I wonder if there is even a single player in the tournament who cares about the dress code. It is hard to imagine anyone who was serious about chess caring about the material a player’s pants are made of. No, I think this falls squarely in the realm of bureaucratic administrators who have nothing better to do than assert their power and maintain the illusion of a connection between talent (great chess players) and the trivial signaling games of the upper class (the style of pants one is wearing).

The title of the dress code PDF is helpful—-something like “proposal of Ms B Marinello”.

But I wonder if another player complained to the administrators.

Possibly this is not the actual dress code? Or I'm missing something.

3.a. The following is acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. -- Suits, ties, dressy pants, trousers, jeans...

3.b. The following is NOT acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. -- Beach-wear slips, profanity and nude or semi-nude pictures printed on shirts, torn pants or jeans...

It's interesting that they are trying to enforce a different dress code for men and women. Surprising that's not seen some heat.
