Have dress codes changed in 2026, or do they still matter?

Durban resident Amber Auret has sparked quite a debate on social media after calling out a local pub for asking her to leave because of her attire. In her Facebook post, the 29-year-old alleged that she was asked to leave the local Durban pub because her skort, an item of clothing that is a blend between a short and a skirt, was “too short”. This led to a broader conversation on 'Breakfast with Martin Bester' about appropriate versus inappropriate attire in certain settings, with listeners giving their opinions on the specific situation.
