The mall confirms it with this statement:
“Given the high degree of importance we place on maintaining a family-friendly shopping environment, our policy requires all of our customers to dress in a manner that reflects our code of conduct. Anyone who violates this policy will be asked to change or to leave the premises.” – The Shoppes at Bel Air
The Shoppes at Bel Air isn't a little high end mall, it is large 1.3 million square foot regional mall with a Dillard's, JCPenney, and Target.
These store sell worse.
Maybe the OWNER'S of the mall, who ESTABLISHED the dress code, higher moral values then you do.
Different shops and malls have different codes and it's up to the individual business.
It should be noted that people such as Madonna and Julia Roberts were both refused service by one London boutique in the past, and Naomi Campbell was told to leave.
They banned hoodies in some shopping centres and malls, and exclusive shops such as Harrods in London maintain certain dress codes including no ripped jeans and shorts.
Golf Clubs/Sports Clubs, Country Clubs and other cluibs such as Gentlemen's Clubs, as well as upmarket Restaurants also have dress codes, as indeed do most nightclubs.
Just use your common sense and dress appropriately.
You will probably change your tune when you get married and/or have daughters. When I'm out in the mall with my family - especially my wife or daughter - those girls in short shorts really bother me. On one hand, it's only instinctual and hormonal to look and stare so it's a constant fight not to look like a perv in front of my family. A decent dress code helps everyone be comfortable at the mall. The mall is not a nightclub where young people go looking for sex and validation, it's for shopping.

Ha, I can't attest to the golf club rules. I was told to leave or buy one of their expensive shirts because I didn't have a collared shirt on. I bought one of theirs because I wanted to play the course. That was a long time ago and I wouldn't do that now.
I don't want my little girl to grow up. So much judgement.

The a photo of the dress code was published on the Daily Mail article I linked earlier. All it said was that "not being fully clothed" was prohibited.
She was technically fully clothed.
