Why are most players content with putting on generic glamour?

I found that to be funny, because I actually do feel that way in real life as well
(except for the "standards from 50 years ago" part, because we absolutely do have standards today too, you can't just show up to your job in your clubbing outfit,
unless you WORK at a nightclub..but no one will stop you from showing up to your tanking duties in FFXIV wearing only a bikini, if you want that)

There's a time and place for everything. Even without a strict uniform, expectations are to be made as per the occupation and the image the company wants to uphold.
