Just a thought on the mind set of men and women at the turn of the last century.

BTW I still think that a 1970's powder blue polyester leisure suit with a ruffled shirt is the height of fashion sense.

Grant, I still have one of those in my closet! Slight issue is that I got it when I had a 27" waist.

"Dressing Up" still is appreciated. Look at the heads that turn, and the conversations that start when one is in full traditional Highland kit. The lasses give you a very long look when you have on the Tank, coloured hose with garter ties, well polished shoes, and sporran, a proper waistcoat and jacket with shirt and tie. A properly worn Glenngarry or Balmoral gets more positive attention than a baseball cap or my flat cap.
