I'm often in blazer and chinos, no tie. A very acceptable casual everyday look until maybe 35 years ago. Now I feel people often perceive that as being overdressed, and that I'm probably perpetually on my way to or from church or the office.

What I wanna know is -

Re: On Taste...
LOL.
Re: The tailcoat, I meant specifically with the servants. It was implemented to keep the household standard at a specific level, but was it bring the servant class up or the garment down?
I wouldn't characterize democracy as inflicting drabness on us. The '60's and 70's never would have happened without it.

Re: On Taste...
The only time I talk about clothes with anyone face to face is when the lady says "oh, it looks like you've received another shirt in the mail." And that's usually a one-sided conversation.
