Nowadays, people do not follow stereotypes about what to wear or what to do even in public spaces, but even though we are in the 21st century, we still have some places where we are asked to follow some specific rules. One of the examples that came first to my mind is parties, and one of the most popular is prom. Women are expected to wear beautiful dresses, heels, makeup, and men are expected to wear fancy suits, ties, and formal shoes. Even in some situations, this may not be comfortable for everyone, but this type of clothing needs to be followed because these are the rules.
