Sandals after 6:00 p.m.?

[Tampa Girl]

I just read on the Cunard website that women cannot wear sandals after 6:00 p.m. Does that mean even dressy sandals??? What other kind of shoe can you wear with formal wear? And is this really enforced?

Where did you read that? Sandals are fine for ladies, but not for men, after 6pm.

 

If they didn't allow ladies to wear sandals I suspect there would be mutiny!

 

Have a look here.....

Hopefully that will put your mind at rest:)

Sounds sensible to me; ladies wearing decent sandals, not flip flop type. Gentlemen seeking maximum podal ventilation would probably best advised to get a pair of decent shoes where they are of the woven leather style about the front area.

Thank you! I was reading that only the sleeveless tops applied to the men. Whew! Should have paid a little more attention to the semi-colon.

I have checked the link and apparently gentlemen may; on formal evenings, wear formal national dress and army uniform. Does anyone know if court uniforms are acceptable, obviously with the four star maximum protocol?

Sandals can be anything from flip-flops to really dressy - the look, rather than the term "sandal" should govern. I've seen some ankle length tee-shirts (with gas station logos) referred to as "long dresses" --- applied common sense should help.

Not the kind with horizontal stripes.

maximum podal ventilation

 

What a cracking term !

No; you are thinking of criminal court not Royal Court.

My apologies, you see I have been reading The Daily Mail and it was a natural misunderstanding ;)

The Daily Mail, please explain to a simple guy from Tennessee. (USA)

Isn't the Daily Mail the U.S. equivalent of the Enquirer?

I was joking really, they are the uniforms Princes, Dukes and Earls would wear in the presence of people like the monarch at the Royal Court.

No, that would be the Daily Star.

 

And it was the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, the People and the News of the World that were part of the phone hacking scandal.
