He wears various outfits and seldom does he repetitively wear the same clothing. Mack remains, professional but he does not overdo it.
Simon, unlike Mack, is a mid-to-high proletarian and the idea is supported by his clothing preferences. "Legible clothing" [are] things like T-Shirts or caps with messages on them you're supposed to read and admire" (Fussell 56). Early in the film, Simon is wearing a cap displaying his favorite sports team; in fact, team affiliated clothing is common within prole groups. Simon wears t-shirts and jeans off and on the job. Mack on the other hand, wears suits. Simon shows the audience that he rarely dresses fancy. When he does it is simple compared to Mack's. Simon's fancy attire consists of a purple sweater and slacks. According to Fussell's text, "If navy is the upper-middle-class color, purple is the prole equivalent" (Fussell 55) Simon and Mack do not try to keep themselves flawlessly neat; besides, having "excessively neat" and "excessively new" clothing are both low class signs.
However, living in an "excessively neat" and "excessively new" house is normal amongst many of the upper-middle-class people such as Mack. He lives in a Los Angeles area where every house is neatly arranged and seeping with high class. These households very often hire servants to take care of the property since the uppers obviously have no time to waste catering to every little stigma. Mack's backyard is marvelously built with natural wood furniture and the backyard is lush and lively. The organic-materials rule also applies to houses; moreover, there are certain areas where wood is regularly found: kitchen floors, patio furniture, and windows. "On a large house they presuppose a servant (or outdoor man)" (Fussell 84). Mack's wife, Claire, is a stay-at-home mother whose duty is to clean and organize. They live in a fairly large residence; consequently, her cleaning tasks vary a lot more.
