Dress cool/casual but don't wear shorts out to a nice restaurant. Bring some layers because it can randomly get cold, but it will probably be in the 70s.</p> <p>If you're concerned about stepping in muddy beer/pee/puke...don't go to Bourbon street. Just sayin. Flip flops/sandals are fine everywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1428875 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 11:43:07 +0000 winniebee 1428875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427864 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:03:48 +0000 MsLipGloss 1427864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No flip flops! Closed-toed shoes are a must! Heels or flats, totally your call, but if it's for evening, gotta go with closed-toe. It's just too dirty and wet for anything else. The last thing you want is to be sliding around in a pair of (wet) flip flops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427860 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 19:58:13 +0000 Bookish 1427860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very, very casual! I'd actually suggest wearing some closed-toed shoes, rather than the flip flops others have suggested, mainly because in the Bourbon St. area, the streets can be full of all sorts of things that you don't want on your toes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427755 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:37:16 +0000 Mamasig 1427755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from there. Not fancy at all. I would say we are way casual - like others said - flip flips, shorts, etc. If you are going to a nice restaurant I would check their dress code, but I bet they aren't even as dressy as you would think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427650 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:35:43 +0000 psw27 1427650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything goes! I lived in dresses and flip flops for walking around, dressed up if going to a nice dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427649 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:35:31 +0000 sarac 1427649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my week in the French quarter I went everyday casual, cute summer dresses with comfy walking shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427644 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:33:11 +0000 allison 1427644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think New Orleans is a place where anything goes, from t-shirts and jeans to cocktail dresses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427620 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:04:22 +0000 lawbee11 1427620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to undergrad in Nola. Attire is very casual unless you're going out to a nice restaurant. But for just walking around the French Quarter? Very casual. And the streets (especially Bourbon) are dirty, so I'd avoid wearing super expensive shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427612 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:56:38 +0000 meredithNYC 1427612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Granted, I have only been there for party weekends, but I think on the whole it's more casual than the cities you mentioned. Maybe because it gets so hot! There are certainly a lot of very nice restaurants that would call for nicer attire, but for hanging out in the daytime and doing touristy stuff you can get away with pretty much anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-orleans-attire#post-1427595 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:42:46 +0000 winniebee 1427595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is New Orleans attire-wise? Fancy as Vegas? New York? Boston? Going there in a few weeks! </p>
