Sure, and the greatest thing about modernity is that during the Roman Empire you would have been executed for wearing Tyrian purple, while now anyone who cares to spend the money is entitled.
Despite Sumptuary law's then it was often the case, as it is now, that anyone who cared to spend the money could become a magistrate and wear a stripe of purple, or spend more money to overthrow a ruler and replace them .. going full purple.
Wearing purple signified not only that you could afford purple, it also signified you could bribe censors to allow you to wear purple.
Much like having the latest model of a limited edition sports car today; not only can you afford the car but you can also afford enough shittier models to be moved up the preferred buyer list or otherwise bribe the sales reps.
