Gran Canaria is warm in winter, spring and autumn and hot in the summer, so people tend to dress in a relaxed, beachy style with sundresses, shorts, T-shirts and sandals perfectly acceptable in most places. Few have a strict dress code unless you’re visiting the most upmarket restaurants, so you won’t need much formal wear. During the winter, you will usually see locals in jeans and jumpers, while tourists wear summery clothes. You may want to pack light layers if you’re visiting for winter sun, especially if you’re heading out at night.
