Shorts in Clubs

Dirkdiggler41's Avatar
Anybody been turned away at door for wearing “athletic shorts” as they call it. Where? I can report of declined admission to baby dolls and chicas locas of all places. Apparently you can wear baggy hot cotton cargo shorts in the clubs but don’t come in with any type of comfortable or stylish microfiber type shorts adorning any logos ( Nike, under armor both rejected). So I can wear my plain no label golf shorts in but try to get in with my little Nike or under amour logo on the left knee and god knows if they let me in then the class of the place has been deminished. :roflma
I can understand if I was coming in with old school nba nut huggers or baggy ghetto style basketball shorts. I get turned away in these knee length shorts(brown and black I dare didn’t try the white ones) while wearing a collared shirt as well. Just stupid. We live in Texas where’s its 100 degrees out in summer you dumb door bitches. Use your brain.
Hint roll up the shorts on bottom to cover up logo for admission cause f the dumb girls at the door who can’t do their job properly.

I have some club pants. They are very thin cotton scrubs, which I modified for SC use. I left the two front pockets as they were, but there are four fairly discrete side pockets, to which I added velcro for secure storage of cash, phone, and car fob. Cut out the zipper and replace with softest available velcro. Tuck the waist-tie into the top of the pants, in case the club disapproves of tie-up pants, generally. Tip: Black scrub pants only. They don't really look like scrubs.
I was not let in at Pt's because I had on a Marc Ecko sweatshirt one time told it's considered sports wear yet a guy walked past me into the club in a football jersey! But I just saw guys at the men's club last week in basketball shorts and flip flops, seen guys in scrubs at buck wilds Dallas.. I'm really beginning to think it's a pick and choose situation

Yeah agreed. I would place the race card here easily if I was black or a minority buy I’m not so I can’t even say it’s profiling with a certain look. Just weird. Does not make any sense to me. It’s totally up to the girl at the front to make decision and you know how that can go.

If you’re wearing a collared shirt with athletic shorts, you may have bigger issues from a fashion perspective than just getting turned away from a club.
I've been checked before at BDD to make sure my shorts had belt loops. My uniform is microfiber shorts with loose silk boxers.
Yes, most clubs have that very restriction. Dress shorts may be allowed depending on club. Best thing to do is call the club about its dress code before going and don't rely upon here.

I did bring change of clothes the last time I attempted. Went to car. Changed then came back in and explained my frustration to front girl. Same type shorts no logo this time. Her reply well I don’t make the rules to which I replied no but it is your job to enforce the rules correctly as I walk in club. I hear “I’ll tell you what” in loud voice as I round the corner into club and just keep walking. (Insert eye roll emoji)

My reply above to tomcollins post not husker dude. Wrong reply button pushed I guess and don’t know how to correct it.

Belt loops can be added to (and logos removed from) more *accessible* and *stimulation-friendly* shorts. Might be an interesting experiment...

Good info. However I have shirt untucked and they haven’t checked for belt loops. It is really just the logo throwing up the no flag.

Update….
I plan on walking in soon with some very stylish baggy “And 1” pass the knee shinny basketball shorts from Walmart with my Dirk 41 jersey complete with head and arm sweet bands to show the ladies at the front exactly what athletic gear is. Lol. Im debating if any accessories are needed like maybe a gym bag over the shoulder. A basketball in tow just seems too obvious here. Don’t worry I will have the old school Nike high tops on. I wish I had an old school converse pair actually or actually what I really want back is my all time fav Air Jordan original IV from back in the day. You can guarantee the near knee high socks with colored striping at the top. I think a water bottle draped around the kneck with sippy straw in mouth sounds perfect to compete the ensemble.
I hope the same girl is there that gave me hard time and hope she gets a good laugh. If things don’t go well you will know without me telling you because I’ll have my picture posted on the register similar to those patrons that write bad checks at 7-11, barred for life. If you see one pay homage to ol Dirk Diggler with a pat on the picture to pay homage as you walk by or a peace sign works or even better if you are catholic throw me up the cross heart action across the chest complete with the hands to kiss gesture towards the sky like you see the “athletes” do after hitting home runs or scoring touchdown. (See what i did there). Feel free to then take a knee and say a quick prayer if you like although that last part does feels like a bit much maybe.

I remember seeing the same dude wearing basketball shorts at Baby dolls fort worth whenever I was there. This was before they closed. I always wondered how he got away with it.
