Why were men so much more fashionable 50 years ago than today?

because it's a TV show with a costume department that pays extra attention to make sure everyone is dressed nicely.

>implying the classic grey flannel suit wasn't just a uniform men wore because they didn't want to put thought into what they were wearing

>> No.7609298

what the fuck does that even mean?

No don't answer that I know what you're going to say:

>classy suits man!
Office etiquette. Standards of uniform presentation. Originally it was meant to break down class distinctions and put everyone on the same level because *anyone* could afford an off the rack suit and would look pretty good in it. And everyone fit an off the rack suit because people weren't fat back in the day.

It wasn't 'classy'. It wasn't 'fashionable'. It was standard, nondescript and presentable. The 20th century equivalent of being issued khakis and a blue golf shirt so you can work at bestbuy.

lolno, they were just as ill dressed as the modern man

>> No.7609598

Because there was the post war economic boom which lead to a thriving middle class. This middle class is brand new. The men got rid of their factory uniforms and picked up suits as a way to try and identify themselves as something far from a factory worker. They had pride in their jobs and content with their social level.

Today, we have a much more liberal society. The older jobs like bankers and financiers all still wear suits but the new, west coast jobs, like in the silicone valley, don't have a dress code. My dad is an executive at intel, and even in meetings with the board of directors of a 130bil+ company, the attire is jeans and a nice shirt.

does that answer your question, OP?

>50 years ago

I like how whenever anyone says "50 years ago" they mean "TV shows about 50 years ago" because actual men 50 years ago all dressed like fat fucking grandpas. They swam around in their clothes because they all wanted big ass clothes for whatever reason. Every old dude I see wears shit that's super baggy but still bitches and moans about younguns sagging their pants like it's still 2002.

If you want to look like a dude from the 1950 then do by all means dress like one, but don't expect every person in the world to devolve in fashion sense.

Well, i really don't like to brag, but i'll jot down a few things.

1stly I have the best collection of music, and movies and books in the world.
I have the greatest taste in all art forms including clothing, though i tend to dress modestly to not outshine my peers.

Although I chose this username due to my interest in medication and pills I actually have beaten Dr Mario on Gameboy.

I don't play many video games but I was featured in the May 2004 issue of Nintendo Power for his documentary, the April 2005 issue of Nintendo Power, and the community college newspaper for Piedmont Virginia Community College.

Around March 1, 2013, just after I purchased a Nintendo Wii from my buddy, Joshua Martinez, I found in a Google Search of "dr. mario 4chan trip" the beginning paragraph and digital photograph that was the start of the "gay_trips" page, was just the seed of twisting around my words and whatnot for their Cheap Laughs at MY Expense.
A Picture was taken THE FRIDAY NIGHT just before discovering the page by an individual who was at the Pokemon TCG League I was attending; the picture was blurry. The TWO FIENDS who dared to contribute to this SLANDEROUS MESS who were there was Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto card game palyer, Daniel Mimms and his buddy/accomplice Lucas.
After discovery, I fought, God and Lord Knows how many times, long and hard to have that page taken down and removed from the internet forever. But sadly, my one plan of TMI-Input-To-Overload-Their-Minds-And-STOP backfired on me, as I had inadvertently added to that heck-fire.

I have learned a lot from August, 2013 to Early January, 2014 between the "Women" I talked to and was tricked into trusting, I am capable of telling the difference from the truth from THEIR LIES.

If you REALLY want to make a Reputation Of Me, then Hang Out With Me In Real Life. Quit hiding behind your Fucking Computers and "Anonymous" Bullshit

I would appreciate it if I was FULLY UNDERSTOOD as the Noble Gentleman that I am.
My mother and father are good people, I've had good role models who showed me how to act as a gentleman, Red Skelton to name one. I also see myself as a leader-figure, like Optimus Prime. I have made mistakes in my lifetime, even bad ones that could be considered "Shots to my own Foot", but I'm only human like the rest of the human population.
Also, my favorite movie of all time is "Mary Poppins", and Britney Spears is my favorite Music Star.

And SO I MAKE IT CLEAR!
I Wish to be Understood, Treated and Respected as an Individual Straight Human Male in this vast crazy world of various people and all that.
Show Me Some Respect, Please; I am Human like you.

The problem is most women would go rockabilly with that dress because fat girls like rockabilly since the classic 50's shape works for big tits and hiding fat, but the issue is that they trash it up. Rockabilly a shit. That dress is gorgeous.
