The so called “Chav” uniform - tracksuits, gold chains, caps and trainers, is literally just the standard uniform of British working class lads, so it’s not even subtle…chav is a slur, not a subculture. The idea it is a subculture was a media fabrication.

Some restaurants have banned “sportswear” which also happens to specifically ban baseball caps, tracksuits, as well as certain brands of trainers. It’s essentially a “working class lads are not welcome here” sign.

Britain has a huge classism problem.

    There is much more working class than the chav sub culture. I don’t buy it being a media fabrication. Britain does have a classism problem, but this isn’t it.

      There’s no such thing as chav sub culture. The “chav” uniform of tracksuits and caps is just the standard attire of working class British lads.
