I am often asked, "What should I wear when I go to New Orleans?" I usually reply, "anything!"
Of course that all depends on where you are going, what you will be doing and when. Just remember though, that New Orleans is flexible. This past weekend I attended a wedding in the French Quarter where black Tie was optional. Walking down Bourbon Street, in nearly 90 degree weather, it was no surprise to see brides in long white gowns, tuxedo clad hurricane holders walking side by side with gents and gals in short shorts, ripped jeans and nearly no tops! What a place! Always keep in mind, that New Orleans is pron to high humidity and plenty of rain. So if you go, take an umbrella, some bottled water and very comfortable walking shoes.
