It's not a dumb question, and the answer is no. When I first came down here I brought "dress casual" clothes for my anticipated visits to the "country clubs", but it's not like that here. You can pretty much wear anything, it seems.

I believe collared shirts are required for the guys, but that's about it.

The dress code is---you have to be dressed. We have only been to Bonifay. Everyone was dressed in shorts, slacks, polo shirts and casual tops. We have seen only one guy in a suit. He looked out of place and uncomfortable. If you are pleasently dressed you'll feel right at home.

Enjoy yourself. :icon_hungry:

There are No dumb questions here, we have all been new here at some point. The Villages are very casual. Shorts are worn everywhere.

DandyGirl 04-18-2012 07:24 PM

You will see people in all style of clothes. There may be folks in shorts having fun along side of folks in suits and sequins. It's great!

I seldom wear a collared shirt to any restaurants in the area. They are only require on the golf courses.

That's correct. You can wear a decorated t-shirt if you wish.

The first time I came here I ate at Arnold Palmer. I was in a dress shirt and pressed khaki's and dress shoes, and wondered if I was "underdressed".

While waiting for my appetizer I saw some guys come in in "Gator's" t-shirts and sneakers and loudly go to the bar. I immediately knew this wasn't like the country clubs up north. I quickly embraced the very casual atmosphere here. It's too hot for dress clothes anyway.

Thanks everyone!! Now I don't have to repack or (uurrg!) PAY for another bag containing dress clothes at the airport. The last time we came down, we were very careful to weigh our suitcases to make sure they were under 50lbs...only to find out the allowable weight was changed to 40. The thing that made me mad was I would rather have paid for an additional piece of luggage then pay $25 because my suitcase was a few pounds too heavy. Ah well, live and learn.

Collared shirts and hemmed shorts are considered formal attire!!! ;)

Bill-n-Brillo 04-18-2012 08:13 PM

No such thing as a dumb question, Trish! I'm sure many others wondered the same thing.

Bill :)

Like Me....

Leave the suits!
 
I wondered also? Wondered if leaving the suits home was a good or bad idea?

I like the "Were on permanent vacation idea!

Besides the suit coat is a little tight. Funny how they shrink?
