 |  |  | By Tamara Abraham,
FASHION EDITOR | | | We’ve all been there. You arrive at a friend’s home, and they ask you to remove your shoes, only you’re wearing novelty socks (and not the cool kind). At least the King, who revealed a hole in his socks when removing his shoes on a mosque visit, would have had some warning – although it’s likely he didn’t care; the odd moth hole is all part of the uniform of the well-born. I identified the five indicators of an upper class wardrobe.
Meanwhile, news of the Fawlty Towers reboot after 40 years inspired Maggie Alderson to reflect on how Sybil Fawlty became an accidental style icon.
