I wouldn't know, never having met anyone in "high societ," or the
American upper class. And I'm probably unlikely to. And I'm in the
intellectual/professional/academic strata of the middle class by birth,
marriage, and career; meaning not at the very bottom of it.
I wouldn't say all middle-class dress is "casual," by any means. There
are plenty of jobs where people must wear conservative clothing to
succeed, and so forth.

True....but society....like high society, still cares what you wear
sometimes far more than young people. It's like what the fashion
report from the red carpet is all about. But also what you wear at the
White House or the board room. Me? I live in perpetual casual world.
But my aunt is head of the American Red Cross and sees Bush and others
high up and gives and attends big whoop-de-dos and so on and so
forth.....and one must wear the right kind of thing at the right
time...and it's serious....Jezebell serious. I don't mean to state the
obvious, but in my world, I sometimes forget the rigors of society.
