re: Why don't people dress up any more for occassions, like weddings, church, grads, etc?

I've been to a lot of afternoon weddings lately. Varies by age, just like church nowadays.

All of the kids just out of college were wearing slacks and dress shirts.

The late twenties to forty likely had a jacket, but a large number had no tie.

And of course a majority of the old guys went full jacket and tie.

Hell, thirty years ago my grandpa died in his chair wearing a suit after getting back from a haircut and a milkshake from McDonalds on a Saturday morning. He had worn a suit to hang out at the barbershop and go to McDonalds. And that was in BFE Arkansas.

It’s having respect for the institution and occasion to dress in a respectful manner.

Like I said, God doesn't care what you wear. Other church goers do.

Think about the absurdity of that coming from someone at the church.
