Clothing Etiquette in Belize

Light, casual clothing is the norm in Belize, with breathable fabrics, shorts, T-shirts, and sandals common in the heat and humidity, while modest dress is appreciated in towns, churches, and government offices. Beachwear is fine at the coast or on cayes, but in inland villages and more formal settings people usually cover up a bit more, and many locals dress neatly even when the style is relaxed.
