Totally agree. The ladies are dressing very nice, and in most cases very sexy. It is the least we can to to look nice ourselves, even just for dinner. I have no problem wearing long pants to dinner.
I have problems wearing long pants for dinner. It sucked at the end of May, and even with linen pants I was uncomfortable. I was dressed very nice as always, and made sure I brought 4 pairs of linen pants to avoid problems for the group, but no one was happy, but we all had to conform to this stupid rule. You look at the restaurant and there are people with baggy ripped jeans and graphic tee shirts. Yep that rule makes a lot of sense and those people are more dressed up than someone with dress shorts, a button down, and loafer like shoes. I don't think so. It has nothing to do with "dress up for you lady" She actually thought most of my vacation/summer-like outfits looked stupid paired with long pants. It's called style and I agree you need to be dressed appropriately for dinner. But just saying you knees are covered, doesn't make you dressed up one bit. Sorry for the rant, everyone knows this continually gets me going. And this post isn't directed at anyone, just the stupid ass rule that's in place and IMO isn't logical for the year 2018 in Cancun in the summer. Maybe wearing long pants was a generational thing, and my 92 year old grand pop agrees, but if this resort is supposed to be fresh/modern, than this rule isn't.
I agree with you 100 percent Steve . I bought some linen pants for this trip and wore them for dinner, they were not that bad compared to jeans. But I would have been way more comfortable in nice shorts and a Tommy Bahama shirt.
But what if it's a 'Make America Great Again" bright red Lil number. And the nice restaurant is located in a Trump Hotel?
I completely agree. It's not just the hotel with the inconsistent policy. It's the many posters who like to claim, "no body knows you, and nobody gives a shit", and then, go on a clearly give a shit about lots of stuff. The whole dress to impress thing gets on my nerves. I don't care how you dress, or how I'm dressed, if my wife is fine with it, then I'm fine with it. It surprises me how often this comes up. The most frustrating part is for people who don't follow along here much, and then show up not knowing the rules have changed. I didn't need long pants in my first two trips, but apparently will now to eat at the Italian.
The 'rules' are clearly defined in the hotel's website. As in any other 4/5 star hotel's website. Read. Be informed. Make your choices.
And what if my dining companions are Michael Moore and the Pope? Then can I wear a hat, so as to fit in with the table? Or does the pope have to remove his too? I wouldn't want to be the one to have to tell him 'Hey Popey lose that papal tiara thing or we are gonna get tossed!' Or that the chattering classes on CCC think he is rude and offensive
