I like dining at the nice restaurants as much as the next guy, but having to put on a jacket while in the tropics is absurd!! I don't care what anyone says, dressing fancy in the warm tropical islands is for the birds. Just can't imagine!! Give me shorts or starve me!!

Bermuda has become more casual than in the past, but jacket & tie are still required in some very upmarket places. Best to check ahead of time. Particularly at dinner, "Smart casual" for men generally implies a collared shirt or golf shirt, nice pants or good (Bermuda) shorts, no jeans, no sneakers, no baseball caps. (You have to excuse me -- I advise business school students, and some don't get it yet.) For women: a nice dress or pants/long shorts outfit, no sneakers. IT also depends on the time of year you go: evenings can get cool, but August evenings can sometimes hit a steamy spell. PErsonally, we don't mind dressing up, especially for some of the very good restaurants in BErmuda. Its nice to bring some ambiance to the scene, and we often get rewarded with better tables (and not just in Bermuda.) Restaurant owners everwhere appreciate the courtesy of showing up at a nice restaurant, nicely dressed.

Just back from Bermuda and trust me, I never wore the jacket and long pants I packed once. The general rule in most restaurants was "collared shirts". Khaki shorts were fine. No cut-offs, no denim.<BR><BR>The only places that dictate how you should dress are the fancier restaurants around the island and the restaurants in the fancier hotels. <BR><BR>Take some good clothing anyway just in case you decide to do it up. <BR><BR>More important is to be aware that there's a whole lot of restaurants charging lots of money for some pretty mediocre (i.e., pub) food, so make your dinner choices carefully.
