I know what you mean by a 'notch' of dress level, but it's surprising that such a discretization exists. Why are there discrete, generally agreed notches for a multi-dimensional continuous quantity? Humans seem to do this for many things, like phonemes and colors and times of day. Do we avoid clothing halfway between notches, like jorts or terry-cloth tuxedos, for the same reason we avoid uttering phonemes on the boundary between two adjacent ones in our native language?
