  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.

      That just used to be the social norms in the past. At one point, it was expected that you had to wear a hat when going outdoors by default. When we were young we used to tie an onion to our belt, which was the style at the time. Things change over time.

      Depends on the clothes. It’s not that I feel physically uncomfortable in a suit, just often socially uncomfortable. However a good suit is often more comfortable than jeans and a holey t-shirt physically. It’s soft, well made and fitted material. It shouldn’t be super uncomfortable.

    You sound pretentious.

      That’s not what ‘pretentious’ means.

      If anything, I sound elitist
