But at the same time, I feel like weve lost something - the age of elegance - which I miss.
Yup. Look at old newsreels and look at how common people dressed for the baseball game or for the movies, and CERTAINLY for travel. Dressing well doesn't have to be about showing off, being properly dressed can also show respect for those who have to look at you.

In photos of old baseball games, the men typically wore coats and ties. On local TV, there's a newsreel of downtown Seattle, c. 1915, and all the men are wearing suits, and all the women are wearing long dresses. Even little boys wore ties.
I was watching a Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett version) episode yesterday, and even while hiking and camping in the Alps, Holmes and Watson are wearing sport/suit jackets, neckties, and tweed hats. The main difference between their London garb is that they are wearing boots and gaitors.

Agreed. Respect and dignity - things missing in our popular culture which we can now find in our Heavenly Family of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and which we will later find in full in Heaven.

When we watch old tv series, such as Andy Griffith, dress and deportment really stand out. For example, in one of the episodes, Andy takes Opie to a library. Opie wears a sport coat and tie.
