The notion that people should dress up for upper-class travel is largely a thing of the past. What's acceptable nowadays is basically what's acceptable in any store or restaurant:
  • Cover your genitals
  • Cover your abdomen
  • Cover your behind
  • Wear something under your feet
  • Don't be noticeably dirty or smelly.

I choose to go well beyond this in how I dress myself most of the time, but I am not offended by someone who merely meets these minimums. For example, shorts and a t-shirt with sandals are fine-- assuming the clothes fit!
