Dingle - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?

Dress is casual. Waterproof jackets with jeans and wooly jumpers (knitted sweaters) are the norm. This is a fishing and farming village so you will see wellies as often as heels or walking shoes. Nobody pays any attention to fashion. Business dress is casual, depending on what you do. Casual sports jackets for men and slacks with nice tops or jackets for women would be the norm in a bank or solicitors office. Evenings are still jeans, unless you are 20ish and it's Friday or Saturday nights. You will find everything from skimpy club wear to the same farmers out earlier in his wellies and oilskin coat. - Feb 2009
