Actually, I want most women of pledging age (17-20?) to read this and consider it.
Viola said:Now I'm entertaining myself by making up my own dress-code. Don't worry, its entirely hypothetical. I could swear I've seen the same "such-and-such should NEVER be allowed" on FL any number of times, anyway. More vapidity, I guess.
Hats
Yes: Flat caps, eight panel caps, regular or stingy fedoras, in your choice of gray, light gray, dark gray, or black. Top hats only if authorized by your local representative.
No: Absolutely no straw boaters or Panamas 'till Memorial Day, fellows, and no campaign hats at any time unless you are Smokey Bear.

Edward said:Here's a couple of suggestions I'll add to our FL Dress Code:
Trousers: On a man over the age of sixteen, these must never be short. Short trousers are for children and soccer players, neither of which a gentleman is.
Sportswear worn outside the field of sporting endeavour is wholly unacceptable. Sportswear worn on the sporting field is generally equally unacceptable also. Refer, in particular, to the rule on short trousers, above. Notable exceptions may be made for sporting apparel such as jackets, where constructed from tweed, for instance.
Ugg Boots: The name says it all: Ugh. to be avoided on pain of going barefoot in Winter.
Well you are just going to have to enjoy physical fitness the way they did it in the old days.. in a heavy wool three piece suit!Geesie said:Some of us do enjoy physical fitness.

The shirt out look I just don't understand, especially when guys wear shirts out and a blazer.LizzieMaine said:Gentlemen: Tuck your shirts in. Especially if you're wearing a tie. And no short-sleeve dress shirts unless you're employed at at least the middle-management level in municipal government.

dhermann1 said:Good point, Smithy. But I can only say that part of the greatness of the British Empire was that the British were able to be magnificently heroic while looking completely silly. lol Think Alec Guinness in Bridge On the River Kwai.
LizzieMaine said:Ladies and Gentlemen: If it's winter, wear a proper coat. Mountain-climbing jackets are acceptable only if you are also wearing crampons and a rappelling rope.

Smithy said:Honestly this really is a ridiculous pronouncement.
So by your definition the following fellows are not, and could not be, gentlemen?
Edward said:How seriously it's been taken (I thought it rather obvious it was largely tonuge in cheek, perchance I didn't use enough lol s?) seems equally ridiculous to me.
Edward said:Hooooooo, no, I'm not going to be drawn to comment on military round here. For what it may be worth, though, they do look pretty silly to me. Fair enough,h folks can wear what they want (or, in this case, are ordered to)... opinions are like.... well, you know how that one goes. I have however yet to see the pair of shorts which I did not consider to infantalise the wearer. [huh]
Smithy said:Sorry my mistake. Perhaps you're right, maybe it wasn't enough smiley thingies or the fact you sounded awfully condescending the way you wrote it.
Seriously though, go and live in the tropics or a very hot climate for more than a month and see if you can bear wearing long trousers the whole time. Shorts have their place and not just on schoolboys or football players.
Edward said:I'm a pretentious ass at the best of times anyhow, but occasionally I forget facial expression and tone of voice don'tg translate so well in typeface.
Ah, now.... this is why God invented linen.....
