Will you be eating outside or inside? The tone of the restaurant often times sets the dress code. If you wear shorts, what are you wearing on your feet? Honestly, I think that it is appropriate in certain situations, but my preference would be to see you in a nice light weight pair of slacks (linen or cotton) with a pair of loafers – you can go without socks if you want to appear more casual. A good pair of light weight cotton or linen slacks often times are more comfortable in hot weather because your legs aren’t sticking to the chairs and the back of your legs aren’t dripping with sweat! Hope this helps. Let me know what you decide to do! Well, that depends. Will you be eating outside or inside? The tone of the restaurant often times sets the dress code.

If the goal is for me to go in a "nice casual" or "dressy casual" attire, are shorts ever appropriate instead of slacks? Thank you, Spencer Rosengarten A related question to your article:
