[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends when you go. Who are these weird posters who think that teens in Germany and France do not wear shorts? Sure, going to a nice restaurant in the evening would need to wear pants, but for sightseeing shorts are acceptable attire.[/quote]

I’m one of the “weird” posters who said I would have the boys leave the shorts home - based on the fact that the trip is coming up, according to OP, and so shorts in Nov/Dec/Jan would just look goofy and off-season right now in Paris, even if it’s unseasonably warm.

I don’t understand all the posters who think wanting to dress nicely on a vacation in a major European city (or any major city, anywhere) is some sort of weird cosplay. My family steps up our game a little on vacation - it’s a sign of self-respect, we look nice for pictures, get treated a bit more nicely in restaurants and shops. We’re not talking about suits, for god’s sake. We’re talking about pants/nice jeans instead of shorts in Nov/Dec. Is it really such a sacrifice to be less of a slob than you are at home? Have a sense of occasion.  [/quote]

Um, ok.  We were in Rome this summer and everyone, including us, was sweating through their clothes.  We wore shorts and tried to stay as cool as possible.  As did everyone else.  We dress to be comfortable, not to "step it up".   :roll:
