Are striped dress shirts out of style?

Only one doctor in our small town wears a suit or sport coat. The rest wear scrubs. Even "men of the cloth" only wear a suit on Sunday but, many of them wear a polo shirt under a robe or sport coat.
 
Most preachers hereabouts do not wear suits and ties any more. It's polo shirts and slacks (or even skinny jeans on the younger ones). Very nearly none of the parishioners wear suits and ties nowadays either.

Last funeral I attended I was the only one in a tie (including the preacher).

One of our pastors wears Hawaiian shirts with jeans (winter) or shorts (summer) and our other pastor wears skinny jeans, t-shirts, and a ball cap.
A little more casual than I would like, but they aren't trying to appeal to my sense of style, they are trying to attract the younger crowd. I'm OK with that. Without new young folks joining any group dies out...
 
I worked for a couple of shirt manufactures for about 20 years as production mgr. out of NYC. (all made in the U.S.A.) . I still think that there is nothing more stylish and classy as a cotton as a striped or checked dress shirt even if worn as a sport shirt. It's like that dressed down-dressed up look. Button down collars are still my favorite
Note: No tie necessary
