I don't understand why everyone thinks style and culture are frozen in time and there is one "correct" one. The whole purpose of fashion is to constantly change. Nordstrom even has a category called "dress sneakers" https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/men/shoes/sneakers-athletic/dress-sneakers I always thought that the black leather sneakers were halfway presentable. At least they do not stand out like the bright orange ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be noted that, aside from no bare feet in dining rooms and no flip-flops in the evening, other choices of footwear are not mentioned in the published dress code. Whilst I will have some smart loafers I will also probably have these “smart sneakers” with me. And a towel to sit on of course 😉😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's what it suggests at all. I interpret it as examples or suggestions, not limits. If a kilt was not allowed, it would join the shorts, bathing suits,and flip flops list. I've seen many men in kilts; usually on elegant chic night. I love a man in full Scottish formal wear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, this just confirms that designer jeans are fine for men. Neither tuxes nor kilts are mentioned, but both are eminently suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called Marketing 611--- Here's how it happened ( ??? ): The Cutter in XYZ Jean Manufacturing Company wasn't paying attention ( in today's wording --- lost his " focus " ) and the blade of the cutting knife got tangled up in the fabric and a whole batch of denim got torn. What to do with all that torn denim ?? So, they got all their employees , their kids, their friends, etc to call retail stores asking if they carry the new style of jeans with the tear at the knee made by XYZ Jean Manufacturing Company. The big demand at the store level generated large orders of torn at the knee jeans, and a new style trend was formed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day my Mother would purchase ToughSkin jeans just so we would not tear through the knees. I think that they were even guaranteed. We called these worn out jeans. 🙂 We were trendsetters back then 🙂 Edited July 15, 2021 by NMTraveller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're always under the airline weight limit, as well. Wow! I clearly need some packing tips from you 😊 If I am bringing snorkeling gear along, I always end up struggling to get everything into one suitcase for a two week trip! Actually the more accurate statement is that I simply don't get everything into one suitcase, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
