That's interesting. Where I'm from, management still retains the right to refuse service provided it's not on the basis of race, religion, gender or orientation. Turning up to a club and even some pubs on a Saturday night wearing jeans/trainers will get definately the doormen twitching.

To that end I generally avoid functions where others tell me how I should and should not preserve my modesty. I do go to formal functions on occasion and I am always properly attired at such. It would be discourteous to my hosts to do otherwise but it's the company I'm there for not the fact I've got full bib an' tucker on. I've also got mates who just cannot get their heads around why I would want to be seen out kilted and see it as a "look at me everybody" statement. All these mates wear jeans as a first choice and blend in nicely. Denim does provide anonimity if that's what you want.
