artvlay Posted July 6 Author #11 Share Posted July 6 So after eight responses, I would like to know if women are permitted to wear trousers, slacks or other garment that doesn't fit into the skirt, dress, gown or kilts category. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the humour. Of course ladies can wear trousers. In fact, the only time I wear a dress is on a formal occasion when I wear a long dress. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pear Carr Posted July 6 #18 Share Posted July 6 This is has made me LOL! In my neck of the woods pants can mean either - knickers, drawers, undies or trousers, kecks, slacks and of course another word for unsatisfactory! I think the OP is genuinely asking about trousers as evening wear and Yes you can - whatever the dress code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw the question, I knew this was going to be a fun thread. @artvlay, here are the dress codes for both the Smart Attire and Gala Evenings. Trousers are acceptable at all times. Pants are a personal choice. 🫢 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best jokes are language or punctuation related. And I say hot pads. I worked in a kitchen for years and that’s what everyone called them (pot holders, oven mitts, oven gloves, etc.) What is a vest in the uk? Also, I want to see the men in skirts 😋 Edited July 6 by napria Kilts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
