[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The conspicuous consumption we observed several years ago was definitely more obscene at some schools than others, and it doesn’t necessarily correlate with wealth. To name some names: Potomac had parents who were covered in labels. Like, men wearing Burberry shirts that have the trademark pattern on the elbows or collar. Sorry, my DH has and wears several Burberry suits and they don’t have the trademark pattern on them anywhere; that’s a choice a person makes, not just a reflection that they spend money on high quality clothes.

Many if not all private schools are going to have wealthy families but they aren’t necessarily going to have SO many visible or flashy individuals.[/quote]

Sad thing is if you go shop at designer stores, many of the items have their label on them. So do not. Yes, many of my clothes are designer and have no labels on the outside. But many of the ones I like and fit well do have labels.  I don’t really care if you approve of me wearing them as I’m not wearing them to be flashy.  For me this is my typical/baseline style level. I like the way the clothes fit and how they feel.  I am not wearing them to be flashy to you nor do I care what you think of me wearing these clothes.[/quote]
