Are dress codes outdated?

One of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants is said to have "toughened up" its dress code and made it "more explicit" advising guests against certain items of clothing. The Chelsea restaurant has reminded patrons of the dress code on its website: "We would like all of our guests to feel free to express their own individual style however, we do ask guests to avoid shorts, tracksuits and hoodies. Smart trainers are fine. We know lots of our guests like to dress smartly which we appreciate!" What do you think? Are dress codes outdated? Andrea is joined by listeners including Garry ANderson, Co-Owner of Anderson's Boathouse Restaurant and Killybegs Seafood Shack, Calvin O’Brien from the ‘Talking Bollox’ podcast and Stylist Mandy Maher.
