Australia Has Unique Clothing Culture Clothing Requirements Should Consider Regional Differences.

Recently, Qantas has implemented strict dress requirements for the first class and business class passengers entering the VIP lounge since April 1st.

Qantas asked these passengers to wear "fashion casual wear", but did not specify the specific standards.

On the 1 day, many Qantas passengers were denied entry to the VIP room due to their dress problems, and passengers complained and criticized in social media.

There are precedents for passenger wear requirements.

There are different versions.

Australia has unique clothing culture, dress requirements have regional differences.

Liu Hanzhen: it is not the first time that the Atlanta lounge waiting for the guests to wear a dress code. Many airlines have already made similar provisions for the clothing of the first class and business class passengers, but these Provisions are generally not strictly enforced.

As early as February, Qantas warned against this requirement.

Li Mingbo: This is the embodiment of Western etiquette culture.

Westerners attach great importance to social occasions.

The VIP lounge, like the airport, is mainly for the first class and business class air tickets. Many people regard it as a formal social networking site.

Liu Hanzhen: dress etiquette in western countries is closely related to their aristocratic activities and religious activities since ancient times. It has affected the clothing habits of other parts of the world.

For example, attending church services, attending congressional activities, royal banquet, opera scene, Oscar or Grammy Awards ceremony, these occasions have strict requirements for participants' costumes.

But now many western countries have also learned from these western dress etiquette standards.

Australia has unique clothing culture.

Wang Xiyi: Although most of the Australian whites are descendants of Britain, after more than 200 years of development and evolution, the immigrant population of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds has poured into each other, forming Australia's unique multiculturalism.

Many traditional etiquette in Britain, especially the rules of red tape, have disappeared in Australian daily life.

Li Mingbo: Western dress culture is also very different, for example, the British dress is more formal and traditional.

American dress is completely different. For example, the jeans culture originated in the United States can not be widely welcomed in Britain.

Liu Hanzhen: British culture mainly takes western culture with classical aristocratic flavor, while American culture is more popular. Jeans, T-shirts and flip flops can be seen everywhere in the United States, and this kind of civilian clothing culture has also spread to other countries.

Wang Xiyi: most parts of Australia are hot in summer, plus a long coastline, forming the country's landmark sunshine beach culture.

So Australians like to wear flip flops.

Another point is that Australia has a vast territory, and its flight distance can sometimes exceed two hours.

Many people love to wear flip flops for comfort.

There are different versions.

Regional differences in dress requirements

Li Mingbo: I feel this dress code is not humanized, because not all first-class and business class passengers are going to do business activities.

Australia is a tourist attraction. There are beaches and Great Barrier Reef. Many people may wear sandals and sandals to go out.

Wang Xiyi: affinity and freedom are one of the core of Australian culture.

Many Australians do not like to follow rules and behave comfortably and comfortably. Nowadays, some people tell them what to wear and what to wear. Many people will feel uncomfortable at first.

Li Mingbo: if guests wear

Airlines lost their chance to enter the lounge.

Because the first class and business class tickets include the use of VIP rooms.

Liu Hanzhen: I feel that Qantas's requirements for the costumes of the guests in the VIP room can not achieve their actual purpose.

Because some passengers can bring slippers and pajamas to the aircraft through the trunk. When they are waiting for a flight, they are dressed in suits and conform to the standard. After boarding, they can still be changed into so-called unqualified clothing.

Wang Xiyi: what is interesting is that although Qantas put forward strict requirements for dress code, it also noticed regional differences.

Qantas's dress code is not implemented in Darwin, the Northern Territory capital, as well as in the airport of Keynes and Gold Coast. The former is in the desert area of Australia, and the latter two are famous beaches.

This arrangement is also very reasonable.

Liu Hanzhen: I saw a Japanese netizen talking about a problem. Some Japanese tourists who flew from Tokyo to Hawaii were on the first class or business class in comfortable and comfortable clothes, but they felt a psychological burden because they were out of tune with their Western suits.

It is said that many tourists even put on formal business clothes and boarded the plane for their holiday destinations, and then returned to their leisure holiday clothes after reaching their destinations.

There are different versions.

Li Mingbo: Although Chinese culture also attaches importance to dress etiquette, like the ancient Chinese proverb, "people depend on clothes and horses and saddles", but I always feel that Chinese people do not attach importance to clothes and clothes as Westerners do.

In addition to extremely large occasions, Chinese people dress casually at other times.

Wang Xiyi: Although the old Chinese saying "people depend on clothes", sometimes it is superficial to judge a person solely by his clothes.

How can one judge a man wearing a flip flop but behaved courteously, and a man in a suit but speaking loudly and even putting his feet on the table?

Li Mingbo: what is more important is that if it is complained by other passengers just because of the dress problem, I think it is a "dress discrimination".

Liu Hanzhen: maybe it is based on this implicit discrimination that Qantas actually did not give very specific requirements.

After the implementation of this regulation, all the "offences" came from the flip flops.

That is to say, apart from the "bruising" such as flip flops, vests and shorts, Qantas staff will not easily shut out guests.

Li Mingbo: same as Eastern culture, China, Japan and Korea.

Also different.

There are almost no differences in facial features between China, Japan and Korea, but I find many salesmen in the shops can easily identify the three people. The mystery is that the dress habits of the three peoples are different, or the taste of dressing is different.
