You mean casual office wear? I have a closet full of that shyt and since I’ve been WFH I’ve worn none of it.
I was remote then they asked us to come into the office. I bought a bunch of clothes like that then they said I could go back to fully remote.

Had me sitting at home like

This a response to the soft girl trend. Men have noticed women are unapologetic about wanting to be wealth adjacent to the point they will be attracted to someone who just gives the vibe of being wealthy, no substance needed.

Uh. Yeah. This has been the standard for hundreds if not thousands of years. Not a trend.

There is always status and socioeconomic signaling going on in everyone's dressing.

You are subtly and not subtly telling people who you are and what your values are. That's why dressing in the right context is important, but what affluent, higher income people lets just say in American, damn near aristocratic families, teach their children from a young age, is how to dress for every situation. The right cut of slacks, the right way to wear a coat, when to wear jeans, when to wear the driving shoes, when to wear the sneakers. How to wear a sports coat or a blazer. If you learned that as a child, that says a lot about your background.

Southern Cali is way more casual in general, and a lot of rich white men looks are terrible, they are usually channeling what was WASP culture in the 80's. Boat shoes and polo shirts with shorts.

White shirts like button up are also a status symbol, because the upper class didn't work in the 1900's. So they could wear white. The best dressed people I have ever been around were like elites from Mexico City.

What's the sense in dressing like you've a residence on Star Island without being able to afford it?
Confidence?
Perception?
Women?
Man, wear what the fukk you like.
One of the main reasons I ain't wore denim in damn near 2 decades and prolly won't for the rest of my life.
:ahh:

The cultural capital taught to children, a predisposition towards a certain cuisine, certain types of music, and a certain taste in art are the distinctions of taste that then guide children to their places in their social class and within the hierarchy of social classes. Such self-selection into a social class is achieved by the child's internalization of preferences for objects and behaviours particular to a given social class, and the internalization of a cultural aversion towards the other social classes, a feeling of "disgust, provoked by horror, or visceral intolerance (‘feeling sick’) of the [bad] tastes of others."[5]

The cultural tastes of the ruling class (communicated through the dominant ideology) determine what is good taste and what is bad taste for the middle class and for the working class. Therefore, the concept of good taste is an example of cultural hegemony, of how a ruling class exercise social control by their possession of the types of capital (social capital, economic capital, cultural capital) that ensure the social reproduction and the cultural reproduction of themselves, as a ruling class. Because persons are taught their cultural tastes in childhood, a person's taste in culture is internalized to their personality, and identify his or her origin in a given social class, which might or might not impede upward social mobility.
