Ok - in temples and such would cover my shoulders of course.
I can wear salwar kameez normally... but when real hot i really can't and need my normal tops or t-shirt.

Ex. of spaghetti/tank tops i mean...

Well, it depends where you are and what you do. I normally only wear tanktops/spaghettitops when I get in a car at home, and get out at a pub, where it is ok to wear them. I see western women wearing them in shopping malls. Some Indian young girls have also started wearing them now. I personally feel a bit uncomfortable in spaghettitops, I've gotten used to not showing a lot of skin. And since I am really white I don't want to stand out more than I already do!

If you are travelling alone it might feel more safe to dress conservatively..

But if you are in a beach resort for example it is ok to wear them.

Thanks Mirjamd for fast reply

I don't mind dressing more "conservative" - so could also wear a normal T-shirt instead of the tanks.. but as i said, depends also from the temperature.
I guess i'll have to look around and see how is the general way of dressing etc, and from there i can find out what's best to do.

Probably living here in Holland for the last 10 years made my "italian heat tolerance" grew weaker...

T-shirts are ok, you can wear them. And to be honest, in the Chennai heat it doesn't really matter that much what you wear, you will be hot anyway

I find salwar kameez actually one of the coolest things to wear, because they are usually thin cotton. But t-shirts are just as good in the heat.

Anything like a string vest?
