Thousands of young girls had to wear plaid uniforms to school. Back when there were dress codes for schools.
My dad used to wear business suits with multiple layers of plaid. He looked a little like the Herb Tarlek character on WKRP in Cincinnati. When we would ask him if he wasn't wearing maybe just a little too much plaid, it seemed to hurt his feelings.
People dressed a lot more flashy in those days then they do today, but I'm not sure that was necessarily a bad thing.

Herb Tarlek!
Okay, rolling back on plaid. I recall I had a wonderful dark blue and green (tartan pattern) skirt.
But seriously - seersucker! No one can argue about that.

People seemed to have more regard for what they wore in public or to their jobs in decades past. When I was a young child (1940's) my mother wore a hat, stockings, nice shoes, a nice dress and carried a nice looking purse when we went downtown to shop.
