Are we part of a dying breed?
I've noticed that dressing well or even "appropriately" is becoming more and more rare. We've talked here about pajamas in public but I'm starting to wonder if we are part of a "niche" community that want to look good. I attended a funeral (graveside service) for my uncle, I wore grey suit with white shirt and black tie and brown shoes, took the extra step to match watch band to my shoes and belt. It's Novemeber and starting to snow here so I layered my wool jacket over the suit. (I can share photos if requested but was saving for an OOTD post) I was mistaken for the funeral director by several people, perhaps my view of funerals is largely outdated but I thought paying respect by dressing well was appropriate. Was I over dressed? For reference the average attendee was wearing a polo and blue jeans, there were several in hoodies and sweatpants. Myself and the funeral director were the only ones in suits and or dress shirts. What's your thoughts?
