I am neither a sharp nor sloppy dresser. I fall somewhere in the middle.
However thongs ( jandals) are for the beach or the shower. Ugg boots are just really big slippers. Jeans ( neat and tidy) traverse all dress codes these days. A tie ? There are times when it's necessary. A jacket or blazer will lift casual to smart casual. And clean / polished shoes or sandshoes are better than scuffed /scruffy .
A smart suit rarely looks out of place

As I completely agree with it, I liked it as well, if that helps ;).

I'm normally t-shirt, jeans, and black sneakers when traveling. Wouldn't be caught dead in sandals or Uggs or the like in a lounge. Don't know if they have the same "no shoes, no shirt, no service" that some places have up here in the States down there, but QF should put it at the lounge entrance door!

Following up someone else's comment........

Many many moons ago I worked at a mine in WA, for lunch and evening meal you were not allowed in the dinning room without having had a shower and be in reasonable casual which was no fluro, no singlets. If for some reason you had your work clothes on you had to have your meal as a take away.

The kitchen/serving staff had the right of refusal which was backed by mine management (even though a contractor ran the mess services)

Miners these days do have lower standards at least compared to the mine I worked at in the early 1990's.

Either they are lazy or don't care what others think. If lounge staff clamped down and refused entry to a few people word would spread quickly and people would improve their standards when they start missing a few free beers.

It is the same at all our our minesites. I wear fluro into the QP as I have to fly in fluro. However I am polite, courteous and my clothes are clean. I use a separate pair of boots for flying so I don't drag all that dust everywhere.

Are bare feet acceptable now?????

Am sitting in the QF Business lounge in Bangkok, and there is someone serving himself at the food bar without shoes on, not even thongs.... I know it is late, and I think that only the flight remaining is a Jetstar flight (that I am on), and the standards here are already pretty low, but really????? No shoes, no thongs, nothing????

Well, it didn't get any better at the gate. Sprawled out over 3 or 4 seats was a man lying on his back, with his tshirt reaching to just below his nipples and his giant, round, bare stomach reaching for the ceiling. I was looking down from above, from the cabin bag check line, and was a about to take a picture, when he opened his eyes. Suddenly about 10 or 15 of us had to pretend to be looking elsewhere. But at least he was wearing shoes, I guess.

I didn't realise that a person may have to fly in fluro, just wondering why that may be, is it just to go straight to I work?

Yes, can go directly to site as opposed to getting changed. I'm one of the few that irons my site clothing. :D

On my last project it was company policy for everyone to come dressed to work when returning from R&R.

Same here.

I disagree with BAM1748 with respect to the comment about lower standards these days. Policies are still the same with all the companies I've seen in the last 8-9 years i.e. no work clothes / singlets / barefeet / gym clothing etc at dinner. Take away is usually not allowed.
