I actually had this discussion with a friend recently while in Monterrey, Mexico. He has lived in Mexico for the majority of the last 20 years and has noticed the trend you describe. He says that the poor in Mexico buy the nicest clothing possible because Mexican society is all about perception. A person dressed in a tailored three-piece suit is perceived to be a man of some status and wealth, and those he interacts with may overlook the fact he lives in a cinder block house with a plastic tarp for a roof. By spending what might seem like an excessive amount of money to purchase fine clothing, a Mexican may find himself ‘socially acceptable’ and employable at a level that would otherwise be impossible.
