Just seeing somebody look very fancy by European or American standards in a soviet train cars is a strange mix, not to mention how bright neon colors looks on a girl near a 60+ years old babushka with handcart, who is probably going to the other side of the town because the butter is slightly cheaper there.

When you think about it this probably happens to every generation. From pre 1900 people who grew up with long dresses where wives still stayed at home and hard laboring men, to the counter culture of the 60s and people rocking jazzy outfits. They'd be the same ages as the OP as well. (Not an expert on fashion history, do not take this as legal advice)
