A 1947 article in Life lamented the sweaters and was shocked that these women "sometimes even ventured out of dormitories in rolled-up blue jeans and large men's shirts with the tails out." https://theweek.com/articles/878112/feminist-history-cardigan
@janallmac I think the 60s changed everything. In the space of 10 years, hemlines went from below-the-knee to miniskirts to maxis. Men stopped wearing hats. Casual wear took over... and it made everyone more relaxed.
I'm just glad the 70s Rayon and platform shoes...didn't last
@Madken65 @janallmac Leisure Suits!

My Uncle was one of those people who preferred to ignore the 60s like they never happened. Sigh. But you are right!
