well start by refusing admission to the lounge women that use too much parfum early in the morning, women wearing high heels that when she walks it seems the Irish river dance is on stage, women on the phone etc..... as you can see it goes both ways

Sounds like we should maybe just refuse admission to women....

It makes my mind wander back to the Officers Mess dress code of the 60s. IIRC it was ... Lounge Suit in the evening on Mon, Tue, Thu. Sports Jacket or Blazer and Flannels on Wed, Fri. Can't quite remember the weekend code, but I suspect relaxed on only one evening.
It was accepted as the norm for gentlemen

incidentally, to those saying a dress code should be enforced so they don’t have to mingle with riffRaff, I’m afraid your clothes don’t buy Class

Surely peope flying “The Former World’s Favourite Airline” would have sufficient respect for the Company, the Staff and the entire Ethos of a Luxurious Airline Lounge (and indeed their fellow passengers) to dress with a little sensitivity for the environment?
This is not “The Rovers Return” or “The Queen Victoria”

Isn't this all very simple?
1. If you want to access a lounge, you should have the courtesy to follow any dress code imposed by the relevant lounge owner/operator. Aside from that, you are free to wear what you want (subject to decency laws etc.).
2. Since there are few, if any, specific dress codes in BA lounges, you are effectively free to wear what you want.
3. However, despite what some might think and some sensitive souls might desire, none of us has the right to be approved of by others. If someone else thinks your choice of clothing is inappropriate, it is as much their right to think that as it is your right to wear what you want. So if your dress sense (or lack of) attracts 'funny' or disapproving looks, tough. You will just have to suck it up (as our American friends so eloquently put it)!
