    The founding fathers didn’t dress fancy at all, literally the attire of better of peasantry, they just made sure to look their best for picture painting day.

    the idea of Washington in his military uniform as permeated the public idea of what the man looked like to the extent that modern depictions show him wearing his military uniform when spending time at home with his children!

      If they show up for painting day wearing their fancy wigs and clothing they most certainly cared about their image.

        remember back in school, on picture day you would see everyone trying to look their best, did they do that every other day? did people come in with sweatpants? (if school allowed it), or did they wear their dress pants every day?
