re: When did people stop dressing nice as a rule and more as an occasion

It took 4 pgs for someone to say it. Ppl didn’t have closets full of clothes back then. You had one or two nice suits, a few shirts if you were lucky. They were washing this stuff once every week or two. They didn’t have online shopping or giant malls. What we see today is the result of many things but consumerism is at the very heart. Buy, buy, buy. Ppl have options and the way you dress is how ppl express themselves and how they want ppl to view them.
