It is because of the possession of these luxury items that makes it difficult to distinguish the standard of living. On the surface, an individual may appear well-off; wearing designer clothing or endorsing designer items, these luxuries can give a false perception of individuals living in poverty (Lowrey). The presence of material objects in an individual's life is not necessarily linked to their income level. The same challenge arises for the analysis of social structures of the past. As consumerism and innovation grew in 19th-century England, luxury goods considered low-quality, such as potatoes, beer, and tea, became premium commodities. necessity for feeding the middle and upper classes (Thompson). This transition from a poor to a rich product has further increased the gap between the lower class and the upper class in terms of quality and quality level.
