I will say though, does anyone notice in the UK, in general how people of lower income make such a weak effort to dress up. I've been in a few council estates during my time and you do notice the change in clothing type. I notice this here over in England as well, there's a Co-op down the road from my university and a lot of people nearby do walk in, looking like they've just got out of bed.
For me, I couldn't go out the door without dressing up or at least looking reasonable.
A lot of people in council estates just seem to dress like this guy:
Well, yes that's my point. I wonder, though, why they don't make an effort to look presentable? It's just something I've noticed around the UK and I've always wondered why they don't bother. I mean, I'm sure you could get something respectable in Primark or Next or any other equivalent store.
Well, yes that's my point. I wonder, though, why they don't make an effort to look presentable at the least? I'm sure you could get something nice in Primark or Next, so there's no excuse not to dress well.
It's a cultural thing. In the UK a lot of people take pride in being working class or poor, it's an identity. Whereas in the US everyone sees themselves as a temporally embarrassed millionaire
Tbh i wish there was a Boston or New York type city in South Carolina. A place with New York politics but South Carolina climate and sunshine. And of course New York style pizza, seems like we're the only place in the states outside Chicago that can make a decent pizza
Decent pizza abounds in the Philadelphia area...
Even Delaware has Grotto's. Good pizza.
Had Chicago pizza (UNO) earlier this month. It was pretty decent. But nothing to go out of my way to get again.

It isn't unique to the UK, it is the same for many lower working class types everywhere. In the UK they are Chavs, in Australia they are Bogans in Malta they are Hamali...
I'm not referring to chavs. I just notice that they don't make as much of an effort to dress, for example, I've seen people walking around the local Tesco Express in nightgowns.
In the states poor people dress really poorly too. Actually everyone dresses up poorly outside the main urban areas lol, for college bros here the typical uniform would be sweatpants+oversized hoodie+backwards baseball cap. For girls the same, minus the cap, and sometimes they subsitute black leggings/yoga pants
