We’ve been to SE Asia a few times throughout a few different countries and I’ve found on our trips that what you need to pack is quite similar between countries. Here I share some of my travel style inspiration for you to pack for your own trip to SE Asia, specifically for Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar.
What I Wore in Cambodia:
Outfit Details:
Madewell White Tee Shirt | Cargo Vest | Shorts | White Converse Low Tops |
Ralph Lauren Orange Cross Body Purse (similar) | Scarf (similar) | Lumix Camera
Outfit Details:
Madewell White Tee Shirt | Green Cargo Vest (similar) | Gap Cargo pants (similar) | White Converse Low Tops |
Ralph Lauren Orange Cross Body Purse (similar) | Linen Scarf (similar)| Lumix Camera
Tips for Dressing for Cambodia:
-Wear lots of linen to stay cool
-Add a vest and scarf knowing that in the evening it would get cooler
-Wear fabrics that breath, since it’s so hot and humid in Cambodia
-Wear dark cargo pants when exploring the temples – not only did they help to keep my legs covered while it was cool, they were also a dark color and didn’t show the dirt as much as lighter colors would
-Comfortable shoes are a must as we spent a lot of time wandering around and climbing in and out of temples
-A cross-body bag is also a must, as it was small enough to not be heavy and easy to throw over my shoulder
What I Wore in Thailand:
Outfit Details:
Old Navy Maxi dress (sold out) | Madewell Tee Shirt | Tan Flats (similar)
Tips for Dressing for Thailand:
-The temples don’t let you in showing bare legs or shoulders so wear maxi dresses
-Throw on a scarf when you’ll be out until after dark as it cools down at night
-Wear loafers or flats so that your feet don’t get too dirty and are comfortable to walk around in.
What I Wore in Myanmar:
Outfit Details:
Madewell Tee Shirt | White Tennis Shoes (similar)| Loose Pants (similar) | Linen Scarf (similar)
Headed to SE Asia?

Totally. It’s one of my first thoughts when packing for a trip, is how to make sure and respect the local culture.
