Just checking - men's mdr attire

[Phlybice]

Are nice shorts acceptable for men in MDR???

 

As long as they're long dress shorts, and it's not elegant night, and it's Carnival.

It depends what you're looking for. If you seek approval from all your fellow diners, then dress appropriately. If you truly care not what others think of you, then wear shorts.

 

It seems to me that with these ongoing arguments about "dress codes" the goal is to gain approval for one's dress, no matter how casual. These posts are a not-so-subtle way of demanding that others approve.

 

Honestly I don't care what anyone thinks about me other than my family. I am not looking for approval. Just making conversation.

All?

 

Not quite - many people aren't still stuck in the 70's. Most shorts on non-elegant night are perfectly and 100% acceptable.
