I'm sure they had no idea it was disrespectful. I never thought about what I wore to govt buildings in Canada and had no idea there were such rules here until dr1.
I always bring the appropriate clothes to govt buildings bc I don't want more problems but the wife forgot her past the knee skirt one time in SD and had short shorts on, I have to say I thought they were going to not allow us to proceed but they didn't bat an eye.
She was stopped in a GH public hospital for wearing shorts once and was not going to be allowed to see a friends new born baby after much arguing between the parents and the Security Guard she was allowed in. The Security Guard actually hit her legs with his billy club thing. We had no idea you couldn't wear shorts in a Hospital?!
Agree..to each his/her own..but I do try to be as comfortable as possible. My spouse stopped wearing shorts as did my son a long time ago now that this has been mentioned (and I have to think about it). Go figure. Me, I have no shame..lol...I will be as comfortable as I can be and when needed will dress appropriately..lol (I try)
Look dude I know all that and also think la drama queen needs a good f.ing.
My thing is who would you rather step out with? A dressed up lady from la capital with nails to match the belt and sandals or some rag muffin from the north coast. For me, I am getting ready to get dressed. Shower, shave, and clean arse shirt, creased pants, smelling good and taking one of my lady friends out for dinner............. Way of life in la capital
I promise I don't feel uncomfortable in jeans even if it hot. Of course, I prefer dresses during the summer (but see Maxi or Mini feels the same to me).
But, HUG is up to something, may be people with Melanin instinctively hide from the sun,lol. My son got sun-burnt badly last summer in DR playing in the pool within in the couple of days(I was worried about Chikun and forgot about sunscreen) My son is is the darkest one.
Maybe, but I think it's largely a cultural think. In hot weather countries, children wear short pants nearly all the time. Unless they're at the beach, men wear long pants, period. Short pants worn by men is almost exclusively a NA/Euro thing.
What's with the guys wearing pajama pants out? Kinda odd no? Maybe it is only on the NC, no idea. I personally find it very comfy just surprised Doms think this is ok.
....because we are a bunch of gringos thinking we blend in because we wear long pants....just like the Dominicans.
