    It's changed just as much as it did going from 1920 to 1960 lol....the fedora and trenchcoat, for example, were fashion staples until the early 70s. Skinny ties were one of the more distinct parts of men's fashion throughout the 60s. The rest of the ensemble? You're going to struggle finding differences between men's suits from each of those decades.

      I think this is a magnitude and direction argument.

      Fashion is changing direction still, however it's cultural magnitude is much lower because "out of date" styles don't actually stop being produced.

      The other issue is that for RTW there's not really any significant mainstream evolution of new clothing, people aren't really mainstreaming tech wear, they're mainstreaming tech-wear lite for the finance bro office.

          Sorry I meant RTW, ready to wear, the segment of clothing that is typically what you shop for. Haute Couture is the segment of clothing that goes down runways.
