We're going to La Chronique, Europea and La Colombe. My husband wants to dress appropriately, but bringing a jacket means he needs a dress coat too and that seems like a bit much for a long weekend if it's not necessary. Your thoughts? Thanks.

My husband has easily gotten away with a nice shirt or sweater with nice dress slacks and shoes.
