Dress codes have relaxed significantly across various social settings, with many opting for casual wear in places traditionally associated with formality. This trend has been particularly noted by those from previous generations, like baby boomers, who view it as a decline in public decorum. However, experts argue this represents a cultural shift that emphasizes personal freedom in self-expression. Historian Linda Przybyszewski traces this change back to the 1960s, highlighting the erosion of strict dress codes that were once taught in home economics and reinforced by government guidelines.
