    Of course it will be seen as silly. Most people are just too used to them to see them that way today.

    It’s like seeing judges wearing wigs and robes. At one point that was just normal formalwear, but it looks really goofy now.

      I think suit/tie and dresses are the only type of clothing every human will recognize for as long as civilization as we know it doesn’t crumble. You could show someone from 100300 years ago, a suit or a dress from today, and they would know what it was

        The suit is a 20th century invention.

        Someone might “know what it was”, i.e. it’s a jacket that doesn’t close properly and matching pants. But, they didn’t exist until the 20th century.

        It’s a matter of time before they finally go out of fashion, and people look at them like we look at men wearing tights and shirts with puffy sleeves.
