Uniform standards


I realise the workplace has changed significantly over the past 10yrs or so and that a more relaxed and informal dress code for general office attire is more the norm these days than it used to be.
I'm not sure I agree with these sentiments however when it comes to wearing a uniform. I've worn 2 in my working life and when I did I took pride in my appearance and tried to wear it well.
Without revealing his identity, I watched a MF crew process T5 earlier and snapped this shot. This was a departing crew fresh for a day of flying and not an inbound crew about to clock off.
While I don't have an issue with sneakers/trainers I do think there is a time and a place for everything and coupled with the Julian McDonald ensemble it looks way too casual and verges on making the individual look scruffy. Is this acceptable attire for a BA crew member or am I dire need of a reality check? Thoughts?
