LOL. I think I already made this point, Helen. Great minds think alike.
or Fools seldom differ?

Fact is I put my money where my mouth is. I DO wear suits. Often I'm wearing suit jacket, waistcoat, and women's jeans. Do I stand out?! Yep! Is that the point? No. I dress for me, and for my wife. She loved me before the suits. She purrs now. Hehe.

My observation is that both genders have shifted to a more casual mode which has reflected a softening of societal rigidity.

That CDs are increasingly tolerated, even accepted or welcomed, as evinced by many on this site, supports my theory.
