The FIDE dress code [1] appears to only forbid torn jeans, but otherwise explicitly allows them:

> The following is acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. Suits, ties, dressy pants, trousers, *jeans*.

And then later:

> 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.

Magnus did not wear torn jeans [2], I can’t see any justification for this enforcement choice.

Don’t even get me started on the sex differences in these rules.

That appears to be from 2013 which is before the rule change that Carlsen is being hit with was made. AFAIK the change happened only a couple of years later.
