Same in Minnesota in the summer, where I've been lately. People just live in shorts there. It's a very much a boating culture and the leisure class wears shorts a lot.
Within this, one can still be well dressed as opposed to slovenly. Being well-groomed, clean clothes, etc. I personally have always looked askance at grown men dressing like 8 year olds with oversized sports jerseys and shorts that come to their ankles, ball cap sideways, etc. But that's a whole other thing than what we're talking about in this thread.
Hollywood itself is a weird place where many successful people dress like children and people who wear business suits are looked on with pity but that's also another thing from this discussion.  |
I actually agree almost 100% with most of this ^. Well, I have no idea about Hollywood insider dress. But my worthless brother in law in Oceanside dresses like Chris Farley.
