Overall, day-to-day life requires a bit nicer dress code than that of the US. Women will wear pants (or designer jeans) with a nice sweater and heeled boots to the grocery store during the winter. Summer is slightly more casual, with a lot of women wearing dresses. Men wear suites to work and slacks in the evenings. - Jul 2009
