Business dress at work (suits, etc.). In public, workout clothes and sneakers would be out of place, but in general, there is no dress code. - Aug 2014


Business with suit and tie at work. Women are generally fond of tight-fitting clothing and the highest heels possible. Older men and women generally dress in suits (men) and black (women), even to go out for a stroll. But the younger generation is definitely dressing like modern Europe. - May 2013


Most people wear normal DC standards of business dress. - Dec 2012


Dress code for work is the same as in the states and in public, but Albanian women dress in more revealing, tight clothes and generally wear high heels when out. - Oct 2011


Business and casual at work. Albanians wear everything from jeans to track suits. Women do wear high heels - why I don't know as sidewalks are very bad or non-existent and there are still dirt roads here. - Mar 2008
