I need an honest answer

We have no dress code in Europe, only normal work clothes, If you are a lawyer you are expected to wear suits at all time

...circum.. what?

The weather is not a consideration , given his age and circumstances :O(

Preferably the warmer parts of Europe UK!

You can wear what you like or don't wear any thing, Miss Mimi did I ever tell you that I am the member of my local naturist club that roams the local forest on a Sunday afternoon care free and clothes free..:)

We even do some beach trips during the summer months in different parts of Europe!

same as some westerns, satisfying all is not something which can be achieved.

It's too cold in the West to go into your office in your underwear....

it is good to edit if you still have chance.

It's because he writes before he thinks, TDKR!

Straight Arrow you may have edited your response but I am not going to edit mine.

Why do you keep editing after posting by the way?

who wrote the comment and I have edited my reply can you see?

Thanks guys

SA, I have never been tempted to go to an office in underwear. I haven't even been thinking of going in the streets in underwear. And because of that, there is no "dress code" in the West! And if somebody does it, he will not be very happy in doing so. There will be a lot of laughter when he passes.

Straight Arrow you are talking about too much clothing, Coming to office naked though does help a business

That would be great! And extremely good for the business!

I "think" he meant to ask about whats considered "decent /modest" attire in the western world

and to that i would answer....it depends on the setting, time and place.

but make sure that you still respect their culture.

You mean the Vatican dress code?

Son, You can't handle an honest answer.

You don't want an honest answer because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me to dress as I do. We use words like honor, dress code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a person who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom of dressing that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I wear it.

First of all, there are many different countries in Europe.

For example...if you go to a Sicilian or Greek village that is not frequented by tourists and you wear a very short mini dress, people might look at you. BUT, nobody will say anything or do anything.

Generally, you can wear what you want. If you wear something silly, people might have a giggle.

There is no dress code and "moderate dress" is not even a term used there.That does not mean that people dress cheap or tacky. Some do, most don't.

People generally wear nice clothes, as most Europeans like to look stylish and fashionable.

each modest person wud dress modestly and it is not necessary whether he is westerner or asian it all depends on the way he was brought up by his parents

I am just saying what one western guy said and this does not mean it is the view of all westerns.

Of course Brit. I like to wear them to Dubai Mall.

have you still got the Lederhosen you got last Christmas ?

"Actually one western said they also have a type of modest dress and that they consider those who do not respect the modest dress as a people who have a lack of respect."

What? No.

Straight Arrow : Are you for real?

for the clear answer, so there is a dress code. Actually one western said they also have a type of modest dress and that they consider those who do not respect the modest dress as a people who have a lack of respect.

"Casual/ Smart casual/ Tuxedo, etc.

That is it."

That's not a dress code, its a suggestion. You wouldn't be penalized for showing up in jeans to a fancy event, you'd just look dumb.

any small dress or cloth is the dress code

There is no dress Code for Western people... Totally wrong info :P

then why do the nuns dress modestly ?

There is no one dress code. Difefrent societies have varying degrees of acceptance and tolerance. However, mainly, it is "To each his own"...

Casual/ Smart casual/ Tuxedo, etc.

That is it.

I was under the impression that Straight Arrow was discussing something equivalent to the abaya and the thobe for Westerners.

tahsinmim : A dress code is dress ban. well one way or another :P

Miss Mimi said No. There are no dress codes ...

No. There are no dress codes in Europe.

but there is dress ban. Like the ban to wear the face veil in France.

50 % of any culture dress = western dress they like competition

only for the office maybe.. of when you are invited to some event/party, you may ask: is there any dress code? The answer can be: Casual/ Smart casual/ Tuxedo, etc.

But it only not to det underdressed or overdressed for this particular event, for you not to feel uncomfortable comparing to other participants, nothing else..

No. There are no dress codes in Europe. Some countries have traditional outfits (like Germany) that they may wear for special occasions, like Oktoberfest, but it's not mandatory. It's for fun.

No, neither have I. Usually, with a few exceptions, people know what to wear without being told.

Never heard of a Western dress code.

in Europe its self

you mean dress code for Western expats here in Qatar?
