"The Class Set"

You're pathetic, OP.

There's no such thing as the Class Set, and if there is, it could only exist in America.

Only someone with no class doesn't realise class is a dirty word, you cretin.

The fabric in the clothing is natural (silk, cotton, wool, linen); the 'monochromatic' color selection is classic styling; solids colors, never prints; subtle striping is acceptable; and everything is expertly tailored.

Schooling.

Foreign travel. In Britain - a GAP year.

Likely supremely comfortable in the audience at traditional theatre, opera, classical concerts or recitals and the ballet, although they might not have yet attended or sought out this leisure pursuit.

Skiing, Tennis, Golf, Sailing, Equestrian pursuits ditto - sporting pursuits which require investment of substantive funds or selective membership of clubs.

In 2018? They dress almost like the homeless if they're under 30.

The only thing that has proven a genuine truism in my experience is that outside the family, the real richies HATE talking about money. Except with their closest richest friends.

What is The Class Set? Is it an expression? A description? Class Set of what.

#1 marker of socio-economic status is not talking like a jackass.

Short, clipped sentences. Never give too much away.

They could have 2 nickels in the bank, but they still only buy and insist on the very best.

European, linked to the aristocracy (this also applies in countries that abolished theirs), educated at the right schools.
