WATCH: I went to Reading pubs in an 'inappropriate' top - this is what happened

Looking to sip a cold drink during the week's heatwave, the unsuspecting pair entered the pub and checked in.

But before they were seated, the unsuspecting two, dressed fashionably and for fair weather, were informed by staff that their outfits were 'inappropriate'.

Below is the result of my journey into the world of being clothed in public.

"We asked for the reason - they said it is because we are comparable to men taking their tops off," Ms Wood said in a TikTok video regarding the matter, which has since gained more than 94,100 views.

Eddie Gersho, a Wetherspoon spokesman, said: “Two female customers visited the Back of Beyond pub in Reading on Sunday evening (June 13) at approximately 7.40pm.

“Shortly after entering, the customers were politely asked to leave the pub as, on consideration by the pub’s management team, their dress was not, in this particular case, in accordance with the company’s guidance to pubs on appropriate customer dress.

“What may be considered appropriate dress is invariably a matter of individual judgement and whilst no offence was intended to the two customers by the request to leave the pub, we support the approach of the pub’s management team in this instance.”

You might argue this politely-worded PR response is fair enough.

However when I tried to call the pub manager to find out what the official dress-code for The Back Of Beyond is, he referred me to the website for further information, said the pub provides "no comment", and then hung up.

So I did. On the official website for J D Wetherspoon, the dress code statement reads: "Customers are requested to remain fully clothed throughout their visit, including wearing shoes.

"In addition, some pubs do operate a specific dress code at all or certain times.

"For information on these requirements, please speak directly to the team of the pub you wish to visit."

I figured it would be better for me to put these rules to the test myself, than it would be to follow this endless loop.

As there are only two pubs in Reading town centre that are currently owned by JD Wetherspoon, I threw in a couple of other pubs just to see if this seemingly unspeakable clothing policy was just a common thing for the industry.

But after a day of nursing half-pints in silly suits, I had still come no closer to the reason why Mollie Wood was kicked out of Spoons.

I had successfully entered a pub without shoes, with my hood up the entire time, dressed like I regularly performed alchemy, and I dressed in the closest thing to Mollie's costume I could gather (no offence Mollie - I didn't say my cosplay was accurate).

At a loss of any explanation, I once again tried to find a response from my new friend Eddie, to understand what had really happened that day.

I asked if I should have been able to enter these establishments, owned by JD Wetherspoon or otherwise, while wearing clothing “not in accordance with the company’s guidance to pubs on appropriate customer dress”, and if so, why.

I also asked why a woman was asked to leave the premises, as she claims, due to her clothing (in tandem with the unwarranted sexualisation of her body), however when I, a hairy sweaty male, wore the same clothing and ‘revealed’ just as much as she, I received no issues.

Eddie's response to both was: "We acknowledge all the points raised.

“However, we will not comment further, apart from to say, that we trust our managers to make the right call when it comes to customers and dress code.”

So there it is - one possibility is simply because J D Wetherspoon are a very serious chain of eateries, where everything that happens there is sensible.

If it's not that, it would seem that the reason why Ms Wood, a woman dressed in the clothes she likes, was kicked out of the pub, remains a mystery. Or maybe not.
