I've never been in any lounge outside of the US. I can't say I have ever seen any signage besides the typical "No outside food allowed."
I often wear sandals, cargo shorts and the first soccer jersey I grab from my closet when flying. I've never had a problem accessing a club, but as I mentioned I enjoy some of the looks. I actually get a decent amount of comments on my jerseys - "My son loves Manchester" or "I was born in Holland." I'm certainly a violator myself, but I find it incredibly amusing how many assumptions are based upon appearance. I work a job that "dressing up" means jeans and a polo - and I like that. I could not handle wearing a suit+tie daily, but props to those who do.
If I ever get out of the US and fly C or F, I'd probably not wear sandals/shorts/soccer jersey - but I am a paying customer and as long as I am not in violation of any rules/regulations I'd prefer to be comfortable for the time I spend at 30,000 feet.
