[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird to me how New Englanders think looking plain is virtuous or indicative of status. What's wrong with looking nice? [/quote] I think it's just a WASPy New England cultural thing. Flashiness is considered tacky. And I wouldn't say old-money WASPs don't look nice - they just look casual and sporty. Obviously this is a generalization, and there are plenty who ARE flashy, or not sporty-looking, but it's still largely true in my experience. They still pay attention to things like nice highlights, Turnbull suits, etc. But for everyday, yeah, plain and sporty is just the style. [/quote]
