They may have been preppy fashion championed by Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein but chinos and blue shirts have now been banned by Cardiff University students’ union after being associated with a violent incident at a nightclub.

The students’ union announced the ban in a memo sent to all members of Cardiff’s athletic union, the umbrella body representing sporting clubs on campus.

Local residents say that the chinos and blue, button-down shirt combination had become an unofficial uniform of male students involved in many of the athletic union’s clubs.

The students’ union said the clothing ban was “not aimed at a specific group”, and was solely related to incidents at its weekly 'Yolo' clubbing night.
