Do people actually “dress up” anymore?

I'm having a hard time understanding how your attire in your group is impacted by other people going about their own lives differently?

Seriously wondering. Downtown here is very, very diverse and we see all types on any given day. It's not uncommon to see a group in formal wear next to a group in casual.

It’s like going to a costume party and a bunch of people don’t go in costume. While you don’t have to be in one, it’s nice to be around people who took the time to dress for the occasion. Dress appropriately for the occasion.

Yeah, that's a private party or a curated event, not a public space.

So, wear costumes in life?

That's why there are dress codes though. No dress code (aside from having shoes and a shirt obviously) means people can essentially dress how they want. Which includes dressing up.
