Yale Club Dress Code

Not the most exciting post in the world (we'll go back to Harry Potter soon, I promise!), but I thought it would be useful to post the Yale Club Dress Code here. Please bear in mind that this code does NOT apply when walking in and out of the club (i.e. to go sightseeing from your room) but it does apply if you want to go into a lounge or restaurant at the club. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them (I didn't know about the dress code until recently, so I'm learning along with you)!

Yale Club Dress Code

Traditional business attire (jackets and neckties for men, equally appropriate attire for women) is always welcome in all public rooms.

Business casual dress is required in all public rooms at all times except the athletic facilities.

Business casual dress for men includes: collared shirts or sweaters, turtlenecks, dress slacks, khakis or corduroy trousers and socks.

Business casual dress for women includes: collared shirts, blouses, turtlenecks or sweaters and skirts or tailored pants. (I assume khakis are fine for women as well).

Not permitted are: denim, tee shirts, casual sandals, athletic wear of any kind (including footwear and caps) and torn, provocative or revealing clothing.

At all times, a reasonable standard of neatness should be observed.

If you google the Yale Club in New York and look for reviews, it's pretty interesting what people say about the dress code. Some folks find it annoying and others see it as a slice of propriety in an otherwise unproprietous world! I'll be curious to hear what you think too!
