If you look at the way people dressed 500 to 100 years ago they took much more pride in it than people today. The more I read about the 1960s the more I realize just how much upheaval was occurring socially, politically, economically, religiously and in many other ways at that time.
I used to know this guy that sold formal, dress up uniforms for the military and emergency services. During the 1970s it was the worst time to try and sell this type of clothing because no one cared how they dressed. Since that time his business has improved significantly.

We went to a memorial service for my husband’s cousin a couple of years ago, an elderly woman who was probably in her early 80s when she died.
There were many family photos but one in particular was a classic.
It was this lady’s 4 children all dressed up for Easter Sunday, one of those familiar Kodak snapshots on the front lawn of their Long Island home, with just “Easter, 1966” as the caption.
I earnestly wanted to take that snap and put it in a museum with the added caption: Apres ce, le deluge. (after this, the deluge - forgive my french if it is bad!)
But you know I think things are on the verge now. If we don’t sink down into the abyss they are going to get better.
Roe v. Wade may turn out to be the greatest trick progressivism ever played on itself. Because I do think more conservatives had more children than that vast swath of 60s leftists did.
But, you know, we’ve got to keep FREEDOM. If we let our gov’t turn us into serfs it’s going to be the gosh-darn abyss for sure!
