What are markers that identify stangers or acquaintances as posh? Lighthearted!

For me, it's a combination of accent, subtle, expensive haircut & highlights or that perfect shade of blonde..

Also thick, swishy hair!

Get a grip

Clothes from the charity shop and a stinky dog

Seriously @MargotEmin was there really any need for that?
@Coffeeandacupcake asked a light-hearted question in the chat section, Why the nastiness?

@Coffeeandacupcake I don't think I know any posh people these days but when I used to it was always that their large houses were bloody freezing and a bit smelly (dog smells)
My house smells of dog but it's always warm so definitely not posh 😊

Oh dear, that's rather disappointing.

They use mum net - literally everyone on here earns a million pounds a year or DH does,
has ten kids that went to public school and them Oxford, 10 dogs and a pony and still has time for a round of golf!

It's always just accent.

There are no universal markers.

I think it's impossible to describe! Posh just oozes posh for me?

You missed the bit where the OP said it was lighthearted.

Long hair with no parting, or shortish, floppy hair (esp boys); both types need a hand through them occasionally, which never gets stuck in a tangle and hair stays put without falling forward straight away. Manky old good marque car - posh people do not do flashy! LK Bennet. Accent. Private school. Can sail/ride a horse/ski/snowboard/play lacrosse or rugby (at least three of these).

Good manners.

Has no hesitation in buying second hand uniform for public school

Long, thick swishy hair in their natural colour or with really subtle highlights. Emphasis on thick - either they all know something we don't haircare wise, or the genetics swirling around us locally are really strong!

Well rounded, sporty, polite, has dogs, comfortable in social situations, good conversationalist and the men are attentive to their partners.

Posh people don’t do golf! 😱

Long, swishy hair….blonde- that’s funny.

The poshest person I knew was balding and dressed like he'd been at a jumble sale in the dark.

My own DC have been bullied for being posh. My friend told me yesterday that I'm the poshest person she knows. I'm a single Mum on benefits. Very much not posh.

Deck shoes and chino shorts with a long sleeved shirt rolled up for men though some of the mere mortals around here
Have started to copy, usually with a Ralph Lauren shirt and a jauntily tied sweater over their shoulders.

Are secure in having money so don't need to show off with flashy cars etc.

Seems very confident and can talk to anyone. Thin ankles. Smokes. Swears a lot.

My posh acquaintances like to tell me they don't watch TV at any given opportunity. She has thin grey hair and he wears a fleece, so there are no visual clues with this pair.

They never use the word posh.
