Would you join a club that did not have a dress code?

[Orikoru]

I would argue that’s less simple and extremely ambiguous. You say no dress code but then ask people to leave if they don’t dress as expected

I’d also hope you’re joking about the socks , shorts and open neck as once again that goes against the “we don’t have a dress code” as if that’s not allowed you clearly do!

Each club is entitled to their own code but to say you don’t have one then tell people they’re not dressed as expected screams otherwise

Err yeah, this. "We don't have a dress code - but if you don't meet the standards of the imaginary dress code in our heads, then you're out!" Clear as mud.

By definition then asking people to dress as expected is a dress code.

I’d happily play golf in short, ankle socks and a normal t shirt. But seemingly that would fall short of your clubs expected. Unless you tell people what’s expected then, then you’re open to ambiguity.

I’m not going to re-open the sock debate but ankle socks are no more offensive than muppets wearing Knee length hose but that is accepted everywhere.

Apparently not

I don’t have anyone on ignore apart those people who’s post I can’t see.

It isn't a code is an expectation that people behave appropriately we don't need to tell people how to behave.

Think you are trying to find a loophole but your club have a dress code - it’s very simple

I think what is allowed to be worn in the clubhouse depends on what type of club you are.
If you are a club with a bar and restaurant it makes sense to try and generate more money from the general public so a more relaxed dress code makes sense.
If you’re purely a member only club then you can have whatever dress code your members decide on as it won’t affect the income.

It’s all about knowing your target market.
If you have a restaurant open to the public but jacket and tie must be worn after 17.00 then you’re going to struggle to attract Joe Public.

It's even simpler no code just an expectation of sensible behaviour and dress.

The expectation is a dress code

Can people wear whatever they want at your club ?

No, simple would be expressing what you expect people to wear. Expecting them to correctly guess what you want them to wear is not simple.
