I think most of the obsession with ‘proper’ dress is an east-of-the-Rockies thing.

My sister and I have had a heated argument about the Fetterman attire issue. She was a high school teacher back in the 70’s and favored a dress standard for both faculty and students at the very time that rules were dramatically changed; her attitude continued through her post-teaching careers. I think she believes that somehow more formal attire contributes to more civil behavior. She attributed much of the decline in student classroom behavior to the decline in dress.
