Business Travel
Shanghai tends to be a relatively casual city in terms of everyday dress, but for business functions in this global financial hub, it’s wise to err on the side of formality.
- For men, a traditional dark suit and tie is the most common mode of dress.
- In some more casual environments, eschewing a suit jacket and just wearing a shirt and slacks is acceptable for men, particularly in summer.
- For women, err on the conservative side — no low-cut blouses or loud patterns — and opt for lower heels or flats.
