I’m not sure of the actual rules, but I have twice been in a group trying to enter a casino where one of the members had inappropriate attire (sandals). This was both in Nice (or Monaco..can’t remember which) & in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Either way it’s usually at least pants, collared shirt, no sandals/hiking boots/gawdy tennis shoes.

Hope that helps

when you say pants, does that include jeans? b/c there’s no way i’m going to pack dress pants.

thanks though

Jeans are fine as long as they are not uggo and torn to pieces (unless that’s in that week). I have no idea what driving moccasins are, but if they are not hard shoes, you probably don’t want to wear them to a club anyway.

Driving moccasins are essentially loafers without a hard sole. They’re incredibly comfortable for walking short distances (i.e. don’t go hiking in them, but walking a mile or two is okay). They’re soft but I wear them to American clubs (especially in the summer) with no problem.

W/ regard to jeans, I would definitely bring one of my dressier pairs. Normally, it would seem stupid to bring a really expensive pair of jeans on a backpacking trip, but not if it serves multiple purposes.

I’d much rather take a pair of khakis.  More versatile than jeans, lighter, and they take up less space.

not sure how khakis are more versatile. it’s tough to imagine traveling, going on tours, sleeping on a train, etc. with them, but you can certainly do that with jeans. on top of that a nice pair of jeans should pass at most nice restaurants and clubs. plus khakis wrinkle easily (in constrast, you can get away with crumpled jeans).

not to mention jeans just look better than khakis in almost all applications. in my opinion khakis are like a blue collar (or little kids’) version of proper slacks.

Just giving you advice from someone who’s travelled a lot.  Part of this is probably that I’m in my early 30’s now (acck!), but I’d take khakis over jeans for so many reasons – on a tour they’re not as not as hot, for sleeping on a train I find the thinner fabric more comfortable, and most importantly, they pack lighter and smaller.  Pair ‘em with a t-shirt and they’re very casual, or dress ‘em up with a nicer shirt and go places where you might look out of place with jeans.  But yes, a nice pair of jeans will probably be fine in 99% of places you want to go. 

sorry for the delayed response, but i don’t think khakis will make you stand out less than a pair of jeans anywhere. tan slacks maybe, but not khakis.

it doesnt have to be somethin shiny but you willd efinitely need something half decent to enter most clubs in europe

here in nyc i get into every club and bar with a nice semi tappered pair of jeans and a not tight but not loose t shirt.  When going to Ger Amsterdam and Czech should i buy some dress shirts to wear…the khakis are cool i think for wamer climates im 20 and wore them alot in Turkey

I always bring a pair of comfortable shoes for the day + a pair of klubbin shoes

should i bring dress button ups or t shirts are ok

thanks dude….so def popped collar lol shoudl i wear one of those little seashell necklaces

jus’ don’t be a white brother rockin artificial bling

No offense but those shoes you posted are really hideous. I would not wear them in Europe, or anywhere for that matter.

www.ectopmall.com it’s very good

There is no question that you need nice shoes for a European party. I will prefer you cheaper fashion boots which are light weight yet have the looks of a dress shoe. Follow this piece of advice and you will certainly enjoy the party.

T-shirts, jeans, and some “casual” clean skate shoes have been ok for me whenever I head out. I’ll also bring a polo shirt that I’ll wear when we go to the more upscale places. I took a pair of dress shoes on my first trip to Europe n’ wore them once… waste of space.

Nice post on will i need nice shoes? clubs, restaurants, etc.. I like it very much because it has very helpful articles of various topics like spam links deleted different culture and the latest news. I am a googler and search on many topics. By searching i found this nice website. Thanks for sharing.
