Gentlemen may I have your attention. Or should I say #gentleminions. If you ventured out to the movies this 4th of July weekend you may have noticed teens wearing suits. Which isn't a common occurrence and your suburban movie theater. Or depending on when you went you may have even seen signs saying no formal wear allowed. And I mean while I tend to elect for more comfortable, casual attire at a movie I would question why someone can't wear a ball gown.

Like most things these days the answer to this question...is TikTok.
