Dress People in the larger cities dress more formally, especially in London. Men and women wear wools and tweeds for casual occasions. Slacks, sweaters and jackets are appropriate for men and women. Avoid striped ties that are copies of British regimentals. Men's clothing often expresses affiliation rather than style.
Ties are important symbols.
School, army, university or club ties are worn. For business meetings, men should wear dark suits and ties. Women should wear suits, dresses or skirts and blouses. Do not wear a blazer to work. A blazer is country or weekend wear.
