Sign at Hotel Breakfast Room

Stayed at an inn that generally offers hot and cold breakfast but is only offering to go bags due to covid.
There was a sign on the room where breakfast is usually available that said "Proper Attire required"
While they certainly wouldn't consider nothing as "Proper" how minimal would you try?
I would probably try gym shorts, not shirt or shoes and see if I could get in.

People are so goofy about eating. As if it is some huge violation of decorum to not be "FULLY" dressed when eating -- particularly, if you sit down at a table.

"Proper" attire when eating is whatever it is you happen to be wearing -- or not wearing.

Generally a shirt, pants, and shoes if it has a sign like that. Depending on the socio-economic standing of the place, it might be slacks, dress shirt, and shoes -- or a pair of shorts and a tshirt. Gym shorts, if the basketball variety, would work wherever shorts do most likely. If you're talking about those old school short-shorts people used in gyms? Very likely not. In general they want your posterior covered entirely for sitting on the chairs and the like. Tank tops are also frowned upon.Why would you want to push the limits? You should respect the establishment you're doing business with. If you walked up and asked them how skimpy you could be on clothing they'd probably just ask you to leave, lol.There's no need to antagonize the textile public, it just reinforces all negative perceptions of nudism.Also, frankly, constantly trying to push the limits in public smacks of exhibitionism unless you're very openly doing it as a form of activism.

I agree with CodeBare on this. Anyoyone who wants to force their rulebreaking stupidity on others, is NOT helping promote the nudist lifestyle.

I would not wear shorts that were so tight or short that they would be considered revealing.
I am sure that shorts, shoes and some type of footwear would meet the requirements.
My gray areas would be:
Sleep pants or shorts (I have seen both in hotel breakfast rooms elsewhere. Would not affect me directly since I don't own either)
Are shirts necessary for men? How about shoes for both genders? I have seen people barefoot at other hotels breakfast rooms, but have never noticed a shirtless male.
