Most people think i’m crazy when I say this, but I wish we lived in a more formally dressed society. I’m sick of going to a nice restaurant and seeing someone in mesh shorts and a t-shirt that has a picture of a wolf howling at the moon on it or in an office where everyone has at least khaki’s and a button down shirt and some jackass is wearing jean shorts and a polo shirt, unbuttoned with their chest hair blowing out. Get real. Have a little respect for yourself.
Sweat pants are possibly the worst thing to happen to us. They only need to be worn when doing athletic activity, not Sunday morning grocery shopping. Do you need to know how low we have sunk as a society? Just think about Walmart patrons…need I say more?
Personally, I prefer the look of the 1940′s, 50′s and early 60′s. Suit, tie, formal hat when you are going out. I know that might be a little too intense for 85% of America these days, but at one point this was the norm (I blame Hippies for this undoing).
All i’m saying is that the American public once radiated class and now we look like a bunch of slobs who only care about comfort. Sadly, I think we are too far gone to ever fully recover.
good point flintheart… Good point indeed.. But i believe this is somewhat of a case of the pot calling the kettle black…
Now FlintHeart,
We all know you were born 4 decades too late and you feverishly desire to go back in time to live in the days of Jack Kerouac, but your here…accept it.
On many points, I agree with you. Get yourself together when you are in a work setting or going out to respectable places. Dress like the occasion calls for.
However, The T-shirt is one of the greatest inventions and your boy Marlon Brando would back me up on this. I’m just saying.
Well played Vogel
