"Polo shirts, sweater sets and tailored slacks -- what many companies consider "business casual" -- have given way to halter tops, rubber flip-flops, T-shirts and jeans."

The grunge look is everywhere for all to see. It appears that many people are trying to look slovenly, unkept and trashy.
The changes started with the 60s and more casual (but not necessarily grunge with the Dot.com revolution).
What adds to this crappy look is that more and more people are overweight and the clothing they wear makes them look even worse.

Remember the kids from the poor house who slipped on old tennis shoes and let their heels mash down the back of the shoe?

Yeah, those are stylish and actually marketed as "fasionable" shoes. Funny people pay for clothes that look like rags.
