I think this is what The Great Gatsby was about. It is also possible to spend nearly (same O() but maybe different constant factor) as much on t-shirt and shorts as an Armani suit. Plus the fit of the clothes matter almost more than the brand. But I think the biggest difference is that people who grow up rich often have this ineffable sense of ease with the world.

They're at ease in their environment, not with the world in general.

Put them on the floor of a blacksmith shop and you will see them get nervous.

In the modern west, actual blacksmithing is comparatively rare and niche. "Check out my bespoke wrought iron cuff-links", etc.

Put them on the floor of a McDonalds in a questionable neighborhood -- that's where they'll get nervous.
