Dress in Fiji
Because of the tropical heat, dress across Fiji is relatively informal. Formal business suits are rarely worn.Many social functions promote the "bula dress”, which for men involves a brightly coloured, island-designed, open-necked, short-sleeved shirt worn outside the trousers. A wide variety of colourful "bula" shirts is available in local shops. “Bula” long island dresses are also worn by expat women. It is not generally acceptable for women to wear very short shorts or skimpy clothing in public.
Sandal-style shoes are worn everywhere. Despite the heat, a light cardigan or pullover may be useful in the cooler months.
