It is not just under 30's. I was upset with my son for wearing his skateboard shoes to his 8th grade graduation (I neglected to look down on our way out the door!). I was embarrassed because I knew my parents would be there. However, some of the teachers who were present, and there were a few over 40, were wearing flip-flops and denim capris. The principal wore khaki shorts, and the superintendent chewed on a wad of gum the entire time.
Also, last summer on vacation, I politely asked my son to remove his baseball cap in a fairly upscale restaurant. He didn't want to because of "hat hair." I quickly scanned the room to judge the atmosphere. Across from us set a man of around 50 with a big sweatband across his head - I told my son not to worry about his cap. I probably should have made him anyway in retrospect.
