-lots of people are depressed. Depressed people aren't likely to care about their appearance.
-lots of people are on a variety of drugs. The drugs make us sicker. So we are obese and depressed and not getting any better. So we don't care about looking good.

-if you're female, it's really hard to find attractive clothes at a reasonable price. Ugly colors in designs that make you look bad? Lots of that around. Nice clothes at a good price? Not so much.
There is something else going on too; it might be related to the depression issue. I've found that people rarely complement each other if they look nice. So... if you're treated the same way for wearing sweats and a t-shirt as opposed to a suit, why bother? There is no external incentive.
I *suspect* the ugly clothes for women is part of a demoralization effort by... IDK, the government via Blackrock via Big Clothes? Aka "you'll sell the women ugly clothes because we want them to feel bad about themselves, and if you don't, no loans for you."
Some fair points shibumi. A few additions if I may on the first two...weaponized psychology and psychiatry have completely over diagnosed depression so they can pill push for their masters. Most people hear an "expert" that they trust but shouldn't say they're depressed and they assume the role of a depressed person even though they never were. The drugs then induce some depression and a whole host of other neuro ailments per the model of western "medicine" and they never get the proper guidance they need. In most cases simple things like sleep, exercise, hot/cold therapy, or even just talking would have cured them. Instead they are trapped inside the revolving door of psych appointments, drugs, and assumed role of victim. Make victimhood a source of social capital, as with younger generations and they will seek out mental health problems for self identification. Multiply this by tens of millions and you have an incapacitated and helpless population.
Victimhood sure walks on stilts these days, nigh fully embraced. Big Pharma here is a huge enabler; it makes the job of censorship (aka counter-mis/dis/mal-information) industrial complex all the more easy 😟

I too blame entities like Blackrock and Vanguard and government in general. But ultimately it's a spiritual battle. What we're witnessing is the result of moral decay across the board.
Though I certainly agree with you in part, my Grandmother always preached to us, "you may be poor, but you don't have to be dirty!" And, "If you're depressed, snap out of it!" If someone is overweight or feels like they are homely for whatever reason, they certainly don't have to wear a 10$ spandex leo and a tank top. Heck, a 5$ XXXL T-Shirt and a pair of decent fitting shorts would be better than that. Haha. But again, I get what you're saying.
“I've found that people rarely complement each other if they look nice.”
As a man, I note that complimenting a woman for “looking nice,” especially in the workplace, is now a cultural minefield. If you want to keep your job it’s better to keep your compliments to yourself.
I expect tacit or active derision from my family and friends. I already know they love me; consequently jokes are in order.
If one can't receive compliments gracefully from a colleague or a stranger, what's the point of putting oneself together? This is, I think, much to both Good Citizen's point and yours.
There are a few factors to consider:
-lots of people are depressed. Depressed people aren't likely to care about their appearance.

Yep. And they're overweight, tattooed and wearing leggings, skinny jeans and basketball shorts. Sad.

I'm learning to sew my own clothes. A useful skill in the days ahead.

It's all brutalism designed to depress us and make us give up hope.
Ugly clothes. Ugly cars. Ugly buildings. And now.... ugly men dressed up as women who are ... surprise... ugly.
RE: Grandma... LOL. Tough Love. Remember that?
Yes, I sure miss mine. If she was alive now, she would have much to say about the standards we (don’t) have.

Oh, I agree completely about the workplace.
However, it's not a bad thing to compliment your immediate family or friends, which mostt people don't seem to do anymore.

The author completely ignores the influx of thirdworlders, their negative influence and the (((media))) pushing such garbage on us though...
