What Class Are Your Clothes?
WHAT CLASS ARE YOUR CLOTHES?
What you wear says a lot about your upbringing and socio-economic background.
Below are some general observations. These are true for most western countries but, most particularly, Great Britain.
WOMEN
- Matching clothes and accessories involving at least one bright color, i.e., red: LOWER CLASS
- Matching clothes and accessories with a more muted ‘accent’ color, i.e., cream; LOWER-MIDDLE
- Two or three matched accessories: MIDDLE-MIDDLE
- Understated outfit with no heavy-handed matching or accessorizing: UPPER-MIDDLE or UPPER CLASS
- Exposed upper arms (middle aged and over): LOWER CLASS
- Short skirts, regardless of whether you have good legs: LOWER-WORKING-CLASS and NOUVEAU RICHE (working class origin)
- Short skirts with good legs: YOUTHFUL UPPER-MIDDLE & UPPER CLASSESS (who regard thick ankles not only as unattractive but also working class)
- Longer skirts with bad legs: UPPER CLASS – because those with thick legs usually take care to hide them
