No, clothes are cheap now. Before the RTW revolution, when garments and cloths toon a good chunk out of a normal persons pay check, the size of your wardrobe may have suggested status.

I can go blow a shit ton of cash at H&M, that doesn't suddenly elevate me to a classy position.

I see what you're saying, but that alone doesn't imply it doesn't hold.
Independent of how affordable stuff is - it may well be that upper class people decide to actually wear more layers and lower class people don't.

I do think you might have a very, very limited point: my experience with both upper-class and lower-class people generally indicates that the latter gyrate towards "t-shirt plus" outfits, whereas the former are usually raised to do a bit more than that. Most of my poorer friends, even in colder regions, will automatically toss on a t-shirt and coat in freezing weather, whereas my wealthier friends are much more likely to try to "dress up" for the weather.

I now read up on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-to-wear
and this all seems to have happend half a decade before that class book was written.

Also, what do you mean by "dress up" for the cold weather? What would they wear?

Also, are you sure you have a good grip on knowing when to label people lower and upper class?

Speaking broadly: cardigans under blazers and over dress shirts, etc. Basically anything that was an affirmative effort to dress up.

>Also, are you sure you have a good grip on knowing when to label people lower and upper class?
I'm going on socioeconomic status exclusively, and the delta between the people I'm talking about is huge.

What line or work are you in, or who did you get to know them?
