  Nobody dresses fancy anymore.

  Thank you for proving my point

    If you expect them to dress up for no reason, sure.

    Go where people actually have a reason to care and you’ll find them…

      It is expected to dress up for high end dining…. Even when traveling.

      That’s the point OP is making. Nobody is dressing up.

        Last time I went to a nice restaurant, my wife and I were the only ones dressed nicely.

        She wore a nice dress, I wore a shirt & tie; the entire rest of the restaurant was enjoying $75 entrees in designer athlesiure outfits.

        Last time I went for a fancy dinner I wore jeans and a work shirt. And that was like a $350 dinner. I’m paying for the view not to be judged for my dress.

    I would dress fancy if the world were worthy of it.

      Realistically, it costs about the same to dress up as to dress casually.

      In my humble opinion, when a person dresses nicely they are saying that they feel worth the effort.

        Are you a trust kid or what? This couldn’t be more false.

    But why would you dress fancy for a hotel? Most of the time it’s just less comfortable than jeans and a t-shirt. Not to mention the cost of dressing fancy.

      Look at pictures from back in the day.

      People used to wear suits and ties / dresses and jewelry if they were going out to dinner, or getting on an airplane.

      Also, the Plaza is a very expensive hotel. If someone can afford to spend the night here they can afford decent clothes.

        Sure, but why? What is the point in wearing decent clothes when other clothes are often quite a lot more comfortable. I’m not here to impress people with my clothes, I’m here to get on with my day/holiday/escort, not brighten some hotel lobby with an expensive suit.

    because nobody goes to hotels just to spend time at the hotel anymore. because nobody can afford to.

      The Plaza isn’t the Hilton Garden Inn. It’s a Fairmont hotel, and people 100% go there just for food, drinks, afternoon tea, the spa, etc.

      Also, you need to book reservations for a lot of that stuff well in advance. Those things are frequently booked up and used by a fuck ton of people who are not hotel guests.

  The Plaza is more than a place to crash. There is the Palm Court and a number of bougee things going on there. I would argue that more that half of the folks using those hotel amenities are not staying the night. They’re there for special occasions.
