Up until very recently half of the enjoyment of that event was that everyone got to see and to be seen in their Easter outfits.
A virtual Easter fashion parade.

This year?
Half of the crowd was dressed down. Thoroughly dressed down.
Both genders and all ages. I mean ultra-casual. Raggedy. It was awful.
Beat-up denim jeans to an Easter meal in public?

I'm no expert or exemplar. I do not dress up very often. But I do for Easter.

To me it was mystifying…and sad.
I think you can blame this on the fact that establishments can no longer enforce dress codes. Why? Because it's against the law. Discrimination. They can only "recommend". Although I'm a firm believer in wearing jeans, it's always "where appropriate". Wearing jeans to Easter Sunday brunch is NOT appropriate IMHO.
