Was there ever a no-pants-suit rule?

edit

The article on Nan Kempner claims that she was allowed into the La Côte Basque restaurant only after she removed her trousers. Yet this article says nothing about a rule forbidding women to wear pants, which surely would be highly discriminatory. Did the restaurant ever have such a rule, or is the story merely an urban legend? Vaughan Pratt (talk) 01:10, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Vaughan Pratt: Indeed, there seems to have been one. Opencooper (talk) 09:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

“Windows on The World” at the first World Trade Center had the same rule. 2600:1700:1421:7FE0:6CCB:7063:F1EC:1378 (talk) 08:23, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
