I might argue that she is distilling major social changes that affected beliefs and attitudes into simple dress code. Relaxed dress codes were a result of those changes, not a cause.

I would also add that these were the days of Viet Nam, the draft, Kent State, and Watergate. Distrust of authority among the youth (I was one of them) who saw that corrupt authority literally killing us when we weren’t even allowed to vote resulted in very rebellious attitudes. Jeans and t-shirts had nada to do with it - those were just a tiny gift to mollify us a bit.
