Pajama pants in public - have you seen this? It's enough to turn your stomach. For the curmudgeon, it's enough to empty my stomach.
Heck, I was unsettled when sweat clothes began to appear in public places that had nothing to do with exercising. All it takes is a trickle before the idiot floodgates open and we have once again lowered the "appropriate dress" bar.
History is clear on this. For example, when my sainted wife and I honeymooned in Bermuda, we prepared for jackets and ties at dinner and golfing attire when we weren't at the beach - that was the appropriate Bermuda attire. But one young buck showed up at dinner one night with just an open-necked shirt. Did he slink out in embarrassment and return properly dressed? Nooo. And the next night other young idiots followed HIS lead. A trickle of poor taste turned into a flood.
Such appears to be our fate - sweats are in restaurants already and soon, pajamas. I fear what may be next. Togas? Just shoot me.
