Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

[JohnK]

....should that be "young lady" walking around outside in the QF departure area?

I am not into political correctness (who ever thought of this should be shot) and we have been calling them birds for a long time. Don't mean any offence by the term.

....But, lMO; l would band singlets+thongs combo at QC's.

Are you creating a new band based on dress standards or do you really mean to 'ban' them from the Qantas Lounges?

I'm with you JohnK. I must be old fashioned but I love to travel dressed for the occasion. It is entirely possible to dress comfortably and well for a flight.
Sadly the singlet, shorts and thongs brigade have even hit Zone A on a 747 as witnessed by me last week, honestly people it isn't that hard.

No need to wear a suit and smart casual is just as comfortable.

I still don't get why people wear thongs on aircraft. Spillages (especially hot things), people stepping on toes, safety issues when evacuating etc.

And can someone please explain to me how any of these types of attire are more comfortable than smart casual attire?

- raggedy, ugly looking t-shirts rather a polo shirt? I prefer long sleeve casual/business shirt, but that's me
- ripped and torn jeans instead of nice clean jeans. Does not need to be designer jeans. I prefer slacks.
- any open style footwear. Leather slip-on shoes and runners are just as comfortable and much safer
- jean shorts (if you must) with loose thread hanging all over the place (like it has been ripped) as opposed to jean shorts with a nice well sown hem

When having long(ish) time in the lounge /airport it is a pleasure to sit and people watch people with smart casual attire. Even better when some of the attire actually looks classy rather than what some people believe is 'trendy'.

Anyway if there was a way I could keep my head down and not look then I would do it and avoid any sort of eye contact with people with no dress standards.

P.S sitting in ROK Lounge waiting for flight to MKY and everyone is here is dressed appropriately. A couple of guys with shorts and/or t-shirts but with proper footwear.

I hope you don't have your shirt tucked in to your jeans. Gross.

+1 to that lawlass, loved your pic I think this thread is split in two , those who don't care what anyone wears and those who believe in a dress standard. I'm afraid to say I fall into the latter category. I will do my utmost not to judge anyone on the basis of my standards but will continue to dress as I do because for me travel is an occasion

Time for you to lay down on this post.

You've undoubtedly offended some women with your comment about the BIRD. I am sure that you did not mean too, but I am sure the people that offend you with their dress standard don't mean to either.

You have also had a go at someones spelling mistake when you have made a mistake yourself.

And I make typos all the time. Perhaps a would have been appropriate.

Actually my shirt is tucked into my slacks. I am not allowed to leave home if my shirt is not tucked in.

By the way I have nothing to rebel about and feel no need to change the world with my radical dress sense. What I am wearing today has been acceptable for a long time.

So apologies if my very acceptable dress sense offends you and all the trendsetters out there with their fashion trends that last 5 minutes....

LOL! It does sound funny when you put it that way.

P.S Hipsters are another pet hate.

I don't really have much to say on this thread. Last year I was guilty of hitting the shower in the QP on Thursday night getting washed and changing from suit into thongs, shorts and polo top. Imagine the looks when I was in row 4 of a 737 :shock:. But I quickly realised about the safety aspects, so it is now jeans, work shoes and T/polo.

But what I'm really disturbed by, is that anyone can have a problem with Aunty Jack's attire.

Long as she's not a nutter prancing around in a full cinderela dress with army boots and a magical wand, it's entirely up to her in my books.

 

[russ]

How can anyone see you in row 4? Isn't it hidden behind the curtain?

I have pondered the safety aspects of my usual attire of shorts and tevas. I want to allow rescurers to find me easily, so I'm off to Bunnings today to buy a hi-viz shirt!

Well I'll just wear my golf shorts-that will stop this discussion-no one else will be noticed.:shock:

There are 6 seats in row 4, unfortunately.

The hat bags alone would take up half of the luggage compartment.

LOL!

I can say with great certainty that hot shorts (on the right woman ) with a nice top and runners are perfectly acceptable form of attire in any Qantas Lounge.

^^ Oh boy :shock:

Yes, but you may see this instead, and it's from the F Lounge:

... The last time I have been in the F-Lounge in MEL there was an elderly couple. She was wearing thongs. The disgusting thing was that she cleaned her feet in the Restaurant area: Clipping the nails and putting toilet-paper between the toes...

Hmm - I think I have the answer. To make it easier all round for Airline staff, Lounge naz_s, passengers, secirity details, baggage handlers, energency services etc etc (and I believe if fully thought through the answer will cover every possible situation)- everyone one should be coded by the colour of the clothes they wear. If we use the full spectrum we could even do away with seat numbers and just go by colours. Match the seat colour to your clothes - what could be simpler.

Qantas pyjamas could even be the standard for all in the various colours.

Bright white garb the more frequent one flys and near the pointy end through to dark mission brown for toise that are infrequent flyer and used to freqeunting the rear seats.

F Lounge - White slacks, shirt and perhaps off white, mother of pearl etc.
J lounge - from the above down the spectrum to perhaps grey or light primary colours etc etc

Get the gist?

Wouldn't you just match FF tiers? Plat, gold, silver, bronze? Or Emerald, sapphire, ruby?
