What to wear and why footwear really matters
First time at the Monaco Yacht Show? Here’s your quickfire guide to navigating it like a seasoned insider — and avoiding rookie mistakes.
Monaco in late September is still warm so expect highs around 25°C. For daytime, lightweight linen, cotton, and breathable tailoring are your best friends. Sunglasses are not optional; neither is SPF.
At night, the dress code dials up. Think sleek dresses, tailored jackets, and well-cut shirts. Keep it classy Monte-Carlo.
On yachts: Always remove shoes unless told otherwise. If shoes are allowed, they’ll need to be clean, non-marking soles (stilettos are a big no no).
Off-yacht: Monaco has hills and stairs. Comfort matters, polished loafers, dressy flats, or smart sneakers will take you further than a strappy heel.
