Welcome to the second city of Europe, to Berlin, the clubbing capital of Europe! If your thing is to go out to the city’s most iconic clubs with your friends, you need to know the dress code so you can have the best night out ever. In this guide we’ll help you understand the Berlin club dress code and get you feeling ready to get into those exclusive clubs.
1. Casual but Stylish
First and foremost, if you’ve ever been to Berlin, you have to know that the Berlin club dress code is very laid back and casual. Most clubs in Berlin are open inclusive, and there certainly are some exclusive clubs with very strict dress codes, however.
Wear stylish and well fitting clothes, which show you are unique. Don’t be afraid to try a new look whether it’s a tshirt, dress or outfit that makes you feel like yourself.
2. Comfort is Key
With all the long nights of dancing and listening to music, you want to take comfort seriously. Look for clothing and footwear that let you move, rather than restrict you, and won’t leave you feeling uncomfortable after several hours on your feet.
When it comes to footwear, stick with fashionable sneakers or comfy boots. Don’t wear high heels or even shoes which can be uncomfortable or hinder your movement. Don’t forget that comfort will enhance your pleasure on a night out.
- Dress for the Weather
The temperature varies across the Berlin area. It doesn’t really matter when you are visiting (colder winter or summertime), you gotta dress up appropriately.
Layering is your best friend in colder seasons. Go for a stylish jacket or coat that you can shed once you’re on the inside of the club. Last thing you want to be is overheating on the dance floor.
Lightweight fabrics and breathable clothing is important in warmer times. Wear a nice and trendy tshirt as a way to look nice and stay cool at the same time.
4. A Touch of Individuality
What makes Berlin’s club scene stand out is how individual the city celebrates. For a personal statement, you can use accessories — like statement jewelry, hats and scarves — to add your own bit of style to your outfit.
Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that you cannot wear your accessories to your club of choice; there are certain clubs, though, that may have restrictions on some of these accessories just to ensure security. Don’t bring large bag or things that could prevent you movement or other people movement.
5. Craft a Research Specific Club Policies.
The general guidelines we discussed above are good for a decent proportion of clubs in Berlin, but you should always research the more specific rules of the club you will visit. Different clubs might have more strict rules (especially for events of which they are special, or when they host international DJs).
You’ll want to visit the club’s own website or social media pages to look for any info regarding dress codes. So if you’re still unsure, don’t be afraid to contact the club directly for confirmation.
6. Your Best Accessory is Confidence.
The most important thing to wear to a Berlin club, above all else, is confidence. Stylish, romping, dancing at these legendary venues and embracing your own individual style.
The Berlin club scene is about creativity, inclusivity, open mindedness. If you treat those around you with respect and abide by the club’s policies you’re guaranteed a fun night out.
