Wellington - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?
People are pretty casual, but for work it would be business casual. - Jan 2021
Business at the Embassy, despite all the dust and smoke from the ongoing demolition. Kiwis are more casual, though, so Wellington is one of those rare places where you'll find yourself dressing down before you go to a meeting. It's anything goes after hours; New Zealand seems to be a grab bag of styles, although going barefoot seems to be a thing for all ages. The locals look for any occasion to wear costumes (known as "fancy dress") to office parties or get-togethers at the pub. - Mar 2016
