Clothing Etiquette in Australia

Australians dress casually and practically in most everyday settings, so neat T-shirts, shorts, jeans, and sandals are normal, while beachwear should stay at the beach or pool and more polished clothing is expected for business, fine dining, or formal events. In hot weather and coastal areas, relaxed dress is especially common, but some venues, clubs, and restaurants enforce a smart-casual dress code, and in conservative or ceremonial settings people may still dress more formally.
