Missionary dress code violation?

I saw a couple of elders on the street this afternoon. One was wearing khaki pants and a very pale blue tie instead of the usual dark trousers and dark tie. Has the dress code been loosened or is this a missionary who doesn't care about the rules?

I think the dress code has changed.

I've seen them in khakis, too. Maybe it's a mini-revolt, passive protest? That would be a step in the right direction, but nah. I think it's one of those, "Let's give you a modicum of freedom to fool you" kind of things.

I think that they have been permitted to wear lighter colored trousers for awhile. As for neckties, elders have always been wearing wild ones as long as I can remember. My MP was always upset at our zone conferences so it was the least of my concerns.

My DH, an RM, favors ties with funny designs.

My favorite among all of his ties, is a funny one with Snoopy and Woodstock cavorting all over it.

Maybe they don’t want to look like the cast of the BoM musical.
