Rich people were better dressed back then
Most people dressed better back then. My grandfather spent most of his life somewhere in the gray line that divided the working and middle classes. I can’t ever remember him leaving the house w/o a coat and tie and his gray fedora type hat.
Poor people were better dressed back than, also.
Yep, people have gotten lazy, wearing torn jeans out to dinner looks awful, not young and hip. I like to dress up a bit, it's my way of "fighting against the establishment" :)
