I live in Berlin, where the dress code is far more relaxed. I noted how well-dressed people are in Paris and my friend answered “because they pretty much have to”. It’s a social pressure and you’re expected to conform to that standard regardless of your means or interest in fashion. I love not thinking much about clothing. I wear what works, spend less on something that doesn’t matter to me, and save my energy for what does. I’m not sure how I would benefit from raising the pressure until I am forced to dress better at my own expense.
