I’m with you. I would love to see society dress nicer in every venue. I really think it affects behavior in a positive way. Of course, we’re far gone in the other direction.
I agree. One of my pet peeves, which some will disagree with, is that people don’t dress up for church anymore.
Yes, I’m happy to see people go to church. But we’re talking tennis shorts, baggy pants which are so low cut you can see the great divide when they bend over, torn t shirts.
Schools have no real dress codes anymore either. Perhaps it’s just generational, but this has bugged me a lot, that church is no longer a dressy place.
I’ve seen just as bad at funerals. Totally disrespectful.

I agree, but in the past how well you dressed for Church was an indication of the difference between the “Haves” and the “Have nots”.
Dressing became such an ego trip in the olden days that every Easter week, people would buy new duds to wear to church, then parade up and down the tony areas of town showing off their new clothes. It was called....THE EASTER PARADE.
2 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.
2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in.
3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,”
4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
BUT I AGREE, it is possible to go too far in the opposite direction. People need to show more discretion in how they dress.
I am with both of you on this.
