--- I wouldn't say at all that a dress code has to do with being in the upper
class or being a "Social climber." The middle and lower classes have dress
codes as well. Even someone in a so-called menial job tends to try to look
their best for something like church. Dressing appropriately simply means you
take pride in yourself.
