    no.
    nothing changes. people in poor people clothes will stay poor. the guy who wears sweatpants to work? middle management forever. there’s zero change in my field except the young people wearing their pants too short.
    the sweatpants people can wear their oversized rolex and get into their leased bimmers, but when they roll through the district with their windows down, all the suits just side-eye them with disgust. you just know that they are a caste below you, but they wish they were in yours.

        Suits first started to show up in the 1700s as "court dress" and then became popular with all castes because there is no reason a suit has to cost more then any other outfit. Since then suits have been worn by everyone, because it’s an affordable uniform. It use to be worn for blue-collar jobs, then it became more for white-collar as we moved passed the 2nd world war.

        "Suits are for rich people" is a concept made manifest by poor people, who stopped buying suits so all of the cheap/affordable suit companies went out of business, leaving behind the extremes of terrible-quality but still pricey suits and very expensive luxury-quality menswear.

        In the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and through the 1960s you could buy decent suits for very little at department stores, that often would sell the same cut in different material options, offering different price points to make it even more affordable to everyone (often labeled as "Good, Better, Best").

    The future is going to be the annoying "soft" flex, or humble brag. I was at the opening for some tech thing a bit ago and the main speaker was dressed as a redneck, basically; trucker hat, flannel shirt, wife beater, disstressed jeans and cowboy boots and neon-color frames for his glasses. At a glance it’s like "who’s this dirt bag?" but then I got to talk to him, scanned the outfit and I realized it was all designer. Nothing cost less then $200 on his body. I then looked around and saw a few other guys dressed just like him; total rednecks/trailer trash until you stood next to them and really looked over the outfit.

    It was the weirdest thing, and it reminded me of Zuck; in that Zuckerberg is dressed like a boring NPC in normcore but you look close and it’s all very expensive.

    I don’t know what to call it other then humble brag or soft flex; but it’s real on the west coast and it’s annoying. These guys are blowing boatloads of cash to look like poorer people while people who know fashion know they’re loaded.

    Probably the main things that will go away are (racist) policies that were intended to exclude people from other cultural traditions like tattoo, piercing, and hair restrictions. Also restrictions on women’s clothing.
    I don’t know if we’ll ever see things like suits going away even though they come from the English court and were just spread by colonialism (it’s actually pretty weird that suits are worn as a standard in other countries if you think about it). Maybe the design of suits will evolve in the future but I kind of doubt that too aside from maybe minor tweaks or improvements that don’t really change it’s appearance.
    Hopefully dress codes start going away from non-government work settings though. They don’t really make sense in an era where business are composed of highly specialized people who don’t interact with clients (e.g. why would a software engineer need to wear a suit?).

      Maybe because they like what they were introduced to? Ever heard of cultural exchange? Every modern form of culture on planet Earth right now is built on borrowing what people liked from past cultures that no longer exist.

      >Also restrictions on women’s clothing

      . . . Where? (in the west? where are you talking about?)

      >Probably the main things that will go away are (racist) policies that were intended to exclude people from other cultural traditions like tattoo, piercing, and hair restrictions.

      Again, where? In 2022?

    I think the future is just a new suit. The track suit is not going away until something better comes along and the elites are going to continue down their weird rabbit hole of spending 10k to look ordinary.

    The hoodie is so wildly popular because it’s a combination of the woolen hood & cowl from medieval times / the woolen hooded cloak from 17th century thru 19th century Combined with a basic jacket. You’ve got all the benefits of a squishy cloak/blanket, the hood to hide/protect your face but then all the convinces of the more defined shape of a jacket/shirt.

    It’s also stupid-easy to manufacture hoodies en mass. With industrial serger machines, you can pump out hoodies, t-shirts and sweat pants WAY faster and cheaper then any other garment.
