Agree it started in the 60’s people dress like slobs and winos.
You see the old movies and TV shows, people wore suits and proper clothes to do anything it seems
I rant to my wife unit all the time that one day the next bra strap I see, person wearing pajamas at the store, fat ass wearing body glove work out pants, or underwear sticking out will send me over the edge.
I am so tired of cargo shorts I could just ... well...
There was a time when wearing jeans was the ‘slob look’, now, wearing jeans is getting dressed up. Sweat pants, pajama bottoms, tattoos, and godawful body piercing is what people wear. Slouching towards oblivion, IMHO.
A hundred years ago, a tuxedo was seen as a daringly casual alternative to the proper morning coat for day wear and white tie and tails for evening. What we call a suit now used to be called a lounge suit.
I remember distinctly the saying back then that “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Which meant, “I can grow my hair, including facial and body, as long and as nasty as I like, and never bath, change clothes, or clean myself up and you HAVE to like it.”
