The day I retired, I told my SIL she could have my work skirts and fancy tops. I live in jeans and comfy sweaters and shirts -- the few dresses I own seldom come out (like only for things as weddings, etc.). My husband has always worn jeans and will wear a teeshirt to death when working int he garage.
Can we afford the fancy stuff? Yes, easily, but we are not "into" country club attitudes -- or want to wear the attire for it.

I could almost see that. I spend a lot of time in my city's established upper-middle/upper class area and it does seem like a certain set of women wear dresses more frequently "just because". For most others, dress wearing seems to be more limited to certain occasions and is more of a big deal.

I am a dress wearer. I always have been (even at age 6, I wasn't completely prissy, I played outside, played video games, but I just didn't like mud or bugs. ). They are easier, look "polished" and are low effort.
I am solidly middle class, but most of the time you'll find me in a dress or a skirt.
I have only been to a country club a handful of times.

I don't think it's black and white or that wearing dresses frequently is exclusive to the country club set, but I think I could see what that other user was saying.
But what is "solidly middle class" and what were you doing at a country club? Just curious.

I get what you are saying. My DH and I work on the land and do projects all day. We can afford any kind of clothes we want. We want jeans and tees
When I worked at an office I loved dressing up and I did like dresses. Now I don't have a need for dressing up and since I am not out to impress anyone else I like it that way.

My middle class sister is in the Junior League. They had an even there. I've been to a few other ones as well.
I liked the way Sam Walton was. He didn't feel the need to impress anyone. Good for him for not lining up like the sheeple.
I also don't see Mark Zuckerberg worrying about what he wears, lol. He's laughing himself all the way to the bank.
Yeah, but Buffett definitely wore bespoke suits. Not flashy, but not off the rack. ANd looking at photos of Walton, his suits looked tailored to him as well. They still knew how to present themselves when necessary.
And I wouldn't be shocked if Zuckerberg had a custom tailored suit or two tucked away in his closet for those just in case situations. and to be honest, his trademark look is almost expected of him. It's part of the FB package/marketing, if you will.

True but they will also wear normal clothes just from more expensive stores because they can
That was always the main difference that I saw in people with money and middle class. They all wore jeans, tees, blouses, shirts...they just shopped ar different stores and paid different prices.
Tell me the rich don't wear underwear, socks, jeans, pajamas, and tee shirts. Of course they do
