More tribune at the sacred altar of "comfort"!
Easter brunch at a local hotel. Ham, turkey, pasta, etc . I wore a regular navy blue suit. I noticed that only a few men wear suits or even slacks. Some even wore jeans. You can find a cheap suit anywhere these days. Why do some men choose not to dress up on Easter? Do they feel they are making a statement? Is there something wrong with me?

Oh wait I spoke too soon. I think I see someone with pajama pants at the dessert line.
So everyone ends up looking like they are ready to clean a toilet. Coming home just a few minutes ago, I saw a woman in a bath robe just walking the street……:doh:You are quite right. People will pat each other on the back for "dressing down" and How Dare you question or say something. That is the problem. you are not allowed to judge.
I once went to a job interview covered in plaster/drywall dust. It was pretty unavoidable in order to make it in time. I explained beforehand and got the jobI remember, during the Florida real estate boom, one of the news channels was at a Ferrari dealership. There were men covered in drywall dust and masons covered in stone dust, buying $100,000 plus cars. The News man asked if that was normal, and the dealer said, "every day is like this!"

It wouldn't surprise me one bit. People nowadays have no idea how to dress for an occasion. There are no standards held out so they just go everywhere in their gardening clothes. :doh: It used to be considered an insult to show up at a function dressed like a bum. Now they pat you on the back.

I went to church on Easter Sunday, dressed in a suit and v-necked sweater with tie. I was surprised how many of the congregation were just in trainers, jeans and sweatshirts.
That I can get behind!All the more reason for going into the trades. Overeducated middle-class twentysomethings, are you listening?
Not sure which is worse...marinating in Axe or reeking like a horse.Yes, I experienced the same thing. People have lost their self respect and replaced it with phony self esteem. You can't tell them they look like a bum because it will hurt their little esteem....... Next up---stinking like a horse in public.:doh:
It should be called "Bring Your P*mp/John To A Dance". I've seen some very revealing prom dresses leaving little to the imagination.It's unbelievable how high school seniors dress for prom and career day. Both events need a name change.

Probably partly the fact that we are the oddity against a much more casual cultural norm (I'm just glad that the fifties futurists were wrong and it's not all uniform jumpsuits now...), and partly the fact that for a much higher proportion of folks in some areas than might once have been the case Easter isn't of particular significance.
:rofl:A horse marinating in AXE.
