6. What should I wear?
   Dress comfortably. You’re going to be visiting factories in June, so a suggestion is to wear layers and cool clothing. We recommend comfortable shoes, but avoid sandals/flip-flops and high heels, since safety regulations at many factories forbid them. If a tour requires items such as goggles or hairnets, those will be provided.
