Metrosexual discriminationTurned away for being too dressed up

PERTH bars and clubs risk flouting Equal Opportunity laws by implementing bizarre dress rules such as a ban on "metrosexual" attire.

Engineering student Benjamin Chalk told the Sunday Times he was offended by a banner at the front of Library nightclub in Northbridge that reads "Strictly No Metrosexual Attire".

The banner is displayed every second Friday, during the Library's Dorcia Fridays event.

The Sunday Times recently saw Dorcia staff turn away confused male punters in collared shirts and dress shoes, explaining they were "too dressed-up", while women were welcomed in formal dress.

Men wearing shorts and trainers were also allowed in.
