no, it was called fashion same as blokes wore caps or trilby hats. women in those days would not dare venture out without their slap on the same as blokes having a shave. what you see nowadays are load of scruffy jean or trackie bottomed wearing sights where its hard to imagine how they managed to get their partners interested to have the gang of kids some have.

For over 70years I was the same as you state above, wore a Deerstalker hat,kept my beard and hair well trimmed, would not think of going out without a shine on my shoes.
Now at the age of 73, I no longer wear a hat, my beard would give Santa Clause a good run for his money, my hair is over my collar and I dont really give a damn any more.
After being told what to do and where I can,(cannot) go for the past six months I have now decided to do what (I) want and to hell with convention or what other folk think. in other words, As I have told my other half; I am going to grow old disgracefully.
Stay safe, (if you want) stay happy, (if you want) drink Hobgoblin,(if you can). Taddy.
