nuke formal

Posted under Tags

BUR #15671 has been rejected.

nuke formal
remove implication suit -> formal

was inspired by the deprecation of the Royal tag
as well as the formal tag being completely poisoned by the implication it has, others in the discord have suggested it would be better to restart from scratch a tag for formal settings if we want to pursue that

not sure if the unimply was needed, can remove it if pointless

I can’t let go of the formal tag yet because we currently lack a catchall tag for western/european formal/evening wear. I know that the concept is somewhat vague for a tag, perhaps give it a pool? And I think I’ve already proposed the same to be done for royalty clothing, but I guess it’s not on people’s priorities. (Also for people wondering about the different between formal and royal, imo formal can be fancy too but is more modern-adapted).
There’s also pool #2020 but it wouldn’t be fitting for cases that are formal but not elegant.

we have japanese_clothes which is for traditional japanese clothes, i don't see any reason we couldn't have a similar tag for western formal wear
