Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

[justinbrett]

The question “how are you affected …” keeps being answered and yet excuses just keep coming.

By off topic answers that don't relate to dress codes

Simple fact is that unfortunately, the general public can’t be relied on to conduct themselves with the necessary courtesies and respect towards to their fellow travellers, and therefore certain codes of behaviour, including dress codes, need to be stipulated by the operator of a private facility. It may be a formal dress code or it may be simple oversight by the staff.

I don’t know if there are dress rules for Virgin lounges, but from what I’m seeing in the Brisbane lounge right now, may not be necessary. I can’t see anyone dressed out of the ordinary and certainly no PJs in sight .

Your second comment contradicts the first. And I agree with your second comment. I can't think of another airline that has a dress code in its lounges, yet I've never seen anyone with clothing that would offend me. This includes the QF domestic & international lounges that don't have a dress code.

The dress standard just needs to be no offensive clothing, leave it up to the staff to use discretion as that would include offensive text as well as clothing that doesn't cover the bits it should.

That comes from taking off footwear. Feet that have been open to the air do not smell. If anything, airlines should be encouraging flip flops.

Hard disagree.

SQ006/31OCT20 case in point.

The problem with dress codes is they are vague and to an extent depends on context, require intepretation and relies on staff discretion.

How about this
Gents: enter with suit and tie - get free FF points.
Ladies: coiffured hair and pearls get free FF points
Or whatever the preferred dress code is....

Had this person sidle up and sit next to me at breakfast in Macq01 Hotel HBA this morn - disgraceful!!!

Cripes, that is so close!
So close it could be an "affair de ..... duex" sans partner/wife/significant other.
Must go and see what a Lalique is... or what is a Lalique.
Edit: ah, she might be there for a convention, or to sell you something.
Turns out that business is a perfumery of sorts, like L'aocertain.

Must go and see what a Lalique is... or what is a Lalique.

A Lalique is a garment worn by wealthy Singaporeans when flying to distant locations.

Yes, that as it always will be, be it can lead to excesses due to racism, etc.

I guess that's life...

Re: MrH's reply, coo, really?
None of their major "own" stores in HBA, only authorised outlets are in Brisbane and Sydney.
Other places are onsellers, Harvey Norman is one.
Mmm, the mind boggles.
Is that an ad, or is that isn't ad ad.
I know the red polo mens t shirt is a well known symbol t shirt in Asia.
With a #3 below it, ooouchee.

SQ use lalique and those PJ's def look like SQ F pj's.

I’m not home so I can’t check but I’m sure I have some Lalique PJs but haven’t flown SQ. Maybe Qatar a while ago

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Lalique items are very expensive, so its probably a DYKWIA sort of outlandish person, you can also tell by the person wearing that garish neck ornament.
Definitely a showoff.
Their vases go in the 10,000 of Euros, according to their website.
If they were not well known before, this person wearing that outfit and the neck ornament, has put this company into famedom.
I went to their website to have a looksee, so somewhere out in the web universe, they would have had many clicks, it didn't bring up any cookies/popups.

Rene Lalique Art Nouveau jeweller and glass designer. Antiques Roadshow people!!. She’s probably a cleaner there. I cant imagine the company handing out T-shirts given the exclusivity of such a prestige brand but I am reminded of that Police song ‘Dont stand so close to me.’

Oh it be so - and yap - could they ever tap - world champion I suspect

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

OffT, the mind still has to get around the whys of it all.
Heh, the why of it all, what has that person gotten to gain from wearing that thsirt/pj/shirt or what ever.
Was the make up of the piece of clothing so nice to wear it like that, those of you colleagues who own such a thing?
Smooth to put on?
No static electricity?
OnT.

You seem to have missed the repeated references that the garment in question is part of the SQ first class pyjamas. Presumably the wearer was known to the photographer as it would be a bit gauche otherwise to take a photo of a female breast in sleepwear.

No thank you.
Am too set in my ways, I have been told I have no sense in choosing of clothing, or sense of what is, umm, fashionable, or dress code appropriate.
I am like that old fat hairy furry aged old pet dog, at the end of the settee, that no one is interested in.
That said, I would not deign myself to wear a Lalique.
No matter the value of the top, no matter if I had been given the top for flying NYC to SIN in SQ F.
