What's the wealth bracket you have to get to where it's awkward to not own a tophat?

Like, you get married, all of a sudden you have to have a duvet somewhere, right? Or if you're Gen X or before and white, a china cabinet.
-
I have had people *astonished* that we don't own a china cabinet. The fuck are we gonna do with a china cabinet, a dog, and 4 cats?
-
3 cats 3 cats sorry
@hootbot didn't mean to scare you I didn't acquire another cat -
Anyhow, back to tophats. There's enough there that it's clearly a social obligation and it would be a faux pas not to have one.

Not familiar with Harvard, but my guess is tradition. Traditional attire isn't something worth finding social justice in IMO.
-
Sigh, yeah, for better or worse, it's The Happy Committee's (aka alumni volunteers') traditional attire.
-
have they considered they dress like a satire of capitalism
-
So, I think this is something I have a different perspective too and have a few thoughts I'm going to type up shortly:
-
*to. I've found it hard to put my feelings into words so I haven't been concise. I hope it somewhat conveys the point I'm trying to make?pic.twitter.com/sq27OKkmu1

My main point is that I feel that it's pretty unfair to associate people wearing top hats to capitalism in the context of a graduation.

I mean to be honest I would wear a tophat all the time if I owned one, but then I might be a bit weird TBH
