A Brief History of Nobody Dresses Well Anymore

🧵
2022 "Attitudes have changed," she said, a bit wistfully. "People don't dress up much anymore. --Lincoln Journal Star, 12 September 2022
2015 "People don't dress well anymore. They don't even dress up to go to work. On the tube I see a lot of black clothes all the time," she explained. "I have black clothing too but I like to wear colours, particularly purples, mauves and pinks and other bright colours. "In my day when you went to London for the day you always wore gloves, a hat and smart shoes. It was unthinkable to wear trainers. I don't like it. Things like trips to the theatre are a chance to dress up." --The Argus, 19 November 2015
