Europeans know better, and Aussies and the like are self confident enough not to care what we might think of them.

We went to a Michelin one star restaurant in Burgundy last week and we're the only people there not wearing shorts. The rest of the patrons at tables within earshot sounded french, so I don't think shirts will be a problem.
@StCirc: Great, now I have to worry about rattlesnakes in Palm Springs AND adders in the Dordogne?! Why didn't you warn me ;-)

Oh but I saw several people still wearing them.
Inc one at the pizzeria yesterday with high black socks. My wife threatens me with divorce when I do that but it seems ok for young ones (white socks I have heard).
