That makes no sense, yes. I can understand dress codes that prescribe (oops, I almost wrote "proscribe", but then decided I'd better check the dictionary ^^) a modicum of modesty, but this does seem like a relatively transparent attempt to keep out certain people (young people, poor people, people of "alternative" political persuasions etc.). I wonder how long it'll be before you have to show up in white tie...
Personally, I don't even *have* any trousers that aren't jeans, for example, and I'm sure the same's true for most others as well.
(Or is this just another stab at the French, just like "freedom fries"? :P)
