Why do some people say that social class is sometimes reflected in clothes?

The most obvious thing is to go to some physical clothing stores, where the employees are very eye-catching. No matter what clothes people wear, the gap is there, and they rarely make a mistake when they look at people.

the first is to look at the brand of clothes, which is the simplest and most convenient. Famous brands, big brands, popular brands and unknown brands are really beautiful!

Second, look at the material of clothes. Some rich people don't take the usual road, so people love some niche brands. Most people have never heard of their names, but they are still prohibitively expensive. Besides, you can't always look at people's clothes labels when you see them! Good clothes are still very textured!

Third, some people may not care what clothes they wear, and clothes are not very expensive. Eye-catching shop assistants will look at what shoes they wear, which is better than clothes!

Fourth, look at the tone of voice. Some people are very good at pretending. When they enter the store, it is a blow to raise their prices. The clerk who is used to big scenes has already seen through you and can pretend better than you! The economic situation of people who pick up clothes and try to choose clothes after their eyes stay on the price tag is absolutely different!

the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the amount of money in the pocket will be reflected in the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and clothes are the most obvious, just a glance!

However, when a person can endure to wear a pair of shoes with dozens of pieces and a T-shirt with dozens of pieces, all the above statements will be invalid! For example, a former treasure is a family member!

the difference between the rich and the poor is not that you wear Dior and Chanel, and I wear 361. It is not that you use Givenchy and I use Dabao every day, but that when you wear 361, I still wear 361, and at most I will change to Li Ning.

The biggest difference between the poor and the rich is the choice of clothes. The increase in choices brought by the increase in money gives the rich more choices in wearing clothes, both luxury and ordinary clothes. However, the poor are limited by money, so they can only narrow their choices and try to dress as decently as possible under limited economic conditions. Of course, limited economic conditions also make it impossible to have much choice.

There is another big difference, that is, thickness. The better the living conditions are, the thinner the clothes are, and the worse the living conditions are. The living conditions of the rich and the poor are different. The rich people go in and out with fragrant cars, and the places where they are located are all out of the sun, so there is no great requirement for the thickness of clothes. In real outdoor cold places, the rich often have better warm clothes and wear them.

With the progress of society, people dress more casually. In ancient times, there were different classes and different styles of clothes, but now they can wear whatever they want. From this point of view, maybe the uncle next to them on the bus is an invisible rich man.

No.

As the saying goes, clothes make the horse depend on the saddle, which means that as long as a person dresses up a little, earth-shaking changes will occur.

Just because a person dresses well doesn't mean that he is in a high social class. Maybe he has no car or house, but he loves to boast. Just because a person dresses simply doesn't mean that he is a low class. Maybe he is a celebrity but his life is simple.

tell me the examples of my two bosses.

Let's talk about the little boss first. He is directly in charge of us and belongs to a big boss in a certain field. But it is really simple and convenient for him to wear. In winter, he is a simple jacket and jacket, and the color is very different, and the gray is not slippery. Even if you go out to talk to people about business, you are dressed like this. In his current social class, there are certainly conditions to dress better and more decently, but people just don't care, so how can they be simple and comfortable?

let's talk about our big boss, the head of the company. Our company is also very good in the industry. The boss is often invited to participate in activities, but even if he participates in activities, the boss only wears a Uniqlo suit with a pair of jeans, which is very simple. Although people in the company often ridicule him for wearing ordinary clothes, the big boss still goes his own way.

Let's give some examples of people who are well known.

First of all, mark zuckerberg, the founder of facebook, is his social status high enough? But people wear this

this

or this

Yes, people only wear gray T-shirts, jeans and sneakers all the year round. According to Zuckerberg, this dress is to save time spent on clothes.

let's talk about apple's Steve jobs again. His daily standard is a black pullover, jeans and sneakers, which have been consistent for many years.

In fact, a person's clothes are the most difficult to reflect a person's social identity, because clothes can be bought with money, but temperament can't.

that's all for today!

it's a pity that there are classes in society!

in fact, the most important core product of the clothing characteristics embodied by the so-called class is a psychological expression.

in a nutshell, it's one sentence: to be hidden or to be obvious!

I have seen a high-class party.

It was at Wimbledon in the south of London, England. British upper class, an important part of social activities in summer: Wimbledon Tennis Open.

Wimbledon, which originated in 1887, is one of the four major tennis tournaments in the world. Known as the "king of hard land". June and July are the social season in Britain every year. During the prosperous period, all the noble families in the Commonwealth countries will be invited. Watching Wimbledon is a sign that your family is still active in the aristocratic circle. Some families look at the history of Wimbledon for generations.

On the final day of Wimbledon championship, members of the royal family must attend and present prizes. The Queen of England is old now, and I haven't seen her for several games. However, the Prince of Wales or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will also attend on their behalf. When their family comes in, everyone should stand up.

Wimbledon's dress code for spectators and athletes embodies the life opinions of high-class people.

first of all, athletes must wear white clothes. In the audience, men can't wear T-shirts, they must have collars. Ladies can't wear shorts, they must wear skirts and sleeves.

in terms of color matching, it has outstanding characteristics.

the low-key unsaturated color is the symbol of the upper class. High saturated glare of red and green. Exposed short dress, gender reinforcement: for example, men's shirtless, women's low-cut backless, miniskirts and black stockings are not in line with etiquette!

I remember that I was wearing a monochrome, muddy white linen fabric with a knee-length skirt. With pearl gray silk cardigan. Same color as my boyfriend's casual linen suit. Shoes are all open loafers. The carry-on bag is light brown. Ask your partner to dress consistently and echo each other!

in western social activities, dinner dresses are the most vivid ones. However, the low-cut suspender dress still tests people. Custom-made dress, chest position is very important. Never too low! Otherwise, it is an accident. And miniskirts ... Most people don't try anyway. It is also a rule that the upper part is short and the lower part is long.

"High-class women are more willing to show their personality and charm than sexy and seductive. Because they marry not by beauty and sex appeal, but by surname and wealth. " A friend of mine with a broken mouth explained to me why this situation exists.

similarly, they don't have LOGO on them. Because they have their own status. They think their status is enough to make themselves the focus of attention. If you can't condescend to lower your price, go low and brand it.

once I "make a fool of oneself"!

In a diplomatic activity, Zhengda Group invited a princess from Thailand. No, it should have been called: the queen saved it.

The princess wore a coat with a sign tattooed on it. I thought it was a clothing brand! Later, I learned that it was the royal family emblem. It turns out that members of the royal family will not use items with brand logos.

the thinking mode of the upper class is: I am a famous brand. I am a symbol of strength! I don't need to show self-strengthening, I prefer to keep a low profile and be close to the people. Show your cultured elegance. To set an example for the public.

in the lower class, aesthetics is just the opposite!

strong colors. Including make-up, nail polish, clothing, shoes and hats, cars ...

I am also keen on all kinds of brand-name signs. The exposed signs will make people have many associations. For example: the brand is me!

another thing, they like to show their advantages. Like a man's strength. Rich. The combination is: a big gold chain, a big gold watch, and a tattoo with sunglasses. Women will show their charm more directly.

for example: bright colors. Exposed clothes. Locally enhanced signal. Big breasts, beautiful hips, long legs and red lips. High-heeled shoes, tight skirts, strong perfume and heavy makeup regardless of occasion.

never lower your chest.

never have a big red lip.

never get red nails.

never wear black stockings. (except in the case of fur in winter).

never make the logo obvious.

...........

This is the content of a British etiquette training course. There are many rules.

but I'm still willing to break the rules.

when I was young, I often wore a low-cut camisole with trousers. Because my chest is as flat as the highway. The figure is like a pencil, thin and straight. Dressed like this, with a flat-topped straw hat, there will be an interest in "being able to tell whether I am a male or a female" ... < P > "Handsome!" A Cantonese always calls me that.

this is the right of young people: break the rules!

I still want to emphasize one point. Actually, aesthetics has something to do with class.

however, quality has nothing to do with class!

clothes are actually very material, and fashion and fashion are closely related to material consumption. Although the fashion industry relies on designers and fashion design for art every day, it can never get rid of the commercial part. People with high social classes have financial resources, and there are more occasions when they need clothes with a sense of design and expensive clothes. Therefore, I think "judging people by their clothes" is not a bad habit in the fashion circle, but a manifestation of professionalism.

what details can you usually see about social class from "dressing"? In the "How to Distinguish Leaders from Ordinary Employees by Dressing in a Company" I answered a few days ago, I introduced some observation methods in the workplace, but the topic should refer to social ecology in general, not only in the workplace. Because of many hidden celebrities, there is no workplace in other people's world. Wearing the best clothes is a way of life that people are born with, and it is not to make you think who they are.

For example, these people don't really have a high face value. It seems that there is nothing special about the clothes in terms of style and collocation. You can buy them in China, and you can wear them like this, but they are different. They are two pairs of golden couple of the British royal family, the two most famous princes in the world. However, Princess Kate's plaid coat is of good quality at first glance, and plaid is the most easily exposed material of inferior clothing quality. This plaid of Princess Kate is very neat, and the plaid of the skirt, including the position where the buttons are at the intersection of plaid, is very correct. Other people, by observing the length of their coats, the color of their coats, and the tightness of their styles and figures, can see that the aesthetics and lifestyle of this class are superior to those of the general class. And the most important thing is aesthetics. Many people have money but wear ugly clothes. The aesthetic ability gained from education is not enough, and aesthetic ability determines what clothes you will wear and buy.

The two black children sleeping back to back in the picture above, if they are not dressed like this and filmed in this family environment, you can easily think of African refugees, and they are two African orphans adopted by Madonna. They were dressed in printed clothes with a strong sense of national home and warm UGG boots, and fell asleep on the spacious sofa. The relationship between social class, lifestyle and dressing style is self-evident.

This is another Cate Blanchett I like very much. As one of the best actresses in the world, it's not unusual to see the clothes she wears. My colleagues in your office ABC probably wear them like this, but the brand they wear is Giorgio Armani. In fact, Giorgio Armani's clothes are difficult for most people to accept, because when you go to the store, you find that the clothes look so ordinary, the colors are very serious, and the styles are not fancy, but they are very expensive.

but why can't your colleague ABC in your office wear such extravagance? Temperament is the first, aesthetic experience temperament, temperament can be expressed through clothing, and seemingly ordinary and simple clothing, the most need to design and produce the most elegant lines, Cate Blanchett's confidence and calmness in life are expressed from clothes, and usually many people are kidnapped by clothes after buying expensive clothes, and they lose themselves, which is not really a class worthy of respect and envy.

A few days ago, there was a news that US President Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and both of them actually "bumped into ties", and both of them chose English twill ties with stripes diagonally to the upper right. The navy tie is the same in both color and stripe thickness. In fact, this news also conveyed a message that there are certain principles and norms in the clothes of each class. The bondage of this norm led to the two of them bumping into ties. Fortunately, I didn't hit my shirt but my tie, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

If you want to know more about the class code hidden in this dress, let's ask paul fussell, a famous American cultural critic, to tell us how to judge their social class according to their clothes. Remind once again that the book Style is about the United States. Please don't sit in the right place, otherwise it will hurt the innocent.

We all know that judging people by their appearance is a derogatory term, which originally means judging people according to external standards such as their appearance, words and deeds. However, in Style, a new responsibility is given to "judge people by their appearances", which becomes a basis for judging the social class of Americans. Let's refer to the contents of the book and see how keen observers can get a glimpse.
