CLOTHING

1. Dress is normally informal in Indonesia due to the warm, humid climate and clothing of light fabrics is recommended. 
2. With temperatures ranging between 20-35½oC, light, casual clothes are the most practical. 
3. Natural fibers like cotton or linen are the most comfortable in Indonesia's often humid conditions. 
4. Casual clothes are acceptable in most places and a lightweight suit and tie are usual for business or formal meetings.
5. Light cotton dresses are generally acceptable in most situations.
6. Batik is popular for both men's shirts and women's dresses.
7. Travelling in highland areas is noticeably cooler, however, and carrying a light sweater may prove useful. Accepted attire for men is a shirt and long pants.
8. A jacket and tie are required for official calls or for more formal occasions. Long sleeved batik or hand-woven shirts are acceptable for evening functions. 
9. For ladies, dresses, blouses, and long pants are appropriate. 
10. Shorts, halters or tank tops should only be used at sports facilities or on the beach.
