[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An interesting corollary question would be what is your ethnicity and HHI/net worth.

My suspicion is that white rich people would rather be under dressed than over. They don’t like to show their hand (I.e. show that they care).[/quote]

This is OP - and I am the one who talked in a previous thread about slob privilege (no one liked when I said that - sorry). So I think you are def onto something.

I'm white and in my 40s. We aren't rich in terms of net worth - I am still paying off ridiculous student loans, and we are WAY behind on retirement savings, etc - but we would be real a******* if we complained about our HHI, which these days is around $190k. (I usually describe us, in my head, as broke UMC people.) I do think that being a "comfortable" white person contributes to me feeling good about being underdressed, for sure.

Mostly I just don't feel like myself when I am very dressed up. Though last night I attended a meeting where lots of people were dressed way down, and I wore a dress - and did feel like it was nice to have that bit of sartorial authority. So maybe I only think of myself as enjoying being underdressed but actually I don't. HM.[/quote]
