Palm Springs Dress Code

Dress in Palm Springs, like the rest of southern California, tends to be casual and few restaurants require men to wear a jacket and tie. In the desert, light clothing should be adequate for most of the year, with a warm sweater or light jacket for midwinter evenings. If you plan to take the aerial tramway to the top of Mount Jacinto, wear warm clothing as the temperature is usually around 40 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) lower than in the desert, with snow between November and April.

An issue that is traditionally one of great controversy in the United States, smokers are warned to be very careful when choosing a place to light up as most public places have banned smoking altogether. The best advice is to smoke only in like-minded company.
