Formal nights and teenage boy attire

[katgilm]

I know there must be lots of posts about formal night and kids but "search" didn't help! So here are my questions... We will be traveling with 4 teenage boys. On formal night, can they wear slacks and collared shirts? Do they need a tie? Or jacket? What about on the other nights in the dining room? Our boys live in long basketball shorts and t-shirts. I know that short and t-shirts aren't allowed but can the younger kids get away with it?

 

Thanks, Kathi

Kathi - No doubt you will get a ton of responses. Your question is stated as, "can they get away with it?", and the answer is yes, as long as they don't have shorts, t-shirts or tank tops, nobody is going to stop them from entering the dining room. Since you didn't ask for an oppinion if this is appropriate, then I won't give you mine, but I'm sure many will.

My three boys wore dress pants, dress shirt and a tie.
