follow-up on the "how do they flaunt their wealth" question

you said "the super rich tended to favour larger body types and curves/ show off their wealth through diet and being able to afford it", so lots of money = lots of food = fatter people (which probably = more fabric for garments, which circles back to lots of money)

and then you said "whereas the unfathomably rich would circle back around to more typical modern beauty standards and skinnier body types because they can afford like the best dieticians and most elaborate diets possible to make their health and appearance "perfect" in that way"

i'm wondering where the "skinnier body is perfect" claim comes from societally? if money = food = fat, why does looking skinnier (and thus more like the lower class i assume?) ends up desirable?

how do the rich flaunt their wealth?

an easy one for cahan... class wise there's kind of the dirt poor, super rich, and the unfathomably rich, something me and sasha (world building friend) thought of ages ago was basically that the super rich tended to favour larger body types and curves because theyd show off their wealth through diet and being able to afford it, like in some olden day cultures, whereas the unfathomably rich would circle back around to more typical modern beauty standards and skinnier body types because they can afford like the best dieticians and most elaborate diets possible to make their health and appearance "perfect" in that way lmao , also show off a lot through fashion, using more rare and expensive fabrics, more patterns and bright colours in their dying processes, fancy architecture, the rich are expected to host events, balls, put on a show of what they have
