The president of a court in southern Italy has become so aghast at people parading around the palace of justice "dressed indecently" that he has banned skimpy summer wear.
In an official letter sent to the security team at the Brindisi court, President Francesco Giardino laments the unpleasant situations that have arisen as high temperatures has given way to plunging necklines and rising hems.
To avoid a repeat of unpleasant situations at the entrance of the court, we inform you that entrance will not be permitted to people dressed indecently, Giardino wrote in the letter, published on Monday by Ansa.
In the letter, the court president specifically outlaws shorts
clothes that are excessively low-cut and/or transparent, miniskirts, flip-flops in a bid to tackle uncouth attire.
The move should prevent any beachgoers from Brindisi, in the heel of Italys boot, from wandering into the courtroom unawares.
With temperatures in southern Italy frequently topping 40C during the summer months, authorities elsewhere have taken to setting citizens dress code. Last year, at least two Italian mayors, in Sicily and on the Amalfi Coast, banned bikinis from the town centre.

Even around the beach or pool?

I prefer being barefoot on the sand, but they can be useful from the car to the sand.
To: nickcarraway

People dress like slobs. The only reply to that is......
Nunya!!!

Beach or pool is fine. I just can’t stand the slobbishness of wearing them everywhere. I’ve heard females say, “I want to show off my pedicure.”
Hello? Ever heard of sandals?
