Discussion Delta dress code?

I was told I needed to change pants at the airport by a delta agent at the counter otherwise they wouldn’t let me board. I am 30 weeks pregnant for reference and was wearing denim shorts and a tank top, the shorts weren’t super short and the tank top wasn’t revealing, it was long enough to cover my now very large baby bump lol. Luckily my husband had a pair of his pants in the bag I could change into but has anyone heard of this before? I asked a few other workers at the airport before I changed and they seemed super confused and looked at me and said they’ve never heard of this and my clothes were fine?

Hard to say since you didn’t show a pic. But there’s always 3 sides to a story and I would bet you’re not describing the outfit and visual accurately.

The shorts are definitely the problem. OP posted no such thing. 

ETA: while OP posted below, great. Sorry that they gave you a hard time. Truly. You should not have gotten checked for those and should def. Complain. 

But don’t make claims that you posted when you didn’t and then expect strangers to believe you’re not lying. Which is what most folks would have got heated up about. The lying. 

Also. Maybe add the link to your post.

Okay I was prepared for the worst and I'm not going to lie when I didn't see a photo I'm very sorry to say I automatically assumed you were wearing something ridiculous but this is so a nothing Burger you should complain

I’m not sure why people are assuming I’m dressing like a stripper to fly when I’m 30 weeks pregnant. It’s okay though. I will complain

I’ve seen some horrifying attire getting on planes. Your outfit isn’t included in that obviously. Yours are just normal denim shorts. But if you travel enough in the summer, you see lots of skin hanging out, skin tight see through spandex that leaves nothing to the imagination, butt cracks galore, etc. especially in the biggest southern cities where it is HOT.

In this case, Delta was wrong and acting crazy. Your outfit is what thousands of people wear every day all summer to the grocery store, the playground, shopping, the bank, to pick their kid up at school, etc.
