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

At work a shirt and tie is fine. Sometimes you can go open-collar. Public places are like the States. - May 2017
Shabby, I would say. - Mar 2012
Business at work, and people around town are generally fashionable. - Jun 2010
People are fashionable, maybe because of the movie industry here, and dress pretty well in downtown, better than D.C. At work, trousers, dress shirts and ties are sufficient. - Oct 2008
