The Death of Clothing

I play golf every Friday in the summer with the same group of guys. We will switch from week to week at each other's club. 5 to 10 years ago, you wouldn't even dare to come into the men's grill room after golf with a pair of jeans. You would be politely asked to go change or leave. Guests had to be warned to leave their phone in the car and bring a sportcoat to wear if you were going to the dining room for post golf dinner. An air of formality was palpable when you pulled onto the property. Now--guys will be on their phones while playing golf and unbelievably, have a blutooth speaker in their golf carts for music. Many will put on a pair of jeans for a beer or 4 after golf. This all in the past few years at a club that was known for its snob factor. I think the fact is we all enjoy dressing well, but there may be a time and place. The millennials may be on to something.
