How do you like men and women to dress: Formal, Casual, for Church, for CS etc ( Archived) (40)

Most important thing is for them to be s-q-u-e-a-k-y clean... If they are wearing a nice and very masculine cologne like "Aqua di GIO", that's a big plus... The rest is very simple: A t-shirt, jeans (no skinny legs, please ) and Timberland or Caterpillar boots...

Here in the U.K. we call them choker necklaces .They even make them in the shape of dog collars for punk rockers..

Dad was born in another era in Germany Mom in major US city. I was raised to the belief that if you go into public, you owe it as a sign of respect to dress as well as you can. Now adays, people go to formal affairs like church, funerals, weddings....whatever..dressed like they are heading out to clean the garage or garden.
It has to do with the new attitude of I am great, I am superior to all...take me as I am or go jump cause I am special.
It started with no dress codes in schools. Advanced to casual Fridays and has progressed to slob- ville.
Fashions have changed through out history. Some of the past dress was ornamentaly gorgeous but how the heck did people function in them. Some even cause death.
I am crazy for bling, shine, glimmer,bright colors and the creations of art that many countries create through beading, embroidering and embellishment. But, with a small town, no place to wear many. My fella is a basic jeans and t or plaid flannel shirt. He dislikes me to wear much more than boring. I tell him life is short and 6 feet under is boring so why rush it.
I like collars/chokers. The wider and blingier the better.
I notice foriegn countries where women may only have a couple of dresses, but they take time to look thier best. Men also.
In the US the worst you can look seems the ideal. Like paying $50 for a pair of holey, distressed jeans I wouldn't wear to the barn because I would get dirty though the rips. I can do that on barbed wire without paying for it.
My other crab is the bare leg look. Dress to the nines and no stockings. So the statement is...jump my bones cause I aint got no undies on under here? Plus not many women have perfect skin on their legs.
