  1. It has nothing to do with wealth or class...it has everything to do with taste.

    You can be comfy and casual and not look like you are heading out to the gym/some light Tennis. I am more casual than a lot of women I know but I make sure my wear is appropriate for the event. There is casual then there is sports wear...a big difference.I was simply trying to suggest comfy and casual alternatives rather than a tracksuit such as lightweight jeans,casual lightweight trousers, polo shirts, t-shirts, tasteful jumpers and so on for men.

     

    I work with families and children from 40-50 different countries, some who rely on food banks weekly and have all sorts of going on in their home lives. I am not judgemental.

     

    In the UK, people wont often shout 'chav' at someone. But they are more likely to mention it when they read about a tracksuited youth in the paper and say 'Oh this chav stole 3 cars' type of thing.

    The definition ties tracksuit and "lower class", thus my statement on wealthy people who might not "appear" so to some. Whether or not they, or anyone, lacks "tastefulness" in their attire or appearance can often times be a gray area and a matter of opinion influenced by many factors.

  2. I'm just offering another perspective - that of maybe not judging others based on their attire, regardless of occasion.

     

    Maybe it's different than the UK or wherever, but I know (or know of) some pretty wealthy people who dress far "less" than the part, whether it's a wedding or a trip to the market. It might be seen as the chav-equivalent by some who don't know any better. And based on my travels throughout the US, I think I live in a very diverse, tolerant area that probably has the least "protocol" when it comes to attire, at least very generally speaking. People do as they please, and others accept it. I can't imagine a dude here getting any blowback on a widespread scale like you describe for wanting to rock a tracksuit everyday.

  3. The expression "So what" certainly does not indicate any advocacy of anything - if anything it suggests "who gives a damn?".

     

    So, back to your judgmental "condescending/stereotypical much" snipe.

    I've clarified my post, or what I'm "advocating." Either you missed it or don't like it.

     

    And you've clarified yours - the self-appointed gatekeeper.

  4. I cruised from SF to HI and back. Great time w/family but never again. I'll spend those two weeks on multiple islands. And POA? Please. I'm not flying there to get on a ship.

     

    I'd be perfectly happy if the remaining vacations in my life were all spent on the islands only.

  5. I would never wear a track suit in the MDR. Unlike some busybodies on these boards, I would not concern myself whatsoever with it if someone else chose to do so.
    This. Wear a track suit, grass skirt, tutu, wife beater, whatever. Join hands and say a pre-meal prayer in your track suit, if you want. While you're at it, you might as well ask the maitre d to announce your arrival at your table.

     

    I don't care and won't be sitting with you anyway since we don't dine with strangers. It won't affect my meal nor the time I enjoy with my family while on vacation.
