Why is it that people don't dress up to go to nice restaurants anymore?

I agree, I like a good suit, I miss the '50s where men worse suits a lot more than today. If you're going to a nice place, it just sets an atmosphere if you don't see people wearing informal clothes.

I agree completely. You know what? You're very smart, you like the Beatles and think the same things as me. Of course, I'm not the kind that likes to go to fancy, expensive places but when I do I make sure to do my hair and put on a nice sweater/dress. If only I could have been born before this horrid Era.

I have noticed that society is getting more and more casual.. and less and less respectful.

You can see this happening in number of areas... one of these areas is dress code is expensive restaurants.

Personally for me, bring back the days where people dressed up on sundays and special occasions, children had respect... hey don't get me started!

lol

no longer each and each person will gown great. human beings positioned on what they want to positioned on. human beings do gown great at present, human beings only have different personalities. the garments they positioned on convey out who they're interior and out of doors.

dude are you demented or what..you go to a resturent to eat and enjoy food not to look at the crowd there

and whats your problem its their wish what to wear and what not to wear

i never do that

i allways go to fancy resturants in my fancy leather mini skirt and my leather boob tube

it makes me SICK to see people in jeans

HOW VILE

its nice to dress up but alot of people anymore cant afford dress clothes. anyway its nuts to spend 300.00 on one meal that could go to other things but whatever as long as you dont do it constantly

Yes, I agree- but restaurants have to move with the times to be able to survive....

There are certainly some (more expensive) places that people wouldn't get away with casual dress, but they tend to be more exclusive. People are willing to pay more for a place where everyone is well dressed, polite, and well mannered.

The reason is that most restaurants don't want to turn away paying customers just because they are dressed casually, especially if it doesn't seem to bother other customers.

Personally, most of the people I know would at least make some effort when going to a 'fancy' restaurant, because it's not something you do every day.

Standards have changed. Look at today's celebrities. They are no where near as glamorous as stars such as Bogart, Cary Grant, Dorothy Dandridge, Sidney Poitier, Betty Davis, and Katherine Hepburn to name a few...
