Clothing Standard - Be Free
Clothing is defined by what you choose to do while on Australia’s Gold Coast - casual or sophisticated.
Key themes this season: colourful, vibrant and comfortable within your own skin.
Gold Coast sophistication can take you anywhere in the world. It embodies the best beauty tip - to be yourself.
Here’s some tips from the locals:
- You can get sunburnt even on cloudy days. Treat the sun and surf with respect. Wear sun protection year round, a broad brimmed hat, shirt with collar and sleeves and maximum sun screen to exposed skin.
- While casual is the Gold Coast norm, some golf courses have dress codes so check when booking.
- Gentlemen may need a jacket when fine dining, or enjoying a sophisticated evening at a club or restaurant.
- Hinterland areas may be cooler and wetter. Take a jacket and a heavier coat in winter. Christmas in July with log fires and early morning mist sets the scene.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes in national parks and farms.
- Pack swim wear year round - winter offers pleasant warm weather during the day.
- Bring a light suitcase - you’ll need room to stock up on all those gifts and new clothes.
