Dress Code

Drai’s Hollywood at the top of the W Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard recently opened and it’s a lush and extravagant new nightspot aimed at big spenders. Therefore we were surprised to be informed of the “dress code” there. In Los Angeles a dress code seems puzzling and somewhat anachronistic. (Usually security people at club entrances decide on the spot which outfits don’t make the cut.) But Drai’s patrons are encouraged to observe the following:

“Dress Code: Upscale casual – Guys: no work boots, open toe shoes, shorts, jump suits ect. (sic) Jeans are ok as long as they are not super baggy or holey. Ladies: can pretty much wear anything except imprinted or bedazzled dresses.”

Will Kanye West be turned away in his falling-down pants? We doubt it. Will Pamela Anderson be sent home in her “bedazzled” dress? We think not. These rules are made for US!
