[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No tattoos, proper grammar, no smoking, well fitted and tasteful clothes, shoes not down at the heels, well spoken and thoughtful, not reactionary or too loud in appearance or demeanor, everyone in family has at least a Bachelor's, ability to discuss politics or world dynamics without getting personal or overly hysterical, limited and tasteful FB/special media posts[/quote]

Lots of upper class folks in worn shoes, especially among the waspy horsy types.[/quote]

This. Travel the wealthier town in New England. The older the clothes, the richer the person. [/quote]

Yes.  There is a look that is cultivated in New England Prep schools.  The worn loafers, polos or oxford shirts, shorts.  They look polished even in their down time.   My dad was not rich, but went on scholarship to private prep HS and he had the 'look'.  It's not pretentious, but if you have been around those crowds you spot it right away.  Most of my family in Connecticut look like this.  My dad's yar/garden clothes were old Lacoste shirts, old khaki shorts.  He wasn't in t-shirts a whole lot or 'gym' type shorts.  There is not a lot of flash.  Expensive pieces, worn well.  Not necessarily brand-obvious. 1

And the surname thing tends to be 'nouveau'. You get many that are the III or IV---but their names can be Robert, John, Paul, Charles, etc.  The lower class American has adopted surnames as first names.  All of those little McKenzies, Parkers, etc.[/quote]

Well at least you got the New England part correct. [/quote]
