Description
In 1955, every man wore a suit and every woman wore gloves just to catch a flight. By 2025, billionaires wear hoodies to board meetings and people board planes in pajamas. What happened? This is the forgotten story of how America undressed itself — from the 1960s rebellion to Silicon Valley to the pandemic — and why the grandchildren of the rebels are now bringing elegance back.
