In the eyes of the general public, high society generally refers to the class of wealth accumulation to a considerable extent, who rely on strong capital to enjoy top food, the best service and ultra-luxury home experience. For example, the brand-name addition presented in "Little Times", the extravagant and lasciviousness revealed in "Gossip Girl", and the thousands of dollars thrown by the rich in Dubai are all labels of high society that the public thinks.
So, the question is, can the local tycoons and the upper class be equated?
If you think you can, then the following content does not need to be read again, if you think it is not OK, then with the editor to discuss what is the life of high society?
Cost: a thousand dollars? NO！
The editor once saw a sentence in the book review of "Style": "Everyone does not want to play themselves." The interpretation of this sentence is that the bottom wants to dress up the middle, the middle wants to dress up the top, the top wants to dress up the top, and the top wants to play the bottom.
Celebrity gentleman's costumes are customised by handicraft workshops
The real upper class people actually pursue an introverted attitude to life, including daily use and extremely low regulation and frugality. For example, european aristocrats, they are tired of brand-name brands, all the clothes are customized by the ancestors have been used in the handicraft workshop, but not three days and two ends to customize a dress, they often wear an elbow to thin the old suit jacket, and then change into a dress that is not often worn on formal occasions. Family costumes are also very important, and it will feel honorable to wear a costume left by the ancestors to the banquet.
Even if they are rich and oily, the upper class does not change luxury cars frequently. "Style" introduced: "Only the worst class in the upper middle class will buy Mercedes-Benz cars, and you'd better have a Chevrolet, Ford, Plymouth or Dodge, and have no interest in being picky about their models and colors." "Wealth without showing off, calm demeanor is the best trademark of high society."
Entertainment: Is it the norm for a car-scented beauty to lie down? NO！
The leisure activities promoted by the upper classes are concerts, operas or family book clubs, and organizing fragrant cars and beautiful women to lie down as soon as they have time is a typical nouveau riche posture.
Upper class people love polo
Although there are dance parties in high society, they are not the same thing as the beautiful women organized by the upstarts. Noble dances are usually based on ballroom dance, pay attention to etiquette norms such as grooming, clothing, makeup, etc., saying that they are entertainment activities, or rather social activities between famous goalkeepers, meeting new friends in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and expanding social circles.
In addition, sports such as polo, hunting, shooting and horse racing are also popular pastimes of the upper class, advanced intellectual games such as bridge and billiards are also indispensable and gentlemanly sports, and yachting projects, which are known as the crown of entertainment, are even more unattainable. Of course, it is not that they do not play the pastimes of ordinary people, but that they pay more attention to privacy and cultivation, and if they can serve at home, they will never go out and crowd with people.
Taste: Gold and silver fine soft ten fingers in turn? NO！
Celebrities only wear certain jewelry on specific occasions
The poor say they are rich, and they must wear gold and silver. And the real rich man said rich, but said that the drama was dispersed, and the lights went downstairs.
As mentioned earlier, the upper class advocates introverted and low-key, and the same is true for the pursuit of taste. Although dressing is haute couture, high-society women's clothing is usually dominated by conservative colors such as black, gray, white, and dark blue, and strives to be calm and generous in color, with comfortable fabrics, and bright clothes are usually worn only on a few occasions. They rarely wear jewelry, often equipped with specific jewelry on specific occasions, and the most precious ones are handed down from generation to generation.
Residential: Prime location, grandeur? NO!
The homes of the upper class are often located in remote areas, on the one hand, away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of prime locations, and on the other hand, in order to get out of the public eye and protect privacy. The focus on privacy is a sign of the highest class, and for this reason they also set up a wall outside the house, where a wall higher than 1.83 meters indicates the rank of the owner, while a low wall or no wall declares that the owner is not among the upper class. In addition, whether the lane is straight or curved, paved with gravel or asphalt; what is placed in the yard, the style of the garage, the way the house number is written, the weather vane of the roof, etc. can all show the social hierarchy of the owner.
Di Xin home decoration highlights "low-key luxury"
In terms of interior decoration, the traditional aristocratic residences like retro styles, such as gorgeous fabrics, complicated watchtowers, black and white marble corridors, etc., but with the impact of modern life, famous children are more inclined to modern and simple styles such as Di Xin home decoration with superior quality to highlight luxury, through low-key design performance introverted, just to meet the upper class people's pursuit of style and taste, deeply loved by the upper class.
In short, the extravagance and publicity we think of are not the labels of the upper class, on the contrary, they are humble, low-key and exquisite. Some people say that the upper class has hereditary blood, and ordinary people cannot join them. But in fact, high society is not a social form, but a way of life. This way of life is hidden and not mediocre, luxurious but not luxurious, noble but not arrogant, available to everyone, and rare to everyone.
