Today "No'" means "YES" with an attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended a funeral yesterday and I wasn't really surprised to spot a couple of folks wearing shorts (shorts with pockets and needing a belt, not gym shorts). I figure if they are willing to wear them at a funeral they won't have any problem wearing them to dinner on a cruise. Yeah. I tried once to say wear what you'd wear to your grandmother's for a special dinner. That didn't work 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones claiming sophistication are actually not sophisticated. Sophisticated people adjust to changing times. Parochial thinking is not the same as sophistication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You equate wearing a baseball cap in public with not wearing clothes at all? One is a fashion choice, the other is a chargeable offense in most jurisdictions. 🙄 I like baseball caps. They keep the sun out of my eyes, hide my messy hair, prevent UV from getting to the bald spot and when worn in the MDR enrage sanctimonious stuffed shirts who are way more involved in what I'm wearing than I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all but one of your reasons have to do with being outside. And if you didn't wear a cap your hair probably wouldn't be (too) messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not questioning details of your valid reasons at all. Simply, your reply (“because I can”) became a catalyst (so to speak) to my non-standard spontaneous reaction.

I guess that depends on the time and place and attitude of grandma. My father is a great grandfather - we all certainly wear shorts going to his place. In fact he wears them himself.

That's fine - I dont think anybody is saying anyone else has to wear shorts if they dont want to. But you not doing so, doesn't mean nobody else should.

Rare Kristelle Posted July 27 #117 Share Posted July 27 I think title of OP rather than " Why the Debate? Are Pants Really That Challenging?" should be "Why the Debate - Other people dress differently to me - is that really so challenging to accept?" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kristelle Posted July 27 #119 Share Posted July 27 what does PW'ing stand for? You are on a cruise- men (and women) are going to have toes showing. That's just life You don't see them when people are seated at meals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlK Posted July 28 #124 Share Posted July 28 I am one of those who do not pack long pants. Sorry, my vacation, my rule, but will add, I also do not use the MDR or specialty restaurants. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is anywhere that relaxed dress is warranted, that would seem to be the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
