Majuro - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?

It is quite conservative; no knee showing… Island formal at work, during ceremonies and for church (polo/short sleeve shirt and slacks), island casual elsewhere. Marshallese women wear below the knee dresses called muumuu end even go to swim with it. Swimwear should cover much, both for men and women. No bathing suit outside of the water. - Apr 2014
