Yeah... As we were discussing here https://www.sosuave.net/forum/threa...thing-better-comes-along.282363/#post-3121715 https://www.sosuave.net/forum/threads/looksmaxxing-goes-mainstream.282162/page-3#post-3122214 , no one's calling for everybody to start wearing Armani and Tom Ford to the grocery store... We'd all undoubtedly enjoy much more equanimity on a personal level and as a nation if we made the effort to look like inhabitants of an increasingly sophisticated civilization, rather than Dust Bowl dwellers during The 1930s. This becomes all the more inexplicable when one recognizes:As far as dressing up for events... I completely agree with Dr. Peterson. I always wear suits at business events... even though I am frequently the only one in a suit. I like suits, I have a lot of suits. I never leave the house unless I look my very best based on whatever I am doing. The only time I dress like a slob is when I'm working on my car or cleaning my home. I like opera... and I know it isn't for everyone, but when I go... I wear a tux, and any woman I am with, I expect her to dress up as well.... even though nowadays I see many showing up in jeans and t-shirts at opera. IMO you should always dress appropriate for anything you are doing while looking the best you can... it is a sign of class and respect for the people you are around.
It is a bit stunning for me seeing what people wear when going to the grocery store. I wear comfortable casual clothes, but I've seen some weird @ss sh1t just visit this website and you'll see what I am talking about: Home - People Of Walmart
For all the problems which exist in our civilization, we live in a time wear access to finery has never been more plentiful. I've personally had salespeople at Nordstrom, Zara, Van Maur, and Bloomingdale's GIVE me clothes and cologne free. More than once. Yet for nearly a decade now, a substantial portion of folks in The Post-Industrial world have come to believe that it's "cool" to look impoverished
There is cause for cautious optimism, in that we've been through a cultural regression like this prior, and not all that long ago either https://www.rebelsmarket.com/blog/posts/grunge-fashion-where-did-it-come-from-and-why-is-it-back By time the last years of The 20th Century rolled around though, we were prioritizing a polished look once again, and this became readily apparent in the popular culture of the time
Chances are thus strong that we're going through a similar cycle yet again
