In the future, efficiency is the name of the game to keep corporations running and preventing social and environmental collapse. Everyone has their responsibilities, tenets and rules written out for them, even their tasks day to day. Some schedules change day to day and some people have their schedule tattooed to their arm.
People live in controlled environments below or above ground. Indoor climate control is perfected such that it is always a comfy “room-temperature”. Indoor clothing becomes fashionable than functional, but also still kind of focused on work function. The semblance of clothing for weather is reserved to those that need to work outside these environments, and they are highly functional.
Individuals and cultures try to preserve an idea of their life outside, either replicating environments underground and indoors, or wearing it on themselves, not unlike the tattoos they wear as mandated by the system. Some see it as a way to rebel against the system or to maintain a sense of individuality.
