How dressed up for dinner?

My family will be in Prague in about 3 weeks and we're struggling to get into carry on suit cases. As a guy, should I be looking at packing dark jeans and a polo or dressier chinos and a button down shirt? Nicer pants also likely means a pair of nicer shoes.

Thanks!

Are you on a RS tour?
No worries, I haven't seen folks dressed up for dinner when they're traveling in Europe, and I just returned from Italy. Just nice not seeing old T-shirts and flip flops.
Have a great time.

If you're not on a tour but travelling on your own, the only time you would have to dress up for dinner is in a finer restaurant, such as a Michelin starred or similar. If just eating in nice family restaurants, whether with other tourists or locals, you should be fine with the dark jeans and a nice shirt. And you shouldn't need an add'l pair of shoes unless your normal touring shoes are white tennies. Decent looking athletic shoes would be fine. I'm not a foodie and I don't frequent Michelin star restaurants and I have never dressed up for dinner in Europe and most of those people I see dining around me are the same. Clean and neat is more important than dressy.
