They can't change the client, thats the point. If you don't care enough to dress up then you don't get in. They know no one is going to change, therefore they can safely bar them. It must work otherwise they wouldn't do it.
BS, the client will often change in order to fit in. A lot of people choose to comply with these dress codes, even if they don't entirely like it. It's simply the path of least resistance for them. That there are others in this thread (whom mostly wear sneakers in their fit pics) talking about needing the proper shoes provides us with some antidotal proof of this. It's analogous to most office environments. Most employees don't truly want to wear business casual crap. Yet they will choose to comply with the work dress code, the same as they choose to comply with the club dress code. Dressing according to "the code" only proves you "care" in the shallowest and most unauthentic manner imaginable. It is really more of a test of how willing to you are to conform to rigid rules in order to create a collective image desired by someone else, in this case the commercial interests of the club owner. Personally I always feel the most comfortable when there are no rules and a wide variety of styles present. Anything from skateboarder wear to a suit is fine as long as it's stylish. Such clientele always seems more authentic and interesting to me.
