While I very much enjoy Derek Guy's posts, I find "dressed better" very vague. That were the way clothes were made in the past, that was the style then. I recall seeing an older lady (75-80ish) waiting at a bus stop in San Francisco in the early 2000s and that woman was dressed in an older style but very nice suit and a small hat. That's how people dressed when they went out in public back in the day. Now we have sweats, yoga pants, blob shaped shoes, saggy pants, and ripped jeans, and it's all acceptable wear, at least in the urban landscape.
