The defending champion said he quit as a "matter of principle" after being told to change his jeans.

    I could absolutely see a dresscode being enforced heavily if it was seen by the opponent during the match, then a choice of color or style could be done to mess with the opponent, but they sit at a table, the opponent can’t see his pants, as long as the pants would be acceptable for an IT guy in an office, they should be acceptable here

      Somehow I doubt a loud tie is banned. This is just arbitrary shit made up by petty tyrants.

      I’ve worked IT jobs that require khakis and it’s equally stupid and pointless.

      Jeans aren’t acceptable attire at any place I’ve done IT work for.

        I work in finance IT and have never had any complaints about jeans.

        That’s wild. Can’t remember a job I was not working in jeans… usually had a polo but other than that, pretty informal.

        Wow I never had a comment about any clothing in my IT jobs and I just wear whatever I would otherwise, almost always jeans in some form for the lower body. Graphic tees, band shirts etc quite often as well. I’d hate to work in a that stuck up environment.
