Talk:Costume de rigueur

The article claims that "de rigueur" is related to "de facto" and to "de jure". Where is the evidence for this? Is it suggested that the French preposition "de" (which usually has a genitive meaning) is related to the Latin preposition "de" (used with the ablative case)?

Agree, it's silly. So I deleted that section. Now what about the Mardi Gras section? Somebody is really grabbing at straws to push their world view.

Isn't "Costume" obsolete?

— de rigueur redirects to: Costume de rigueur. Funny, growing up with a French parent, I never heard the "costume" part. And many dictionaries agree. It may or may not have anything at all to do with "costume" or fashion.

http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/de%20rigueur no mention

http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/de-rigueur —required by etiquette or fashion

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/de_rigueur Borrowing from French de rigueur ("required"), Necessary according to etiquette, protocol or fashion.

http://grammarist.com/usage/de-rigueur/ —good essay: "With bribery and corruption de rigueur there are...." "...Corned Beef and Cabbage are practicallyde rigueur for..."

Also there is the satirical usage: mindless slaves to pinkie-in-air oh-so-exquisite snobery, often said with a highly affected British accent: Urban Dictionary: de rigueur; By simply poking my head into any of the nearby hipster bars, the frequency of pointy toed cow-girl boots firmly cements their status: de rigueur trendy footwear du jour.

This definition and redirection are obviously wrong. Please correct.
