Michael Moynihan: Pyjama pants on Pana? Has dressing in good attire gone out of fashion?

Everyone seems to have dressed really well in Cork in the 1960s. Now we live in an era of unflattering tracksuit pants, baseball caps, drooping jeans and crocs

Clearly there is no appetite for a dress code to be introduced for those seeking to come into the centre of town, even though the idea does appeal. Picture: Larry Cummins

Every now and then the photographs flash up online or in real life, and every time they do it’s striking.

I refer to old snaps of Cork city, specifically those showing streetscapes from the sixties, maybe even into the seventies, pictures which show the hustle and bustle in the centre of town.
