Not like this they don’t! At least not in any of the places I frequent. Sure, people will dress pretty slick for formal parties now. I guess maybe this was all formal wear for its era, and not something worn daily. Or maybe it was worn daily for the very wealthy.
join a fashion hobbyist community. there are, in fact, many groups for people who want to dress up. some people dress up quite a lot, and this guy is an example.
Yeah this was pretty rare fashion in its era, a small selection of the very rich wore it but most people were dressed far more blandly than the average today
Biggest reason? Dressing this fancy is expensive. Prohibitively, in many cases, at least as an every day thing. I like to dress up from time to time, but I would need a lot more fancy clothes in order to dress up to that degree every day.
I wouldn’t really apply the word cool to a meticulously thought out, complicated outfit. Cool invokes effortlessness, this is anything but. This is impressive and grandiloquent.
because good clothes don’t fucking exist anymore, all you can buy is trash tier stuff made in an indonesian sweatshop by people who can barely afford food, which the shop then charges 200 bucks for.
it just makes no sense to buy anything other than tshirts and jeans these days, everything else is just extra profit to evil companies and isn’t of higher quality.
Back in the day clothes were actually high quality and practical, if you can get your hands on some authentic second hand stuff you’ll see the difference.
Why don’t we dress cool anymore?
Lots of people do. Wear whatever you want.

I could dress cool… for money.
Or with money.

I regularly wear a full-length cloak in public. Nothing is stopping you
Ew, gross! Kill it! Kill it with fire!
We’re not hiding the odeous stench of our bodies anymore.
