Sergio, that being said, will I look like an outsider with Jeans and a golf shirt? Should I forego designer jeans and bring khaki's or dress pants? I pay attention to my dress as well, but since the culture is different, I dont want to stick out any more than I have to.
Thanks

sergio said:LiX .... Your comments surprise me. I don't know where you're hanging out. I find that throughout the prosperous or relatively prosperous parts of the city and suburbs people pay a lot of attention to their dress. There are more and more dress down days however the dark suit is still common for business. Casual dress, though casual, is carefully studied here. I find Porteños very attentive to the way they dress, whether it is casual or formal. This is a very class/status oriented society and one is immediately judged by appearance. Those who belong to the professional/upper classes are careful how they look in large part because they want to make their social class apparent at first glance. Personally I find the attention paid to clothes and grooming one of positive aspects of the society.
