western culture, Sri Lankans are generally conservative hence why modesty in dress is advised. Western clothing is acceptable and is worn by many, but when visiting shrines and religious places visitors are advised to not wear shorts, short skirts, vests, tank tops, etc. One should also avoid t-shirts with images of Buddha, which is considered disrespectful in the country.
