Portuguese Dress Code

Portuguese Dress Code

It is important to look smart and well presented in Portugal. Men will invariably wear sports jacket, trousers and shirt and tie whilst women tend to wear business smart suits with a skirt.

The dress-down approach doesn’t seem to have made many inroads into Portuguese business circles even in hi-tech operations – although a few organisations have adopted a casual Friday routine.
