Of course not, that would be a horrible step backwards.
However... a dress code might have stopped the individual I saw at LCY yesterday evening with a T-shirt proclaiming, "B**ches be tripping... unless I pushed her". Given the front pages of that poor lady being shoved in front of a bus it was in particularly poor taste!

I am actually considering wearing a pair of oversized painters dungarees (as long as I can get them in black).
These may well be the ultimate in travel attire as they will have no waistband and plenty of pockets paired with a stripy top I can be mistaken for a mime so will have to be quiet in the lounge (no FaceTime conference calls for me

Us folk down the back will draw the line at being told what we can wear by people who think it's perfectly acceptable to wander round in a public place in Pyjamas.
If you find it all a bit uncouth, you're more than welcome to come and join us, we're doing our best to maintain standards against such sartorial crimes

Yes, absolutely. Now that BA is a LCC in short-haul economy I expect to see people in garish shorts and vile shirts, Elton John style star shaped sunglasses and carrying a pink inflatable flamingo. (Well, that's how I travel on U2 when I go on a boys drinking weekend).

My company has a business class policy for long haul for all employees, and no dress code to speak of - most people wear shorts, t-shirts and trainers in the office during good weather, and wearing a shirt may entail suspicions that you are going for an interview that day Reading some of the suggestions in this thread, it seems one may have to bring a change of clothes if travelling directly from the office on BA

Mind you, there's touristy Hawaiian shirts and Hawaiian Hawaiian shirts ( two tone , more subtle)
Ps Did you buy any Hawaiian CrazyT shirts Uncle T or your iWife? Perfect long lasting quality if I may say!!!
Travelling to Austria, Switzerland, Germany : lederhosen is a must.
For Netherlands obviously heavy wooden clogs.
For Belgium? ... Anything goes, as long as it is accompanied by a bowl of chips and mayonnaise or tartare sauce or pickles

Saudia have just announced a dress code. Shouldn't BA raise standards by doing the same?
Quote: Details of the dress code featured on Saudia Airlines website show that the airline requires guests to dress in a way that does not 'cause offense or discomfort to other passengers'. eg no shorts for men, no tight clothes for women....

Dress code for paying pax - no
Personally I'm a big supporter of tight clothes for women
And for equality I see no problem with shorts for men.
