@internet.anthropology: Things we find chic, things we find unchic and how taste + distinction are how we perform and reproduce social class #internetanthropology #anthropologistsyoushouldknow #anthropology #anthropologytok #anthrotok #pierrebourdieu #chic #chicdress #coolgirl #chicoutfits
Simmel has a piece on this aswell. The lower class aims to equalise, the upper to differentiate, which leads to an endless cycle. The scene in the devil wears prada in which they talk about a fashion trend dripping down from couture fashion to your hometown budget supermarket illustrates it quite well.

Absolutely serving to recreate and uphold dominate hierarchies. Can we take a moment to pause and think about WHAT exactly is the virtue of having ‘old money’, other than to distance yourself from people you consider below you?

Yes- body types and beauty follow this same “trend market” at a way higher cost. It’ll be interesting to watch how the ultra rich pivot now that ozempic and cosmetic surgery become more ubiquitous and thus more affordable- “interestingly beautiful” and “norm core “ becoming in fashion again means late stage capitalism may have accidentally brought back authenticity?

Forms of elitism and tribalism have always been around since ancient times. This isnt something new, just repackaged in a modern context.

Pigtails aren’t chic until they are. I like to go the opposite route be as cringe as possible.

True. We shouldn’t care about what is chic and what is not. It’s mainly brainrot here on tiktok and there is no grin of creativity. However, taste is cultivated. And ingrained in spaces where different forms of knowledge is spread. So people should just go out and experience life instead of following these classist trends. It’s really not chic ;)
