Nobody dresses fancy anymore.

I was at the Plaza Hotel in New York a while back. One of the most expensive and storied places in the world, and pretty much every guest I saw had brought their clothes at The Gap.

Why would you dress up for a hotel?

When traveling "looking fancy" is the last thing I care about.

If you expect them to dress up for no reason, sure.

Go where people actually have a reason to care and you'll find them...

It is expected to dress up for high end dining…. Even when traveling. It’s not β€œno reason”

That’s the point OP is making. Nobody is dressing up.

Last time I went to a nice restaurant, my wife and I were the only ones dressed nicely.

She wore a nice dress, I wore a shirt & tie; the entire rest of the restaurant was enjoying $75 entrees in designer athlesiure outfits.

Only 75 dollars? Where did you go? Olive Garden?

I think ties have fallen out of fashion. At least in business dress. Button up shirt, nice slacks and a sport coat, all tailored. You have to specify black tie if you want people in fancy dress.

Designer clothes are designed clothes. The pretentiousness of looking like you have money was still there, just people do it differently now. You don't scream "money" by wearing a suit you could've got tailored at Macy's. There's douchebag designer shit you can wear where it's clear you spent a lot on it, and people recognize it.

Clothes and dressing nice has always had a pretentious side. Some people used to just be showing off they could afford a suit and nice clothes. Now it doesn't mean as much. You show off you can afford to spend extra money on designer jeans.
