Dress code

Answers I can handle, judgements based on assumptions not so much

What she wants to wear isn't against the dress code. As long as she's comfortable, that's what matters.

Where did people come up with this idea that they have a right not to be judged?

Sorry if I'm repeating (I didn't scroll thourgh everything), but it will probably come down to the style of the sports bra. If it looks like underwear (e.g., lace-trimmed, shiny, visible underwire or hooks) or if it's so low-cut or see-through that nipples or overflowing cleavage are visible, you should be prepared for someone to ask you to cover it up. If it looks like sportswear (made from sturdy, opaque material, with detailing that suggests it was meant to be seen), I wouldn't imagine anyone would look twice.

Either way, I'd bring a lightweight top to throw over it, if only because when you pop into restaurants or shops in the air conditioning, you may be freezing!

People are assuming a great deal about this hypothetical sports bra. How do you know it’s white? How do you know it isn’t already designed to preserve the wearer’s modesty when wet?

Heh?

I'm not assuming anything.

Someone I do not know, and will not see, asked a question about what to wear at WDW. Truly, what jedijake45 wears during their honeymoon has zero bearing on my life.

But in the interest of attempting to help them, I offered as near to factual information as possible, including actual park photos of people in WDW from about 5 days ago.

WDW sees rain most days this time of year. I was caught in the downpours myself and saw what happened to MY clothes, and those of my companions. Wet denim is particularly miserable.

Alas though, this whole discussion has devolved into dumb nitpicking. Good grief!

Don’t feel that way at all, but I’ll call it when I see it and hear it.
Go ahead and come back with more of your “who me?” snark

Not directing this at anyone but it’s sad looking at how people used to dress so nice to go to the parks and now… let’s just say it’s a downgrade.

I am absolutely in that category. T-shirt, basketball shorts and crocs and socks. I am such a slob at the parks.

Sports bras are designed to prevent from flopping around while the wearer exercises. That's the extent of what they're designed to do.

Crocs AND socks

I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but you're coming across as something of a voyeur.

lol...or just stating a fact.

No this tread was started because my wife had a legit question about the dress code. People like you are passing judgement on my wife, whom you don’t know. We want to have a great trip and enjoy the Disney magic which we LOVE!!! We are not there to “prance around lululemon bras.” We don’t Judge your “middle aged” outfits extend the same respect to us please.

Ignore the old timers who likely have questionable fashion tastes themselves. Personally, I’m planning to stop my Lululemon myself to purchase a sports bra to wear for my next Disney trip. I’ll leave my shirt at home and pair the bra with some booty shorts to ensure that the 3-piece-suiters and the kitten heels folks are shaking in their boots.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

shaking in their boots.

Boots would be a ridiculous choice in that climate.

Seasonally appropriate footwear, ma'am.

I have seen the evolution or devolution of dress from the beginning of WDW and it certainly has changed but then again that is all of todays society

totally agree

Have you noticed the way people go to church (the ones that still do) these days? I do wear NICE jeans and CLEAN sneakers, but you can always tell the regulars from the “cafeteria Catholics”…I realize that they are grateful for ANYONE to attend, but I draw the line at ripped jeans, ratty t shirts, flip flops and chewing gum like a prized 4H entrant…

I agree, especially the more traditional churches. There are the new wave of churches, around here its Lifechurch, where they have basically a rock band and want to appear hip and cool. Those I think the dress code can be lessened, but i still believe in either slacks and a long sleeve shirt or at minimum a collared shirt and really nice jeans.

I understand comfort, but there should be something to wanting to appear like you didnt just wake up.

Side note from history.
During the great depression, lots of unemployed men would still put on their suits, get in their car and drive away at the time they used to go to work. They might just walk downtown, they might ask for temp work, they might look for a job. But the major reason was to keep appearances that they were still employed. It was all about appearances. I dont think we need to get back to there, but a happy medium would be nice.

 

[ppete1975]

I don't really care what others wear so long as...

• I can stare a little if it is in any way a spectacle
• It does not include language that will get my kids in trouble if they repeat at school
• It is hygienic - no groin sprinklin's left behind

That said, I would not wear anything likely to offend out of respect for others. I feel this should be reciprocated, but understand society is going a little narcissistic and what others think is not longer part of the decision making process.

I like you lol, I needed a really good laugh.

Well some rides do like to throw things around.....

If we are to use this reasoning, we should only see men in athletic "sweat" pants if they plan on jogging, basketball shorts if they are playing basketball, cargo pants if they plan on doing some adventuring in the jungle, a baseball cap if they plan on playing 9, a polo shirt if they plan on golfing or, ya know playing polo, and jeans if they plan on working the ranch or a rodeo.
As others have said, some sports bras are as modest as a regular tank top.

Correct.

basketball shorts if they are playing basketball

Correct.

cargo pants if they plan on doing some adventuring in the jungle

Wut?

a baseball cap if they plan on playing 9

A baseball cap is not attire, it's an accessory. It should only be worn outdoors, just like sunglasses.

a polo shirt if they plan on golfing or, ya know playing polo

A polo shirt is appropriate for pretty much any casual situation.

and jeans if they plan on working the ranch or a rodeo.

Denim is centuries old and has nothing to do with "ranching" or "rodeo."

As others have said, some sports bras are as modest as a regular tank top.

It's not a matter of modesty, it's a matter of purpose. A man's bathing suit is just as modest as a man's shorts, but you don't wear one unless you're going swimming. The issue with a sports bra isn't how much it covers or doesn't cover, it's that it's a bra.
