Dress Code
ドレスコード · doresuko-do
Also known as: doresuko-do
What a venue expects guests to wear; high-end lounges and some hostess clubs ask for smart casual or better.
A dress code is the standard of clothing a venue expects. Upmarket lounges, high-end clubs in districts such as Ginza and Kitashinchi, and some hostess clubs ask for smart casual or better, such as a collared shirt or a jacket, and may turn away sandals, tank tops or shorts. Girls bars, snack bars and concept cafes are fine in everyday clothes.
Venues with a dress requirement state it in the notes on their listing or on their own website. If you are unsure while travelling, the reliable way is to ask when you book or enquire whether what you are wearing is acceptable.
When you'll encounter this
You meet it in booking information for high-end venues, in the notes on a venue page, and on signs at the entrance.
