CLOTHING
CLOTHING
Clothing in Rio de Janeiro is generally casual and relaxed, although during working hours men tend to wear suits and ties and women wear smarter clothing. During the day, light, comfortable clothing is ideal due to the warm weather. In the evening, especially in more upscale restaurants, it is common to dress a little more formally, but still light and elegant. A light sweater is sufficient for winter evenings.
