Why Is Everyone Nowadays So Scruffy?
98 Answers
It wasn't always so, in fact scruffiness has never been so endemic throughout history.
The French are probably the best dressed in Europe (the Women for sure). In Japan, the taxi drivers wear clean shirts and ties, but here everyone seems to be dressed sloppily, even in theatres and restaurants.
Is it indicative of something, or doesn't it matter?

You can spot them a mile off.
naomi, several posters have mentioned changing clothes, particularly dressing to go out, or for dinner. I was just pointing out that standards of dressing, even among polite society, have changed a lot over the past century or so. They're continuing to do so.
As to whether a nice top is nicer than a nice T-shirt bearing a nice slogan about killing the idle rich - well, that's purely a matter of taste.

We're retired, casual dressers. We are clean - our clothes are clean. What we wear is nobody's business but our own. Neither of us like wearing so called smart clothing. As long as we are not offensive, how does it matter how we dress. So no, Khandro, it simply doesn't matter. It just indicates that people dress for themselves not to create an impression.
I think you've hit the nail, Nellie.....there's a huge difference between casual and scruffy. For me scruffy is grubby looking with unwashed ill fitting clothing...and rarely washed or cared for hair.
I bling up for nights out...dinner or theatre....perhaps a bit blingier than some....but casual can be as pleasing as bling...
Jeans that fit well look good on both men and women....but not with an ironed crease down the legs as my mother in law insisted her son wore......:-)
