    We don’t. Not all of us. But part of it may be that clothes are a really good, fast way to determine someone’s class just by looking at them, especially in today’s label-conscious market. There is a lot of shame in being poor in the US, and if you can possibly hide it, you might. If you can wear designer clothes, you can masquerade, fit in where you might otherwise feel excluded or looked down on. No one knows whether you eat Ramen in the privacy of your own home, but God help us if we invite strangers to look down on us by wearing worn, unfashionable clothes in public.
