What are the views of members regarding the wearing of vests by men who dine out in the evening.

Do you think that it is appropriate.

It's ok in the afternoons but I always wear a Tshirt not vest in the evenings.Depending on the venue I have been known to wear short sleeved shirt,against my will.It isn't etiquette it's manners.

It depends a lot on the location of the premises and what sort of clientele it serves and to some extent the time.



Do you mean vest as in sleeveless under-vest type thing?

Totally agree with Groucho. Mens sweaty armpits - yuk!!!!! Some things are best covered up. Vests only really look good on young fit people - imho.

Quite agree, but the same should apply to many of the Ladies of a "Hirsute" persuasion that one sees dinning out at various establishments...Enough to put you right off your gastronomic delights ...

Most men like to wear a short sleeved shirt when eating out of an evening , its only a few that don't have pride in themselves...

Vests are daywear as far as I am concerned, Tshirts or short sleeved shirts of an evening.I would also wear long pants or them calf lenghthed thingies of an evening never shorts.It's only after I am well oiled and dancing on the tables that the clothes come off.

Hi Lilli, I know that it's just too easy to single out Brits (men & women) for not being able to look as "good" as some other nationals in hot weather but I was just hinting at what may be one way of keeping vest wearing men out of a dining establishment. Clearly some restaurants want the custom whatever the customer looks like but a lot of customers want to eat in pleasant surroundings - otherwise they would have stayed at home and kept their vest on ;-).



Interesting that some people know how to dress relaxed without appearing like the laundry basket on legs whilst some don't.



"Simples" (referring to a UK based "Inshuurance" advert): if you are a bloke just wear at least a short-sleeved shirt with a collar up top and trousers when dining in a restaurant in the evening. You will still be comfortable and who knows.....may even look attractive 8->

It's about time this island had a dress code, as does Malta and other places. whether morning, afternoon and evening, there are certain modes of dress that are acceptable without causing offence. Seeing bikini bras walking down the high street (admittedly with shorts or skirts) I find offensiv e and know in the eyes of locals it is unacceptable.

Bring back respect and a bit of glamour. Everyone feels better and looks better. Nothing to do with heat - look what they wear in places such as India - covered up and gorgeous.

so in answer to message 1 - no, no, no to vests - except on the beach!

As I've said before - about other subjects - it's all a matter of standards. Sadly there are many here who haven't got a clue how to behave.



It's not that long ago that there was a notice in Girne police station - immigration dept - telling people that if they turned up ''improperly dressed'' they would be turned away. Interestingly the notice was only in English.



During the summer months it is not unusual to see big fat lumps of Brit shopper sin supermarkets wandering round stripped to the waist, sweating like pigs. Why don't the management of these establishments turf them out.....? It's enough to put one off one's lunch/dinner!

Hear, hear, Trooper. Still the good side is that seeing these folk in the supermarkets puts one off one's food, and with a waistline that needs decreasing, (mine, I mean) , these folk are doing me a favour - but yes, they should not be allowed in the shop. The notice from the Police Station should be in all public places - and of course, it shows who the offenders are by the language used. Shame on we Brits.

Please give it a rest, You used to be funny with your posts but now you are just plain boring.



When out and about in town I sometimes cringe when I see how some people both male and female dress



Women with short skirts and bikini tops and men with shorts and nothing on top. Don't they realise



that this is a muslim country? Maybe I am an old fuddy duddy but I always wear crops or long trousers



when going to town and keep the shorts for home. We are guests here and should show some respect.

If you eat out in a good restaurant - where the decor, food and prices reflect its above average - then a vest is unsuitable. When ladies take care to dress up and look good its an insult, to her, if the man accompanies her in a T shirt and bermudas/cut offs/football strip etc. Just a bit of common sense is required - sweaty dollops of lard exposed to the elements are not de rigeur for say House or Niazis or whatever 44ers favourite restaurant is.

NN, I distinctly remember you grabbing your partner's boobs giving them a good jiggle and declaring them 'money well spent'..... in Tumba restaurant... hardly the behaviour of the 'elite' was it? And let's remember the irony of the fact that you once chose to buy here and take your statement for what it is.

Message 34..."..a muslim country"...As far as I know Turkey and TRNC are secular states.



Places such as Oman or Saudi etc. can be classed as muslim countries.



Regarding the topic...I think vests in the evening are fine in some places but not others. As has been stated by others, the restaurants etc should be able to determine what they want.



Personally I always wear a shirt with a collar and long trousers...but after 23 years in Oman I would, wouldn't I.

Not ALL the ladies by any means wear headscarfs and long clothes. A very large number wear anything but this type of apparel!



Please note, I agree with the "respect" idea too...I was simply pointing out that to describe TRNC/Turkey as a muslim country is incorrect.

One has only to look at people who are used to living in really hot climates and the cotton shirts with sleeves to allow for the wind to blow up the sleeves, up the front and up the back which they wear, or kaftans or nice indian long shirts, to realise that they are far cooler than vests or nakedness. and if you are not sure that is for Cyprus, then take a look at the locals - they must know a thing or two in terms of comfort and ethics.

jimchris09,



This afternoon I have had a long discussion with my Turkish Cypriot neighbour, he is about 30 years old and I have asked him if the TRNC is a muslim country. He looked at me in astonishment for asking such a question and his reply was that of course it is a muslim country. The south is christian and the north is muslim and that is fact,

it is not a strict muslim country and he wouldn't wish it to be and that they have very liberal views on lots of things. They enjoy a drink which is forbidden in some muslim countries, however they follow lots of the teachings

of the Koran. Before we retired and moved to the TRNC we worked for a muslim family for 10 years, they were sunny muslims and again were quite liberal. They were a lovely family and taught my husband and I lots of things that we didn't know through ignorance about their faith.

don't be 'rude' Roomy. Great Britain is supposed to be 'christian' - hence the royal wedding in a christian establishment, but the nation is secular in its habits, and with many immigrants is a lot of other things as well.

And learning something, whether from a monied boss or at the feet of a uni lecturer (as I did) doesn't mean you are an 'idiot'. I studied Islam but I am not a Muslim, but I do recognise that their ethics, standards etc are definitely Jewish/Christian and most of the comments here have come from such a basis too. something corny about 'Love thy neighbour' or that lovely lady from The Water \Babies 'Mrs Do as you would be done by'.

something to do with human rights and duties?

so need to be rude, but there is plenty of need to try to understand why we have standards and how we should live them, especially in a foreign land. Or put it another way - would you go to Buck House on a hot day wearing a vest!

for those upset by the vest wearing diners perhaps the answer is topless dining for the discerning diners in trnc ?

It would be interesting to know how many on here who are against the wearing of vests (i would rather they wore a shirt etc ) who would think nothing of blowing smoke into the face of other diners (dont say it,no smoking in pubs clubs etc ) whilst eating or just relaxing and think nothing of it,i have many times seen male/female in their fancy clothes eating in a disgusting manner like pigs at the trough,its down to the owners and staff to stop this ,but when it comes to money,well you know the answer to that.

Personally, I think vests on men are not on for eating out in a restaurant and particularly not at night. Tshirt is fine, but not a vest.

Re : Msg 81,



It is what Marion was writing about - etiquette - not only the word but the notion itself unfamiliar to many these days.

Saw a guy in a meeting at a Bank but he wasnt wearing a vest he was topless! Used to work for a lawyer and guys used to come in with their vests! Awful.

What an intersting thread.



A vest inmy opinion is not evening restaurant wear - howver some T-shirt type vests may be considered appropriate by the weare - it is of course 100 % better than men with no tops on !!!! In England I used to make men with no tops on that came intomy hair salon -sit with a hairdressing gown on - it is just not appropriate !!!! anywhere public at anytime !!!!



I find the daytime dress code more inappropriate - how many times do you see women in just their tiny bikini tops and a mini sarong doing there shopping ????? would they walk aroundthe shops at Clacton on Sea like that ???? ( no cos its too cold LOL !!) But seriously this really is quite shocking - and then of course they wander why people are staring at them .



It is an issue that will not be resolved unless establishments stop these people from entering there shops and restaurants.



Anyway just my opinion of course !!!!

again its all double standards its the pearson, someone wearing a suite can turn out to be a great pain in the arse,

shower gel and deoderant are cheap some one in a shirt of good quality can still stink!!



I dont like to see bikini tops or vests when im eating,



ps lots of you seem to have problems with tattoos, the days are gone when it was only service people and crooks who had them!

few of the old boilers on here could do with a tatoo or two

Tattoos look ok for a few years then when male and female hit the 50s you cant see what the tattoo is! as its hanging on loose skin! .. They look terrible, think its as bad as a vests ..



You cant help but look cos its so awful ..lol

Steady on Dizzy. That sounds like the bit in Forrest Gump. Remember, where Forrest tells the President he was shot in the but-tocks! And the President says he would like to see that!

People have been known to wear vests here while dining - bullet-proof vests!

One of my old uni chums did that once and she got a distinction.

'Mutton dressed as lamb' is a phrase you don't hear much nowadays, isn't it?

Msg. 53 I agree, both you and I must be snobs. The standard of dress in the evenings and in restaurants by a growing number of British men is dropping like a concrete balloon. Why oh why can't they dress like French or Italian men in the evenings, they have style!!



The way that whole families of Brit holiday makers dress when shopping is also obscene, great fat sweaty bright red beer bellies, wobbling up and down the aisles is grotesque and that's just the women. Have they absolutely no pride? No, is the answer.
