Pink polo shirts were in fashion in the 1980s. I was there.

But did it have the same class transition?

It's also interesting that the color switched garments. The "lager louts" aren't going to look like businessmen if they wear polo shirts. Are they trying to? if not, why the same color?

In London, there is a reasonable overlap between set businessmen and set lager louts.
