Clothing for female travelers in Ghana

So what are the best clothes for traveling long hot distances in Ghana as a woman? The easiest clothing to wear in a hot country is light and loose cotton skirts, knee-length loose shorts or light long trousers like cargo pants or drawstring slacks. T-shirts, tank tops, and other stretch knit tops are a good bet. These items are also light and easy to roll up into small balls so as to travel with ease on the road. They also wash well and dry relatively quickly.
