I tapped out of the crowds at grocery stores awhile back and went to curbside delivery, but today had to stop into a Kroger.

Holy cow what a fat, waddling, t-shirt and Crocs hellscape. What happened?

When America became a fat nation everything else went down with it.

I often go to kroger in Costa sandals and Costa glasses, with Aftco shorts and Aftco tee. I'm wearing $500+ while looking like a slob. And because you don't know, you don't know.

so you’re wearing $100 worth of clothes and $400 sunshades?

Depends on type of shirt, I work from home and wear poncho shirts every single day.

I do camera all the time and never feel bad about putting my face/camera on in a poncho.

When I’m on site with customers I always wear khakis and a dress shirt tucked in. .

I pretty much wear golf shirts out in public anymore. At home, working around the house it's t-shirts.

Working in banking early in my career was wearing suit and tie daily. Now, glad it's pants and a golf shirt daily. Suits are just unnecessary. I'm not on Wall Street or in a corporate setting.

I've been watching some videos of years past. Dress was way more classy back then. Fedora hats, jacket and tie. I could do that again.

Our country has turned into slobs. Go into a store and it's t-shirts, pajama pants, and flip flops? Too many people have just given up.

Since like age 5 bro. I never don't wear collared shirts and mostly golf shirts and shite

ETA: Sometimes I wear Brooks Brothers polos because that's just how it is

When I was in college I used to brag about how my clothes including but not limited to my sunglasses, wallet, belt, all of which were and are imported from Italy, and not even including my genuine bona fide Swiss Made timepiece costs more than a month's worth of people's paychecks

I have owned so many nice things in my lifetime that I feel berry blessed

The ball got rolling when weed became legal. Loser arse potheads started going out in public wearing pajama pants & bonnets on their head smelling like a fn skunk. Then COVID just accelerated the collapse of social etiquette.

The shorts alone are $80. Try again with your math.
