Packing for a move to Shanghai should include several items to best prepare for all seasons. In the warmer months, items to bring should include lightweight clothing, a hat, and sunscreen. In the cooler months, heavier clothing such as sweaters and coats, along with scarves, hats, and gloves are recommended. For protection against the rain and humidity, an umbrella and a raincoat are ideal. As for footwear, a variety of both casual and dressy shoes should be brought.
