hussiar25 3 | 14 7 Jan 2009 / #1Hi,I ill be visiting Poland, Gdansk, Olsztyn and Warsaw,this May. I am a 40 y/o man. Can anyone give me some advise on appropriate dress for a man my age? I wish to not stand out in the crowd but still dress nice enough to get into clubs and restautants. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.Regards
LondonChick 31 | 1,133 7 Jan 2009 / #2No idea how you normally dress, but people in Poland don't dress any differently to anywhere else in the world that I've visited.My dress-sense could be described as a but OTT some time, so I do tone things down just a wee bit when I'm in Poland. But other than that, you'll find people dressed in H&M, Benetton, Boss etc. rather than floral embroidered dresses (on the men LOL!!!).

g 7 Jan 2009 / #4hussiar25hi hussiar, i would recommend losing the checkered head rag & the white robe.get some well fitted boot cut jeans, button up shirts & dress shoes. maybe a casual jacket cause it might be chilly in may.

OP hussiar25 3 | 14 9 Jan 2009 / #7I see your sense of humor, haha :) The truth is that people do not dress the same in any two countries or even to a certain extent in any two regions of the same country. There is certainly a Euro sense of fashion which differs from the U.S. sense and etc. I don't see shorts and a ball cap being the norm in a church in Olsztyn while that is not uncommon in Seattle. I have looked at a site called Polish Street Fashion and yes I do see similiarities to dress in the U.S. but at the same time there are major differences. Besides that site focused on young people and adults dress differently everywhere.
