[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course the rule still exists.  Why would it not?  Just because you look around town and some people choose not to follow it?  People chew with their mouths open too but it doesn't mean it is proper etiquette just because it is 2012.  Would you wear seersucker in December if the temperature weren't an issue?  Why not?

No patent leather either.  Why not wear nude shoes (but not patent) with your white pants? [/quote]

fashion does not actually equal etiquette. The rule exists to mostly to anyone born before 1980 but now can be considered trendy of fashion forward to break it (if done correctly). Upon doing some research the rule is lax for certain warmer climates in the south as well. The rule should be considered (especially depending on occasion) but not followed stringently. It is in no way rude, but you do risk not looking right if you don't pull it off.[/quote]

It pains me that this implies that anyone born before 1980 is "old" in the sense that they were taught these "old fashioned rules."  That is anyone over 32![/quote]

Sorry, I am the person you quoted and it pains me too. I was born in 80 so I have been raised with this rule but also see it as outdated, especially in the last decade. [/quote]

So did YOU decide that the rule exists mostly to anyone born before 1980?  If this is not just your opinion, do you actually have an established etiquette source for the so-called "1980 cutoff"?  Can the people born 1979 and earlier hire a lobbyist to help them get out from under the rule?  We all need waivers.  I see a special interest group forming. We need our own Super PAC to pay for the advocacy efforts.[/quote]
