Why did the way people dress degenerate into what we see today? 50 years ago men dressed like this were a normal sight on European city streets, and now people call dressing well "gay"

Yeah right, maybe in the movies, pal. Most people all around the world and Europe were too poor to afford a suit in 1966.

How retarded are you? Look at any street photography from before the 1980s, EVERYONE is dressed nice

>around the world
>giving a fat shit

LIBERAL SCUM GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

majority. white. demographics.

How does that have anything to do with it when white people dress like shit nowadays too? Even countries that are over 90% white like Norway or something, you'll see young people wearing skinny ass jeans and other gay shit instead of traditional clothes from the 60s and before

I really enjoy your food reviews. Keep up the good work

Reviewbrah, is that you?

No, this is true for North America too.

99% of people who dress like that now like to watch niggers having sex with their wives/girlfriends. that's why it's ironic when nu males dress that way.

commercialization and improved production.

Back then, they had only a few suits. now we have huge closets.

This. My grandmother worked for a upper class shopping store in Oregon back in the 50s, she said men usually only had one suit unless they were very wealthy or had a high position in a job.

1960s

...

They just dressed that way because that is what society expected of them, not because they wanted to dress in a given manner.

They both look like they are running on empty, I wonder which fast food is best for them in this situation?

No one still dress like this save for necessity, work, it's extremely superfluous in this day and age.

>Double breasted vest with pocket watch
>Not gay
There's dressing well, and there's being a fucking faggot. The guy to the left is a fucking try-hard faggot. Colors and fit are nice though.

The same view now.

Dressing stylishly in this day and age is submission to (((the man))). I better not catch anyone here in the street wearing anything but a plain t-shirt and darkwash jeans, maybe a jacket if it's cold, but that's it. Don't test me.

people became jealous of those with money and made them feel guilty about wearing fine cloths.

this induced guilt made people wear shittier clothes until they blended in with everyone else.

it's a typical happening in fascist societies.

it's a huge waste of time and speaks to massive insecurity, as well as being impractical

who has the time to spend that long getting dressed (and is not a woman)

Well, modern medical advancements allowed the lower classes populations to skyrocket.

That's why the elite class hasn't grown in 100 years.

I wonder who was the last person in that photo to die. Probably one of the kids.

Reason: back in those days, the only way to show off your wealth was to wear expensive clothing.
Now days, people use cars to move around so there's no point in dressing flashy over comfy, and the reason you don't see nice clothes on public transportation is because only poor people use them.

tl;dr nice clothes used to be a status symbol, today it's other things

no they didnt you stupid faggot. No one wore suits all the time, unless they were some poor metropolitain fuck in 1890s europe and a cheap suit was literally the only clothes the owned.

All these pictures of people in suits in the 50s is because they are taken on busy streets during the week, while these people were going to work in an office.

fuck off you retarded "le wrong generation" fedora faggot

Because of trends often started by musicians who are influenced by or are black. Dressing in suits is not "modern", that's why young people don't do it. You can look really well in jeans and a sports jacket if it fits correctly, but most people won't bother wearing a jacket unless it suits the occasion.

Try going to a party or meeting your friends in a full suit. You'll look like a retard because no one dresses like that, unless they're rich and are surrounded by people who also dress in suits.

This.

though I don't know what it has to do with fascism but okay.

Also, modern clothing can fit a ton of people.

Clothing back then had to be tailored to particular body types to fit.

Conformity and limited choice in clothing options.

They didn't have 3rd workers making $5 t-shirts the early 20th century. You either had to shop at the department store or an independent tailor.

Thanks capitali$m ;)

Caring about fashion is gay.

Utilitarian garb is the new wave of conservatism.

>These times will never come back
>It will only get worse

Fashion changes. Truthfully, that shit looks awful and uncomfortable.

fascist leftist agenda wants everyone to be equal and 'the same' -> who isn't like everyone else is easy to spot and often socially isolated therefore.

it's even more severe in germany.

>Caring about fashion is gay.
>Fashion is gay.
True. Caring about clothes isn't though. Knowing what fits and looks good together should be a part of a grown man's life. Dad jeans and ugly running shoes are pathetic.

t.

Quick someone design a shirt with EVERY logo on it. Open-source the design, and then give these shirts to homeless people.

Pic related, it's the answer to everything, and it makes everyone happy all the time.

The rise of industry.

Suits are more expensive due to their complexity, since you can just churn out a thousand shitty t shirts in an hour without paying anyone for it that's how everyone came to wear cheap clothes every single day.

Your appearance is important, you just choose to ignore that because you're a lazy slob who never learned how to dress properly. Keep trying to justify your shitty appearance with
>m-muh comfy and utilitarian, everyone else is gay!

Thank fuck many private schools here still have proper uniforms.

shits too expensive and high maintainence. Back in the day you could get a decent suit for under $100 but you're looking at a few benjamins minimum, plus dry cleaning.

you scuff your spit shines and your fucked.

why do you think business casual was invented. all the beta drones get to wear jeans and a polo.

why not make tailored suits for the homeless to make sure other people respect them.

>a pocket watch AND a wristwatch
What am I looking at here.

I still dress elegantly unlike you disgusting pigs.

Butthurt fashion princesses here.

Bet you're all city cucks too.

he's one two timing double-crossing son of a gun.

Keep doing what you do, mate. Pay no attention to the people holding their breath as you waddle past.

Fucking read the great gatsby. Rich people didn't do "suits all the time". Poors always had their own weird shit going on, but the rich had a varied set of styles, many neocolonialist. It's just changed very slightly (cause guess what, khakis and polos were still a thing then too)

British. Invasion.
Once american "women" were done cumming to british bands, they decided to take the leather style fashion etc. etc.

This all you got?

Anyway I'm not fat, it's just that nobody but insurance and car salesmen wear suits around here. It'd instantly out you as an ass preening faggot.

They wouldn't need tailored suits if we just gave them places to live, food to eat, television to watch, internet to complain, transportation to homeless people conventions where they share stories of how thankful they are to live in a society that takes care of everyone equally.

Wait that's communism. fuck communism, we're better off voting for presidents who represent obfuscation of appropriated culture.

pic related, it's not working.

ITT: bunch of slobs and manchildren who couldn't dress their way out of a paper bag if you gave them a map and a flashlight, fuhgettaboutit

>dress their way
Actually ITT: salty fashion obsessed faggots and those who make fun of them.

Anyway you got your (You)!

you're a pathetic excuse for a man who (like a woman) relies on clothes for their self worth as they have no innate concept of self worth
