I’ve always assumed that the main reason a particular mode of dress is chosen in college is: it helps you get laid. So, did your clothing choice work for you in this department? (God knows nothing seemed to help me.)
As a side note, the large international company I work for just instituted a year round, every day dress down policy for every branch from now on. I don’t hear many people complaining about it - that’s for sure.
Maybe a new topic should be started about this.

This was in the late 1970s: EVERYBODY was getting laid. I could’ve worn a bubble-wrap hat and dressed like Howdy Doody and I could’ve gotten laid.
But yeah, I guess I got a higher quality of men by dressing like Claudette Colbert.
The professor works for you. His/her job is to teach, not to judge fashion.

Well, actually, introverted computer science types weren’t doing so hot. Times haven’t changed so much in that regard either.
To get back to the OP, have you ever looked back at pictures of people enjoying themselves in the 1950’s (and even earlier, in the early 1900’s)? Even in hot weather, people are wearing heavy broadcloth, suits, often hats. Yuck.
My favorite example is the Dick Van Dyke show. Even on weekends, he always wore a suit and tie. Sheesh.
