  I was wondering if casual shoes would get you into the dress up nights, or are those events black leather shoes only. E.g. Like the Casino outting, restaurants.

  Hope this helps:
  
  Most clubs have the same dress standards as here australia. I would recommend some nice shoes for casino and special dinners/occasions, $50 leather shoes wont cut it.
  
  Also get some decent trainers(ie. diesel etc) for most other ie. going to the hotel bar or just a dance nightclub should be sufficient. Most nights you will just be at the hotel/campsite/village bar.
  
  Get some comfortable thongs as you will probably wear them all day if thats what you wear in Australia during the day

  A little more than I’d prefer to carry, though admittedly this would be ideal.
  Not sure how I’m going to go for packing space yet. I guess I’ll just have to pack & weigh my bag then go from there.
  Main thing for me was that I was thinking of possibly buying leather shoes in Italy, but if I need them before then I’m stuffed.
  My leathers are only cheapies so if I need to I suppose I could always chuck them later on if necessary.
  Thanks for the input everyone.

  tsk … you are overpacking … see my comment above.
  But if you enjoy carrying extra stuff around … then go ahead.

  Yeah it is a bit more than I would like to carry but I figure that it covers all occasions and you will at least be wearing one pair that you don’t need to pack.

  Somehow missed your post before, must’ve been in a hurry.
  The leather shoes obviously have to look shmick, & I don’t have good ones <!--graemlin::(--> As for the other pair, my Kappa shoes would be the closest thing I have to something like Diesel.
  If I have to buy leather shoes before I go that’s one thing I’ll no longer be buying in Italy.
  
  Useful info, cheers

  I agree (from experience)… thongs and 1 pair of shoes such as this which double for walking and decent enough shoes for going out. No one is going to care if you got formal leather shoes on your feet at night. No one is going to see.

  Yeah … no worries michael … those shoes will suffice … travel light. No tie nor dinner jacket needed. Wearing a collared button shirt is fine. Black always looks smart.

  Hey everyone,
  
  Thought I would resurrect this topic as it has been on my mind.
  
  I’m trying to avoid bringing a suit and formal clothes, I wear them for work so it’s not exactly a novelty, and the impression that I get is that it is rarely need if at all. I’m going on the Euro experience so I think Monaco would be the most ‘formal’ occasion.
  
  At this stage I’m just thinking of bringing
  - thongs
  - comfortable walking shoes
  - converse low-tops
  
  Do you reckon I’ll be ok with this? I don’t want to overpack and it just seems pointless bringing formal gear when most nights jeans and a nice shirt will probably do fine.
  
  Cheers in advance for the advice.
