Sydney - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?
Business casual at work, except for more formal meetings. Formal dress is required for special events. Casual dress codes seem a bit different than in US cities, especially for men. It made me realize how men in the US rarely wear shorts that go above the knee. - May 2023
Work dress code is similar to Washington, DC. Formal dress only rarely for special occasions - there are no Marines at the Consulate, so no annual Marine Ball. - Dec 2020

Business, people dress very smart over here. - Nov 2014
Suits and business-casual at work. In public anything goes. It's not unusual to see bare feet in the beach suburbs or on the bus. You won't look out of place wearing an NBA or MLB cap with running shoes. - Sep 2012
