Dress code when turning left?

Wear whatever you like and are comfortable in.

The only exception is BA flights to Bermuda where it's compulsory for men to wear a blazer and cravat.

Or back from BGI where the Sandy Lane pique is de rigueur.

As a chap, i've always plumbed for wearing my suit jacket over jeans and a casual shirt when travelling for business. It saves your jacket getting creased, in UC & PE they always hang your jacket for you. When I travel in economy going on holiday, i wear flip flips (I have two left feet...when I dance) shorts and a t -shirt.

Now you see, I don't get this what to wear thing. Why would you be smartly dressed in UC and then throw caution to the wind in the other classes, what is it that makes the difference. ?|

We have never had the pleasure of UC , but have always travelled very smartly, usually me in a smart pair of trousers, matching jacket and nice top, new clean shoes, hair done, makeup on , the other half Smart trousers and shirt, clean polished shoes, and when our kids were small, they had new outfits, shiny clean faces (you get the picture). We don't do this to try and bag an upgrade (and actually we have had quite a few) but just to present ourselves as we do in our daily lives as clean, smart, decent people.

I too work for a US company with the same rule. It's rationalised as a security measure, particularly when travelling to countries whose populations are not the greatest fans of Uncle Sam or the West in general.

Back in 2009 we booked a PE Miles+Money fare to Boston.

When checking in for the return my partner and me were given an upgrade to UC y) My son-in-law checking in behind, dressed in shorts & tee, was not. There were quite a number of vacant suites left in UC. Perhaps it was just not his lucky day or perhaps it was his dress attire

i always like to have a clean t-shirt or shirt in my carry on to change into after a night flight. surprising how fresh it makes you feel

Wouldn't it be FUN to wear a Bubble Devere bodysuit to Cowshead for a haircut?

Provided you don't wear a football shirt or track suit then just wear what you're comfortable with.

Why, that doesn't matter at all.

Frankly if you wanted to dress as Bubble Devere that wouldn't bother me either.

Hmm, tempting, but I think I'll go with something slightly more conservative in the CH tonight...

Only time I heard of someone getting refused travel was when they were wearing camoflage clothing.

Barbados prohibits the wearing of cammo (due to military/security reasons rather than aesthetics).

Applies even to having a cammo style back pack.

Yes, this was the reason given; the destination may well have been BGI.

One could argue that it's a crime against fashion anywhere, unless you are in the military.

Reminds me of the time when we were at the High Court in Dublin, all appropriately dressed and a delivery guy passed through the crowds wearing a black/white/grey camouflage outfit from head to toe. He stuck out like a sore thumb to the extent that they guy standing beside me said to no-one in particular "I thought you were supposed to be almost invisible in that"

I've never been able to imagine what the "urban" camouflage is supposed to blend in with except maybe piles of newspapers and magazines.

There hasn't been a 'dress smart for business class' rule since about 1992 as far as I am concerned

I've travelled UC twice and fitted in fine with smart jeans and a smart t-shirt/jumper.

I think that given I have paid for the ticket, I can wear what I want. Tracksuit bottoms are extremely comfortable so that what I will be wearing. And I dare anyone to say anything to me
Anyone who tuts - well that is their problem (I dont mind denting their superior complex).

I like to make an effort myself when flying, part of that ole rose tinted idea of travel there used to be. Its become a tradition for me to have new shoes. I dont care what anyone else wheres as long as I feel good.

I fly once a year with mate in tow on our annual Vegas pilgrimage and tend to wear jeans flip flop and tshirt.. Never felt out of place (although we're usually steaming by take off so might not have noticed..). Try that' on Ba and you'll get a few funny looks...

Short sleeved shirt,cargo shorts and a pair of crocs has been my summer flying attire for years, nobody has ever raised an eyebrow on BA,EK,QF,CX F, although I know Crocs are hated here by large numbers

PS, If I was in PE/WT+ then obviously I would be much smarter hoping for an upgrade

OMG I need to wear a dress, will my bum look big in it?

Fotball shirts on people over about 25 looks so naff. And so does A&F/Hollister stuff. Rugby shirts are just about tolerable but I would need pictures to be certain about their acceptability. As for tracksuit bottoms, well there are tracksuit bottoms and there are tracksuit bottoms.

Just for the record, my boss deemed that I was too busy working on another project so I had to delegate this to a sub-ordinate. I'm crying as I type this.

I have some very classy Help for Heroes rugby tops, well worth a look on the website and smart.

It appears you have far too much time if you are studying and worrying about what other people wear.

I never have nor will understand people's obsession with worrying about what other people wear. If they are happy and not breaking any rules/laws then what on earth does it matter to you? I'll wear what and want and if others don't like it then tough, it is quite clearly them who have so little in their lives that they choose to judge others based purely on their attire.

I agree generally with your opinion SF. People can where what they want, but I think people do need to look in the mirror sometimes and ask themselves if it appropriate.

I for one hate dress codes, for example I refuse to eat anywhere that requires a Jacket or Tie. But I wouldn't turn up to a resturant like "The Restuarant at Meadowood" (excellent place), in trackie bottoms and football shirt...

But obviously I have too much time on my hands and have so little in my life that others believe I'm not allowed an opinion without being insulted ?|

Ah, so it's okay for someone to have an opinion that is insulting to someone over 25 if they choose to wear a football shirt, some A&F/Hollister, but not for someone to have the opposite opinion?

Why worry about others? as long as they aren't affecting you (and I can't see how someone wearing a football shirt can be insulting) and are happy themselves then all is good, difference isn't necessarily a bad things.
