Hmmmmm. I would have thought Britain is fairly homogeneous as far as CM clothing goes; businessmen in Leeds will be closer in dress to those in London than those in Missouri might be to those in LA. Perhaps I should have emphasised that instead of the frequency of travel to London!
Edit to add: I suppose I should explain that every group of British people I know, including some from remote parts of Wales, includes a few that moved to London and stayed, and a few more that worked for a good while in London and then moved back, or on to somewhere similarly remote. Landscape gardeners and farmers in Porth Call have old school friends in finance in The City. The UK revolves around it's capital city-which is massive compared to the size of the country-far more than countries that have smaller capitals and a greater diversity of large non-capital cities. It is more centralised, both physically and psychologically. So the average British person is more familiar with London than the average Australian is with Canberra; or the average Frenchman with Paris.
Now if you mean Society as in the upper class or aristocracy, yes someone from Yorkshire, even someone interested in clothes, may not be familiar with what they wear in their leisure time. I would hazard a guess that they wear a lot of loafers with their casual wear, but it is only guess, and I've no idea about suits.
Aristocracy isn't restricted to London, we have some of the most elaborate and beautiful country estates in England up in the North
Traditionally London was just a place the elite went to do business/politics, all the wealthy folk had homes in the country. Even the Royals try to spend as little time as possible in London and actually prefer Balmoral to Buckingham Palace
Princess Catherine's Father was born in Leeds into a titled Yorkshire family BTW
