Queensland is going glam

The dress code, supported by QRIC and BOTRA, for the Carnival is as follows:

MALE ATTIRE

A collared dress shirt (short or long sleeve), long trousers, dress jeans (no holes).
Trainers and stablehands must wear enclosed shoes (not joggers) in acceptable condition.
Throughout the meeting Drivers shall wear boots which may be black or dark tan and which entirely cover feet and ankles and afford reasonable protection in accordance with AHR Rule 159A (4).
Drivers are asked to comply with this dress code on their arrival and departure from the meeting.

FEMALE ATTIRE

Modest blouse, dresses or skirts.
Trousers, dress jeans (no holes).
Trainers and stablehands must wear enclosed shoes (not joggers) in an acceptable condition.
Throughout the meeting Drivers shall wear boots which may be black or dark tan and which entirely cover feet and ankles and afford reasonable protection in accordance with AHR Rule 159A (4).
Drivers are asked to comply with this dress code on their arrival and departure from the meeting.

The following attire is deemed UNACCEPTABLE:

Singlets and T-shirts.
Shorts
Tracksuit pants or overalls.
Ragged, unclean or torn clothing.
Clothing with offensive slogans.
Thongs, sandals, ugg boots or footwear of an unacceptable standard.
Trainers, stablehands and drivers (other than when in their racing attire) are required to comply with this code.

I assume that, for the rest of the time, it is OK to dress like a slob. That is, of course, if anybody other than participants bother to attend Albion Park these days. I am having vision of a pig in a silk shirt.

Naturalists are not welcome!
