Woman sparks debate after questioning 'unacceptable' hotel lobby attire
It's not uncommon to see men walking through a hotel lobby in swimming togs on holiday, or women in bikinis on their way to the pool ahead of a day of relaxation.
But one woman has taken umbrage with that trend, according to The Express, as she suggested that it's unacceptable to walk through the lobby of a hotel without an overshirt on.
A TikToker with the handle @fundsandfashion argued that hotel guests following a "dress code should be common sense," and voiced her frustration at those who venture through the lobbies of hotels dressed only in swimwear.
She said: "Tell me why people think it's acceptable to walk through the lobby of a hotel in their bathing suit and nothing else?"
"Put on a damn shirt. Be respectful," she added. Many social media users completely disagreed
The stance prompted a divisive reaction online, as one woman responded to say that she should not pay as much attention to what other people choose to wear while they are trying to relax on holidays.
She replied: "Why are you so jealous of people walking in their bathing suits? Like you've never forgotten the towel when you went to the pool. Maybe focus on something else".
The original poster replied: "Not jealous at all. It's a matter of appropriateness and respect for surroundings and other people".
In response, someone commented: "Well, some people love themselves and their body. The human body isn't something to be ashamed of".
Defending those who wear swimming gear in hotel lobbies, one person insisted that holiday accommodation should be a "home away from home," so people should be entitled to wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
The original poster was not alone in her stance, however, as others agreed with her. One claimed that many people would never "understand this level of class".
One social media user was baffled as had never imagined there would be a problem with someone walking through a lobby in a bathing suit, writing: "There's dress codes to walk through hotels? I don't think I've ever cared, not never once, what someone had on while I was walking through a hotel. I guess we draw the line at nude, but hey".
The original poster responded: "Yes, I've even seen some hotels have signs that ask for you to have clothes on or a cover up when walking through the lobby."
Many hotels might have dress codes and employees will discreetly let guests know whether their choice of attire is appropriate. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

'They told me I was too fat' - Thalia Heffernan on cruel body shaming aged 14
Thalia Heffernan has opened up about the difficulties of spending her life being judged by her face and body – revealing she was once called 'too fat'. The model has been established in the UK and Ireland industry since she was a teenager. But the Dubliner opened up about the struggles of modelling and how she has adapted through difficult moments. Speaking to Dublin based fitness content creator Chris Connolly on his 5K With Chris, she said: 'So I guess it's very stereotypical. But in my job, of course, your physicality is the most important thing. 'So everything I do, I'm judged on based on what I look like. It's tough. I mean, again, since the age of 14 or15 I've just been judged on my face and body. So there's a lot of difficulties that come up with that in that age bracket. 'Anyway, you're always kind of insecure. You're kind of learning about yourself. Then you throw people telling you you're too fat on top. It makes for a little bit of a tricky time. 'But I guess I've spent so long learning about myself and trying to figure it out like, what is it I really want to do? So for so long, I wanted to impress others and be this person for other people fit into their mould, which is my job, and now I realise I just want to fit into my own mould, be my own person. 'And when I took back that power, the weight fell off me. I was able to do more, I was more active, I was more happy, and the people who don't want to book me don't want to book me, that's on them, not on me. 'I'm much happier for it. I think we all put so much pressure on ourselves, and I used to use that as an excuse a lot, because I'd interact with my friends without me to go, 'I feel like sh*t, I'm not getting any work, or I'm not doing this'.' She said she is 'more than just a model'. 'So as I've gotten older, I've just kind of learned to adapt and change and do what I want to do for myself. And people will, I think, people appreciate that and respect it and realise I'm more than just a model.'
