 Common-place: Object Lessons: A Short History of the High Roll
Such was the tension between high fashion and feminine propriety in the eighteenth century, between expressions of status dependent on the mode and its proponents, and those based on inherent "taste." The hairstyle Winslow donned had not yet reached its height; in fact, the high roll was just beginning its ascent.

 SeccoIntro
Although the term originally referred to wealthy and well-traveled youths who affected trends in fashion, by the time “Liberality” was written, poems such as William Madden’s “The Bath Macaroni” (1781) and the anonymous “Drawings from Living Models taken at Bath,” used the term to evoke laughter from their readers.
As opposed to the youthful Macaronis chronicled in previous poems, Anstey decided on a much older specimen to illustrate the type of person who, after depleting their pecuniary resources, decided to go to Bath to appeal for financial support from the rich under the guise of charity.
It is at this point, towards the end of the poem, that the Macaroni decides, much to the dismay of Anstey, to try his luck in Bath by appealing to the rich for money and living “genteelly” for “the rest of [his] days” (lines135-36).

 Cleveland Women | Yankee Doodle | 4th of July
And what's this business of "stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni?" "Macaroni" was a fancy ("dandy") style of Italian dress widely imitated in England at the time.
