Back in the old day folks used to wear their best Sunday school clothes whenever they flew.

*************

That was once true when people went to lots of places or attended special occasions.

Want to get noticed these days? Just wear some nice, clean clothes. America has taken the ‘dress down’ thing to extremes. We look like ragamuffins compared to how people dressed a few decades ago.

Eventually some trendsetters in the entertainment world will adopt more formal styles and the masses will follow their lead like they always do.

Yep. When I wear a subdued Panama Jaxx shirt with black jeans I look like a millionaire compared to the schlubbs walking around.

The term “Sunday best” is obsolete, in that, nobody dresses up for church on Sunday anymore.

I know the argument, that it’s better they are in church in torn jeans and tennis shorts than not to be there at all.

I think that the casual trend hitting churches, shows just how much the counter culture of the ‘60s infected every aspect of our culture.

I always wear button down shirt and twill or khaki pants and walking or dress shoes. The panhandlers think I have money.
