it's a free country, dress however way you want, within reason. I like to go with a nice looking t-shirt, slacks, and sneakers, and sometimes a windbreaker jacket. Same outfit I wear for intl F, domestic F. Just dress sensibly and you'll be fine.

While in general, I'm a big fan of "wear whatever you feel like and who cares" if you're young enough you've got some concerns about THAT part, wearing things that are a little more conservative and formal than you'd otherwise be inclined to is a good way to look a bit older.

Other than that, I can't see why either, but try lacking a time machine there's not much way to argue with my 17 year old self about it

School uniforms are conservative and formal, and someone who is wearing them would not be mistaken for a graduate. What is the policy of private and public schools about wearing their uniform out of school?

More generally, the uniforms (both public and private) I've seen have not generally been confusible with something anyone would wear voluntarily, either formal or casual. It strikes me that that the only time that's likely to be an issue when traveling by air is for a school trip... and if you're on a school trip in J or F... well... dang, that's one posh school.

It's a funny twist of history that Karl Marx' "dictatorship of the proletariate" and the "classless society" are so profoundly expressed in US American dresscodes and have become one of the country's best cultural export articles.
From Levi's via Nike to Ed Hardy ...
Unaesthetically dressed guests should be thrown out of any first class or real luxury hotel ...
Every stupid discotheque does it, but airlines and hotels didn't have the guts to enforce dresscodes. I am sure it was a mistake in the long term.

I am most commonly in jeans (nice jeans) and an oxford cloth shirt.
Having slept on the ATL floor, I come dressed for the context.
Actually, its also appropriate dress for the refreshments served... peanuts and cheap beer... see: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...gh-mojito.html
As for etiquette... Rule no. 1, do not ask the FA for both of the only two bottles of the Glenlivet that DL graciously provides for the FC cart.

I don't know when the last time you went out to discotheque's was, but enforcement of a "dress code" as you think of it is a thing of the past. Most of the "coolest" places now don't want people who look well dressed in the FT sense of the word, and they certainly don't require it. I see MUC as one of your locations...for example, go survey the crowd at any random night at the P1.
