From what I can remember (it was quite a few years ago) it's a very informal city, maybe because so many people cycle everywhere. I don't think I bothered changing for the evening all the time I was there - we just ate out wherever we happened to be. It's an interesting city though - have fun.

I was last there in 2018. It was unseasonably warm in early September and I ended up buying a short sleeved light cotton knee length tunic dress from Cos. It's a very informal city. I changed to go out for dinner but from point of view of just not wearing the same dress I'd been wearing all day.

Having said it's very informal I used to buy most of my tailored work clothes from Pauw, which is quirky but highly tailored. You will see some people in mad Low Countries Martin Margiela stuff.

Very informal.

I think I'd go for a couple of t-shirt dresses, a denim or khaki/camo jacket and trainers, plus some silky wide legged trousers and vest tops. Maybe a linen shirt for if it's too warm for the jacket.
