Got a fall trip planned to Kuwait? Kuwait can be fun to visit in the fall, but you'll want to make sure you're dressed right. The weather is hot and dry, with temperatures averaging around 93°F (that's 34°C). So what should you wear so you can stay comfy and fit in with the local vibe?
To stay cool in the heat, it's important to wear light and airy clothing. Cotton, linen, and technical fabrics are all good choices. And don't forget to pack a pair of sandals or lightweight sneakers. With a comfortable pair of shoes, you'll be able to explore everything State of Kuwait has to offer without foot fatigue.
In just a second, I'll share my specific recommendations for exactly what to wear in Kuwait in fall—whether you're visiting the Kuwait Towers, strolling through the Al-Hamra Entertainment Centre, taking a photo at the Kuwait National Mosque, or visiting the Kuwait Museum.
What should women wear in Kuwait in fall?
Kuwait in fall is generally hot, and there are a few key items you'll want to pack. Here's what I definitely wouldn't go without: cropped pants, sneakers or loafers, loose-fitting clothing, maxi dresses, and shirts or tunics. With these essentials, you’ll be all set to experience everything Kuwait has to offer. Keep in mind that Kuwait is culturally conservative, so it's important to dress modestly too.
Cropped pants
Cropped pants might not be the first thing you would think to pack on a trip to Kuwait. But they can actually be extremely versatile and practical. For example, if you're going hiking, cropped pants will allow you to move freely while giving you more coverage than shorts. They will also keep you cool and comfortable. And of course, cropped pants can be dressed up or down as needed. Just make sure to choose a pair that is made from breathable fabric and that has a comfortable fit.
Any of these should work:
Sneakers or loafers
Sneakers or loafers are essential for visiting Kuwait. They're comfortable, versatile, and easy to pack. And, when you're on your feet all day, they can help prevent aches and pains. But how do you know which sneakers or loafers to pack? If you'll be doing a lot of walking, opt for a sneaker with good arch support and cushioning. And don't forget style! Sneakers and loafers come in countless colors and designs, so pick something that goes with the rest of your outfits.
These options are both stylish and comfy:
Loose-fitting clothing
When packing for Kuwait in fall, it's important to choose clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable. Loose-fitting clothes are ideal, as they allow air to circulate around your body and help to regulate your temperature. Look for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen, which will help you to stay cool even in the hottest weather. When choosing colors, stick to light shades which will reflect rather than absorb heat. And don't forget to pack a few items that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. With a little planning, you can ensure that you'll be comfortable and stylish no matter what the weather is like on your trip.
These are some of my favorites:
Maxi dresses
A maxi dress is the perfect Kuwait staple. It's comfortable, flattering, and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Whether you're exploring or just relaxing, a maxi dress will keep you cool and stylish all day long. It's also a great way to cover up for modesty if you need to (simply add a long-sleeved cardigan over the top). And packing a maxi dress is a breeze—simply roll it up and tuck it into your suitcase. When choosing a maxi dress, look for one made from lightweight fabric such as linen or cotton. Avoid bold prints and opt for simple colors that can be easily accessorized.

Shirts or tunics
Shirts or tunics are one of the most versatile and easy-to-wear items you can pack for Kuwait. They can be dressed up or down, and they work well in a variety of settings, from the beach to the city. When choosing shirts or tunics for your trip, look for ones that are made from lightweight fabrics such as linen or cotton. These fabrics will help keep you cool and comfortable in the warm weather.
Any of these should work:
What should men wear in Kuwait in fall?
For guys, here's the list of essentials I recommend you start with: linen trousers, long-sleeved shirts, sandals, loafers or dress shoes, and loose-fitting clothing. With these in your suitcase, I guarantee you will enjoy your trip to Kuwait in comfort and style. While you won't need to be quite so covered as the ladies, it's still a good idea to respect cultural norms and not wear anything that would draw too much attention.
Linen trousers
Linen trousers might just be the perfect staple for a warm-weather vacation. You already know they are made from a light, breathable fabric. Plus, they can be paired with a variety of tops to create both casual and dressy looks. When choosing linen trousers, it's important to look for a pair that fits well and complements your overall look. This will help you feel your best when exploring Kuwait (and taking all those vacation photos).
If you're stuck for ideas, here are some of my favorites:
Long-sleeved shirts
Long-sleeved shirts are an essential part of any travel wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down, and they offer sun protection on bright days. When choosing a long-sleeved shirt for Kuwait, it's important to look for one that is comfortable and breathable. A lightweight cotton shirt is a good option, as it will keep you cool in warm weather and can be layered under a sweater or jacket when the temperature drops. It's also a good idea to choose a shirt in a neutral color that can be easily paired with other items in your suitcase.
Why not treat yourself before you go:
Sandals
While many people think of sandals as nothing more than summertime shoes, they can actually be a versatile and practical option for year-round travel to warmer destinations. For one thing, they're comfortable and easy to wear, which is ideal for exploring Kuwait. They also offer good ventilation, which is important in hot weather. Just bear in mind that sandals should provide good support for your feet and ankles, which you need to help to prevent injuries.
Here are some options I'd recommend:
Loafers or dress shoes
While most people focus on packing their casual clothes and shoes for travel, it's important to remember to pack a pair or two of dressier shoes as well. Loafers and dress shoes can come in handy for a number of different occasions, from wedding receptions to nights out on the town. And while you might not want to spend a lot of money on shoes that you'll only be wearing occasionally, it's still worth investing in a good quality pair that will be comfortable and last for years to come.
This is the kind of thing I mean:
Loose-fitting clothing
When packing for Kuwait in fall, it's important to choose clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable. Loose-fitting clothes are ideal, as they allow air to circulate around your body and help to regulate your temperature. Look for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen, which will help you to stay cool even in the hottest weather. When choosing colors, stick to light shades which will reflect rather than absorb heat. And don't forget to pack a few items that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. With a little planning, you can ensure that you'll be comfortable and stylish no matter what the weather is like on your trip.
