A lot depends on the type of industry you are in, but overall, things have gotten very sloppy over the years. Before business casual took off, my SIL worked for a high end clothing store and I got her discount. I had a great wardrobe and the quality of it compared to the rags you get today was striking.
That said, my family owns a dry cleaner and my mom commented that as people are going back to work, the quality of clothes has improved. Lots and lots of dresses over the summer and while it may not be suit and ties, men are going back to a more traditional business casual with button down shirts. I think everyone is sick of sweatpants. Friend of mine is back in the office and she said she actually feels better getting dressed in 'work clothes'.
Yea I was gonna say, it’s enjoyable getting dressed up. I’m in construction so my attire isn’t as important, just needs to be durable. As I’m typing this from the knee down I’m covered in mud. But on Church Sundays I get on the shiny shoes and slick pants. Nice shirt with buttons. It feels good. And afterwards we sometimes go out to eat or to the store. People notice. They give you that, “we’ll be looks nice” look. I absolutely recommend people getting dressed up a bit weekly, or daily even. 👍

Sadly it is a Provincial Government Office Tower.
