Those who are new to Brentwood are usually very surprised when they walk the community for the first time. Upon seeing the well-maintained, clean streets and classic Americana architecture, one new citizen famously remarked, “This place makes Mayberry look like a shanty town!” This high standard of appearance extends to the dress and conduct of Brentwood’s population. You won’t see men stomping around in shorts and t-shirts on Main Street, nor will you see girls slogging about in yoga pants. Instead it’s practical, but sharp suits for the citizens and charming and fetching dresses for the ladies—all in a mid-1950s style. Ladies fashion, in particular, is carefully overseen to ensure the tenets of femininity and modesty are observed, lest they devolve into what we currently and sadly see in the world outside of Brentwood.
Husbands are considered the first line of defense against this very serious form of societal degradation.
