Guests are free to wear comfortable, casual clothing like shorts, t-shirts, and jeans throughout the day and into the evening. While some may choose to dress up on "Dress-Up or Not" nights, it is not required. The only consistent rule is that swimwear and tank tops for men are not permitted in indoor public spaces, including the shops.
