We purchased hospitality tickets to the museum section of the Chelsea hosting Newcastle game and I am confused by the “smart casual” dress code requirement. Here is the relevant section from the Chelsea website:
In most hospitality areas at Stamford Bridge we operate a smart casual dress code, the only exception to this is children under the age of 12.
Smart jeans and trainers are permitted. Tracksuits, shorts, offensive t-shirts, away club colours and any football shirts are not permitted in these suites. Wearing such items may result in refusal of entry.
The following suites are exempt from the restriction on football shirts, however the other items listed above are not acceptable: Captain’s Bar, Manager’s Bar, Centenary Club, Champions’ Club and The Museum.
No football shirts are permitted in UTB Sports Lounge.
What are “smart jeans”? My fiancé is planning on wearing dark jeans and his Chelsea football jersey. I don’t think that my jeans would qualify as they have designer “rips” in them.
If I go with a pale blue dress, can I wear black tights and black flats? Would that be considered wearing Newcastle colors? As the match will be freezing, I do have a dark blue coat - will that be ok?
If I can’t wear the pale blue, would a grey green or burgundy dress be ok?
