without basis hypothesis. ere are no research papers on this word, but it was true, that it was referring to “upper-class” people. And, coincidentally, “posh” means dressing neither chic nor snobbish, but simply with “class”. Writer Evelyn Waugh used “posh” in one of her short stories, to better de ne something “special with no apparent e ort”. In 1918, in the weekly “Punch”, the expression “posh” was used for the rst time to indicate a “successful” day. e former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, universally recognized as the “elegant” icon, became famous, without singing, simply by moving her lips. Very successful! “Posh” means therefore the “class”, no longer linked solely and exclusively to social position, birth, or nancial power. Finally confused with personal “success”, the “posh” phenomenon spread rapidly and becomes one of the many systems with which all women today claim the right to please themselves rst of all. It is clear that we are talking about “the God of small things” in our age that has been de ned as “access”, where everything is available, you just need to know how to nd it! To conclude, in this September nally free from the pandemic, even if full of sad omens, caused by a war on the doorstep of Europe, it is clear that we are talking about the smiling and helpful commitment with which most women know how to illuminate their greyer days. Why not, by dressing “posh”!
