This post is useless without picturesOr, for a more relaxed dress, I might wear a body-hugging Jean Muir in cashmere. Been told I have the looks, so why not flaunt it is what I say?

However, what I cannot stand is seeing men wearing bow ties. It's a personal thing, but I feel bows are effeminate and those clip-on types are dreadful, but dress codes onboard ship demand bow ties to be worn. Why not a lovely silk straight tie, perhaps? And, I really cannot stand seeing a man wearing a white dinner jacket. Reminds me of an ice cream vendor.
Hah-hah ... if you think bow ties or tacky, you should come out west where some gentlemen wear string ties.
If the men's requirement is "tie and jacket" then no, skate shoes or crocs would not be acceptable. "Tie and jacket" means it is more semi-formal than casual.
Shirt and slacks and a blazer should be fine or a dress or skirt and top would also be fine but no sneakers, trainers, skate shoes, flip-flops, crocs, deck shoes, etc.
That's what I thought. But what if someone has a foot problem and the only shoes they can wear without being in unbearable pain are Crocs (the ones with the holes on top)? Are fancy restaurants going to tell them they can't come in?
And I just thought about something I've always been curious about. What about cancer patients who are going through Chemo and lost all the hair on their head? Many of them wear some sort of hat on their head, it's usually a knit hat from what I've seen. Do they have to remove them to be allowed into fancy restaurants? I don't know why they wear the hats. I don't know if it's for cosmetic reasons, if their head is simply cold, or if it's more of a medical thing with them being abnormally cold on a warm day.
I really don't know why people need to get all dressed up just to eat. Some sort of tradition I guess.
Sounds familiar....I think the idiot that invented the neck tie should be hung with it!!!
Barbara you are dee-double correct about those high heels. Yes, womens legs look great when they're walking in them, but every single one of us has ruined our feet with those shoes. and they NEVER were comfortable, I don't care what anyone tells you!The ones who invented the neck tie and high heels could be hung together. They should have to walk around all day in the high heels and ties, then as the sun is going down, tie the end of the tie over a ceiling beam and knock the high heels out from under them. Done!
