That story is wrong. None of my family has ever been asked to submit a picture.
Random I guess.

It seems that in the US the current trend is to dress and groom as poorly as possible.
The "let themselves go" bit seems true for sure. I've noticed at the pool, if someone is over the age of about 20 there is a something like >90% chance that person will be visibly "overweight" (with lots of jiggly fat hanging all over them) and >30% chance that person will be what I'd call "obese" (with so much fat they are shaped more like an egg or a blob than a human). It's alarming, because I always think of the effect this must have on my insurance premiums.the trend is they let themselves go and just eat fast food and processed food constantly.
I guess I am just old school I like neat hair and groomed beards (less than 1"). For men's clothing khakis, blue blazers and neat shoes go well anywhere and have a clean look. Most people I see today have little concern over how they look and definitely don't look clean (unkempt hair, beard and clothing).
Neat hair/beard example.

I never wear a tie anymore. I have trouble finding khakis that are not pegged. IMO pegged makes both butt and feet look too big for most people. And the Chinese shoes everyone seems to wear make feet so large I would prolly trip over them. I like a deck shoe or original desert boot with straight leg jeans or khakis. Or cargo pants for ease of carrying my P3at (.380 cal) in the phone pocket.
The two friends I have in real life who are actual Marxists both seem to be channeling Marx himself, looks-wise.
In every State I have lived in, it's at the County Government office. From giant Counties to towns with one stoplight, it has always been at the County seat. Sometimes a Courthouse, sometimes not, but never at the former Wax Wash Diner and Gas.
What kids and adults wear to school and restaurants and stores, would have been washing the car attire or rags. But, I do appreciate not having to be as dressed up as I was as a kid.It seems that in the US the current trend is to dress and groom as poorly as possible.
I wear cargo pants exclusively, but mainly in the colder months. (I don't know if they're "tactical" or not...since I'm not active duty military, nor a member of a militia, nor LEO, it would just be "tacti-cool" anyway, which I think is pretty lame.)
