What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?
Business atire for work and casual in public. - May 2016
Conservative at work. Washington residents'fashion sense is pretty average. This is not the town where you'll need the latest Fendi bag or pair of Manolos. A well cut (or not) black or pinstripe suit is more likely to serve you well. Conservative middle of the road clothing is the norm. It's also difficult to find places to buy cutting edge or original fashion. But NYC and Philadelhia are close and there are a few local up and coming designers worth looking at. - Jun 2006
