Luggage And Bags: If you're a shopaholic, bring at least 1 empty suitcase with you. You won't have any problem filling it up with your purchases!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Shanghai goes through the four seasons.
Summer months can be very hot, reaching past 35 degress Celsius. So bring light clothes then.
From late Oct onwards, autumn kicks in and the temperatures drop, so you'll need a light coat.
Shanghai is a fairly well-dressed city, so be chic and you won't regret.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Toiletries are not an issue.
But medication may be tricky, because I generally see Chinese labels on the shelves in the pharmacy. Anyway, it always makes good sense to take along a small pack of travel medicine, including antibiotics and pills for upset tummies (just in case). So if you're on medication, suggest you bring supplies of your own.
